1. A patient monitor, comprising:
- a medical device interface suitable for operable connection to a sensor;
a display configured to display patient physiological data based on input received from the sensor and to display a graphical representation of representative physiological data;
a graphical user interface configured to receive a user input that alters existing alarm limits for the patient physiological data; and
an alarm modeling feature configured to analyze the representative physiological data to identify alarm conditions corresponding to the altered alarm limits and configured to display indicators that identify the alarm conditions associated with the altered alarm limits and that identify the alarm conditions associated with the previously existing alarm limits that no longer represent alarm conditions on the graphical representation.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to patient monitors with alarm modeling features that may be employed to set alarm limits. According to certain embodiments, the patient monitors may include a user interface for setting alarm limits that may be displayed on the patient monitors and/or on an external device, such as a central monitoring station. The user interface may allow a user to vary alarm limit settings and view how the settings change the alarm history for a representative data trend.

10. A patient monitoring system, comprising:
- one or more patient monitors;
a central monitoring station coupled to the patient monitors and comprising;a display configured to display a graphical representation simulating patient physiological data received from the patient monitors; and
a graphical user interface comprising alarm indicators configured to be displayed with the graphical representation to indicate alarm conditions for portions of the graphical representation, wherein each alarm indicator is displayed adjacent a specific portion of the graphical representation where a respective alarm condition occurs;
an alarm modeling feature configured to modify the display of the alarm indicators in response to a user input altering alarm limits for the patient physiological data and configured to display indicators that identify the alarm conditions associated with the altered alarm limits and that identify the alarm conditions associated with the previously existing alarm limits that no longer represent alarm conditions on the graphical representation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method, comprising:
-
displaying a graphical representation of patient physiological data; displaying indicators identifying current alarm events corresponding to sections of the graphical representation based on current alarm limits, wherein each indicator is displayed adjacent a specific section of the graphical representation where a respective current alarm event occurs; receiving a user input adjusting alarm limits used to determine the current alarm events; determining new alarm events based on the adjusted alarm limits; and displaying indicators that identify the alarm conditions associated with the altered alarm limits and identify the alarm conditions associated with the previously existing alarm limits that no longer represent alarm conditions on the graphical representation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
