An outside limits symbol placed to the right of reading indicates that the value was outside the limits set
when the measurement was taken. In the case of a reading containing multiple values such as non-invasive
blood pressure the alarm symbol will not show which value was outside the limits.
The outside limits symbol will only be shown for patient alarms. It will not be shown to reflect any technical
alarms such as low battery, finger out of SpO2 sensor etc. It will not be shown for invasive pressure
“transducer removed” but will be shown for Capnometer “zero breaths detected”. The symbol shows only
that the value at the time was outside the alarm limit that was set at the time – it will not change based on
subsequent editing of the alarm threshold. It will not be shown for “out of range measurements”. It will not
reflect if an audible alarm was present i.e. will not differentiate if an alarm is muted, alarms suspended etc. it
will merely reflect that the measured parameter was outside of the alarm threshold set at the time.
Note
The trend table shows a single reading where multiple readings may have occurred e.g. 60
individual readings for heart rate that are taken in a minute are represented as a single
reading; this is the first reading recorded in that period. If a single alarm on a given
parameter occurs within the time period set, then this will be shown in preference to the first
reading taken within the period. If multiple alarms occur in the same period on the same
parameter, then the trend table will show the first to occur.
