LIMITS
WARNING: Each time the monitor is used, check alarm
limits to ensure that they are appropriate for the patient
being monitored.
Overview
When the NPB-295 is first turned on, alarm limits are set to their
power-on default values. Power-on default alarm limits can be
changed by qualified service personnel, using the instructions
described in the NPB-295 service manual.
You can temporarily change alarm limits from their power-on
default values if necessary, as described below. Changes you
make will remain in effect until you change them again, or until
you turn off the NPB-295.
Viewing Current Alarm Limits
To view the current alarm limit values from the main menu, press
the LIMITS softkey. The current upper and lower alarm limits
for %SpO
2 and pulse rate are displayed.
Changing Alarm Limits
Use the SELECT softkey to select the parameter whose value you
want to change. Use the Adjust Up/Down Buttons to change the
settings. The setting takes effect immediately and remains in
effect when the alarm setting menu is exited.
Alarm Limits Changed Indicator
If alarm limits are changed from the NPB-295’s power-on
defaults, a decimal point appears after the displayed value and in
the %SpO
2 and Pulse Rate Display as illustrated in Figure-9. The
decimal point remains on the display until the NPB-295 is turned
off or the limit is returned to its default value.
