Technical specifications overview
WARNING ACCESSORIES — Any deviation from the recommended
specifications may impact performance and potentially result
in loss of monitoring.

WARNING LOSS OF MONITORING — Leave space for circulation of air to

prevent the equipment from overheating. The manufacturer
is not responsible for damage to equipment caused by
improperly vented cabinets, improper or faulty power, or
insufficient wall strength to support equipment mounted on
such walls. The environmental operating conditions specified
in the technical specifications supplement must be ensured at
all times.

Due to continual product innovation, design and specifications for this product are
subject to change without notice. Availability of some features is dependent on the
monitoring devices in use. Additionally, some features may only be available when an
optional license is purchased.

alarms
● Configurable parameter alarm limits.
Central station system status Notification of system related issues (i.e., an in-unit patient
alarms that does not appear in a patient Multi-Viewer window)
or a central station that is running low on resources (e.g.,
memory).
Audio alarm level The alarm system is capable of generating HIGH (CRISIS)
priority alarm tones with a sound pressure level of 82
± 3 dB when tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1-8
Clause 6.3.3.2 with the processing unit in a horizontal
configuration with the front panel bezel facing forward
and with the external speakers situated on the left and
right front-top of the enclosure and facing forward.
Alarm setting persistence Alarm settings remain intact through power interruptions
and controlled system restarts.
Alarm Audio Off Reminder Audio alarm notification will occur at the central station
when ALL of the following conditions are met:
● The central station Volume Current is set to 10% or
higher.
● The telemetry monitoring device Alarm Audio On/Off
is set to ON.
● The bedside monitoring device is not configured for
use in operating rooms.
If the central station Volume Current is set to 0%, the
Alarm Audio Off Reminder sounds every 120 seconds
± 10 seconds until the alarm condition is resolved or
acknowledged.
The central station will not sound the Alarm Audio Off
Reminder when ANY of the following conditions are met:
● The monitoring device audio alarms are paused.
● The telemetry monitoring device Alarm Audio On/Off
is set to OFF.
● The telemetry monitoring device Alarm Audio On/Off
is set to Alarm Audio Pause - Smart Alarm.
● The bedside monitoring device is configured for use
in operating rooms.
● The monitoring device Alarm Audio Off Reminder is
set to No.

2048001-130B CARESCAPE Central Station 7

 Item Description
NO COMM visual notification A maximum of 10 seconds after the detection of loss of
delay network connection.
Time to alarm for arrhythmias With respect to performance characteristics of IEC
(e.g., tachycardia) and response 60601-2-27, sub clause 201.7.9.2.9:
time of heart rate meter Central station parameter values, including alarm
annunciations (e.g., tachycardia), changes in parameter
numerics (e.g., response time of heart rate meter), and
other alarms such as limit violations, are updated every
two seconds. Due to delays at the monitoring device to
detect and generate an alarm signal, and delays of the
network to transfer the alarm signal to the central station,
alarm annunciation at the central station is delayed by
up to two seconds with respect to the monitoring device
(average is one second). Delay between onset of a clinical
event, the alarm determination, and alarm signaling
for that event varies by monitoring device. For more
information, see the documentation accompanying the
device.
