Abstract
The invention relates to a system for and a method of establishing monitoring alarm limits based on physiological variables. Such a method can include the steps of receiving a plurality of physiological variable data where the physiological variable data is representative of physiological wellness variables, correlating alarm states of the physiological wellness variables with alarm states of physiological measurable variables, and providing a best clinical selection for the alarm limits.
Claims33
A method of establishing monitoring alarm limits based on physiologic variables, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of physiological variable data, the physiological variable data being representative of physiological wellness variables;
- correlating alarm states of the physiological wellness variables with alarm states of physiological measurable variables;
- and
- providing a best clinical selection for the alarm limits.
A computer implemented method of establishing alarm limits for a physiological monitor, the physiological monitor being configured to monitor measurable variables of a patient, the method comprising:
- associating alarm states of wellness physiological variables with alarm states of measurable physiological variables;
- providing a range of acceptable alarm limits based on the associated alarm states;
- and
- selecting monitor alarm limits for a physiological monitor based on the provided range of acceptable alarm limits.
A system for establishing monitoring physiological alarm limits based on physiological variables, the system comprising:
- means for receiving a plurality of physiological variable data, the physiological variable data being representative of physiological wellness variables;
- means for correlating alarm states of the wellness physiological wellness variables with alarm states of physiological measurable variables;
- and
- means for providing a best clinical selection for the alarm limits.
A method of establishing monitoring alarm limits based on system variables, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of system variable data, the system variable data being representative of system acceptability variables;
- correlating alarm states of the system acceptability variables with alarm states of system measurable variables;
- and
- providing a manufacture determined selection for the alarm limits.
A computer implemented method of establishing alarm limits for a monitor, the monitor being configured to monitor measurable variables of a system, the method comprising:
- associating alarm states of system acceptability variables with alarm states of system measurable variables;
- providing a range of acceptable alarm limits based on the associated alarm states;
- and
- selecting monitor alarm limits for a monitor based on the provided range of acceptable alarm limits.
