Abstract
A method for storing data relating to generated alarms includes receiving a physiological signal or a physiological parameter value. The method also includes generating an alarm in response to a determination that the physiological signal or physiological parameter value meets an alarm condition. Additionally, the method includes receiving a relevance indicator indicating a relevance of the generated alarm and storing the relevance indicator and the alarm condition.
