Alarm management

Key components include:

EK-Pro™ Simultaneous Multi-lead Arrhythmia Detection:

• Uses four ECG leads for better arrhythmia detection.
• Benefits: improved artifact rejection, fewer false alarms, continuous monitoring.
   

IntelliRate™:

• Multi-parameter algorithm for ECG, arterial blood pressure, and pulse oximetry.

• Improves ECG accuracy and reduces false alarms.
   

DINAMAP™ SuperStat Non-invasive Blood Pressure:

• Uses oscillometric technology for accurate blood pressure measurement.
   

Pulse oximetry:

• Employs Masimo SET or Nellcor OxiMax algorithms for precise SPO₂ and pulse rate readings, even with patient motion and low perfusion.

These solutions include:

• Smart lead fail: Ensures uninterrupted arrhythmia monitoring even if a lead disconnects, preventing delays in critical situations.
   

• Telemetry smart alarms: Automatically pause and reactivate alarms when patients leave or return to the monitoring area, enhancing patient safety.
   

• User-configurable alarm priority setting¹: Allows clinicians to adjust alarm priorities based on patient needs, reducing unnecessary alerts.
   

• Absolute limits: Safeguards patients by preventing parameter adjustments beyond safe ranges.
   

• Locking alarms: Prevents clinicians from turning off parameter limit alarms, ensuring continuous monitoring.

Primary alarm solutions:

• Auto view on alarm: Notifies caregivers of remote patient distress with
split-screen status display.
• Carescape™ Central Station: Integrates real-time and historical data for efficient alarm management.


   

Secondary alarm solutions:

• Ascom Secondary Alarm Notification: Sends text alerts with bed location and severity for quick response.
• Airstrip Patient Monitoring: Provides critical clinical data on Apple** devices for remote monitoring.
