Alarms should clearly indicate the specific problem causing the alarm condition. Ideally, the pump should have multiple alarm tones to allow the healthcare facility to choose a tone
that does not conflict with other alarms in the care environment. Adjusting the alarm volume should trigger immediate audible feedback so that users can assess whether the
selected volume is appropriate.
The system should support at least two alarm priorities (normal and high). Alarm conditions that cause the device to stop pumping should be high priority by default.
Audible alarms should be able to be momentarily silenced; however, after silencing, the alarm should automatically reactivate after no longer than 2 min if the alarm condition is still
present.
It should not be possible to indefinitely disable audible alarms without correcting the problem that triggered the alarm.
Although a volume control for audible alarms is desirable, it should not be possible to set the volume to levels that are unlikely to be heard.
Visual alarm indicators—including alarm-silence indicators, alarm messages, and alarm identifiers—should be easy to see and identify at reasonable distances and viewing angles.
In addition to the visual indicators for specific alarms, we prefer that infusion pumps include a general visual indicator that can be seen clearly from at least 15 feet away in any
direction to warn clinicians that an alarm condition exists.
