Alarm Message Summary
Most of the alarm message priorities in the Ultraview Digital Telemetry system are
user-preset choices in the Module Configuration Manager menus (refer to the
Module Configuration Manager chapter of the UCN Operations Manual). These
priorities are shown in the TONE column and allow selection of one out of four
possible levels.
•HIGH
•MEDIUM
•LOW
•NONE
There are a few priority choices of alarm messages that are factory-preset and
cannot be changed. When one of these choices is selected, a message displays
indicating, “This setting cannot be changed.”
The remaining alarms (and alarm messages) that can be prioritized by the user
are observed according to these preset priorities when multiple alarms are
concurrently active. The alarm with the HIGHER priority is activated and its
associated alarm message is displayed. The alarm message(s) with a LOWER
priority setting(s) in MCM is displayed when and only when the alarm message
with the HIGHER priority is cleared.
Prior to any clinical monitoring session, the user is advised to configure these
alarm priority settings in MCM and select those options that are best suited to the
desired level of patient monitoring surveillance.
Unless otherwise specified in their description, the following messages are left on
the top line (full screen monitors, medium font) or second line (split screen
monitors, small font) of the waveform zone. They are displayed for the duration of
the condition that caused the message or for the period specified in their
description unless replaced by a higher priority message. The conditions under
which these messages can be displayed are outlined below. During alarms, alarm
messages flash unless alarms are suspended.
