RESP alarm setting
• ALM: pick "ON" to enable prompt message and data record during the RESP alarm; pick "OFF" to disable
the alarm function, and there will be a beside "RESP".
• ALM REC: pick "ON" to enable report printing upon RESP alarm.
• ALM LEV: selectable from HI, MED and LO. Level HIGH represents the most serious case.
• ALM HI: used to set up the upper alarm limit.
• ALM LO: used to set up the lower alarm limit.
RESP alarm is activated when the respiration rate exceeds set ALM HI value or falls below ALM LO value.

• APNEA ALM: to set the standard of judging an apnea case. It ranges from 10 to 40 seconds, increases /
decreases by 5.
• SWEEP: Available options for RESP SWEEP are 6.25, 12.5 and 25.0 mm/s.
• WAVE AMP: The user may set up the displaying amplitude of the RESP waveform. The selections are×
0.25,× 0.5,× 1,× 2,× 4.
• DEFAULT: pick this item to access the RESP DEFAULT CONFIG dialog box, in which the user may select
whether the FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIG or the USER DEFAULT CONFIG is to be used. After selecting
any of the items and exiting the dialog box, the system will pop up the dialog box asking for the user's

RESP Alarm Message
Among physiological alarms, those belonging to the type that the parameter has exceeded the limits may
activate the recorder to automatically output the parameters and related measured waveforms when the
alarms occur on the condition that the alarm record switch in the related menu is On.
Tables below describe the possible physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages occurring
during resp measurement.
Physiological alarms:

RR TOO HIGH
