Configure the fields in the Alarm Settings section of the Vocera Carescape Adapter.
This section of the Main Adapter Settings provides the fields used to configure
repeatable Carescape alarms. The facility must specify repeat intervals for High,
Medium, Low, and Message priority alarms, as well as a reset interval, for determining
how long to wait for a repeated alarm before setting it to inactive.
-
Access the Vocera Carescape Adapter
configuration page, and locate the Alarm
Settings section.
-
Complete the configuration fields as described in the table, for new or
existing adapters.
Configuration Field Description High Priority Alarm Repeat Interval Enter a time in seconds before an active High (level 7) priority alarm is registered as a new alert. The default setting is 240 seconds; enter a number between 0 and 3600 (1 hour). Use 0 to never resend an alarm. Medium Priority Alarm Repeat Interval Enter a time in seconds before an active Medium (level 6) priority alarm is registered as a new alert. The default setting is 240 seconds; enter a number between 0 and 3600 (1 hour). Use 0 to never resend an alarm. Low Priority Alarm Repeat Interval Enter a time in seconds before an active Low (level 5) priority alarm is registered as a new alert. The default setting is 240 seconds; enter a number between 0 and 3600 (1 hour). Use 0 to never resend an alarm. Message Priority Alarm Repeat Interval Enter a time in seconds before an active Message (level 3) priority alarm is registered as a new alert. The default setting is 240 seconds; enter a number between 0 and 3600 (1 hour). Use 0 to never resend an alarm. Reset Interval The Alarm Reset Interval is the period of time to wait for a repeated alarm before setting it to inactive. Enter a time in seconds after the last message from an alarm was received before setting the alarm to Inactive. The default setting is 5 seconds; enter a number between 0 and 3600 (1 hour). Use 0 to never automatically reset an alarm to Inactive. Reset Exceptions Specify the alarms for which no repeated alarm is expected, and therefore should not be reset. Enter one alarm per line in this field. For example, some monitored medical devices allow the patient to press a call button. This type of alert (nurse call) does not repeat, and therefore, this alert should not be made inactive when additional alarm messages are not received. - Select one of the available options to exit the adapter configuration page.
