Alarms can also be silenced before they occur using the Alarm Suspend button . This enables users
to prevent alarms from occurring for two minutes due to intentional intervention with the patient e.g.
removing or moving a patient sensor such as an ECG electrode or pulse oximeter probe.
The Alarm Suspend button is positioned above the Alarm Silence button and has a different function.
Pressing it will disable all audible and visual alarm indications for both technical and patient alarms for two
minutes. During this time the yellow LED above the button will remain lit and the alarm bars on the display
will indicate that alarms are paused and show a countdown for when they will be resumed.
Note
If a new technical alarm condition occurs during an alarms suspended period, once that
period has expired there may be a delay of up to 15 seconds before the technical alarm
audio is sounded.
The Alarm Suspend state can be deactivated at any time during the countdown by pressing the button
again.
