Your system administrator may have configured your central station monitor with
the Central Alarm Watch Manager feature enabled. This feature automatically
activates the Alarm Watch feature for all beds currently displayed on that central
monitor.
Alarm Tone Manager
The Alarm Tone Manager provides two levels of managing alarm notifications.
• If this feature is ENABLED, it will not allow individual alarm tones to be
permanently disabled.
• The system administrator can set a minimum volume for alarm tones
ensuring that they are always at a safe and audible level.

alarms for each bedside that has the Alarm Watch feature
enabled. The central monitor continues watching for alarm
conditions from the selected bedside monitors until you disable
Alarm Watch for that bedside monitor or disable the Auto Alarm
Watch feature altogether.

Auto Alarm Watch feature DISABLED.

administrator with a Biomed level of privileged access.
