Method and apparatus for communicating an alarm while monitoring
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface for displaying an alarm condition on a patient monitor, the graphical user interface comprising:
- a chart that displays a physiological parameter of a patient;
an alarm communication device separate from the chart that indicates a state of the physiological parameter displayed by the chart, the alarm communication device including at least a stable region, an intermediate region, and a critical region, at least one of the intermediate region and the critical region representing the alarm condition; and
a tolerance control that adjusts at least one of a boundary and a width of at least one of the stable region, the intermediate region, and the critical region in order to adjust the alarm condition.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for displaying an alarm condition on a patient monitor. A graphical user interface can include an alarm communication device that indicates a state of a physiological parameter. The alarm communication device can include a stable region, an intermediate region, and a critical region. At least one of the intermediate region and the critical region can represent the alarm condition. The graphical user interface can also include a tolerance control that adjusts at least one of a boundary and a width of at least one of the stable region, the intermediate region, and the critical region in order to adjust the alarm condition.

17. A graphical user interface for displaying an alarm condition on a patient monitor, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a chart including; an acquired data stream of a physiological parameter; an upper tracking threshold displayed above the acquired data stream; and a lower tracking threshold displayed below the acquired data stream; an alarm communication device separate from the chart that indicates a state of the physiological parameter displayed by the chart, the alarm communication device including at least a stable region, an intermediate region, and a critical region, at least one of the intermediate region and the critical region representing the alarm condition; and a tolerance control that adjusts at least one of the upper tracking threshold and the lower tracking threshold in order to adjust the alarm condition. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A method of displaying an alarm condition with respect to a physiological parameter being acquired form a patient, the method comprising:
-
indicating whether a physiological parameter is within one of a stable region, an intermediate region, and a critical region, on an alarm communication device that is separate from a chart displaying the physiological parameter, at least one of the intermediate region and the critical region representing the alarm condition; and adjusting at least one of a boundary and a width of at least one of the stable region, the intermediate region, and the critical region in order to adjust the alarm condition. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

56. A device for displaying an alarm condition with respect to a physiological parameter being acquired from a patient, the device comprising:
-
means for indicating a state of a physiological parameter separate from a means for displaying the physiological parameter, the state being within one of a stable region, an intermediate region, and a critical region, at least one of the intermediate region and the critical region representing the alarm condition; and means for adjusting at least one of a boundary and a width of at least one of the stable region, the intermediate region, and the critical region in order to adjust the alarm condition.
