6.6 Testing Alarms
When the monitor starts up, a selftest will be performed automatically. The alarm indicator will
flash once in yellow and red. Then, the system gives a beep indicating that the visible and audible
alarm indicators are functioning correctly. The start-up screen is displayed.
For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for
example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check if alarms behave
correctly.
