1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an input related to an alarm setting;
accessing stored plethysmographic waveform data, wherein the stored plethysmographic waveform data is representative of data obtained by a medical device;
applying the alarm setting to the plethysmographic waveform data;
displaying a simulated output for the medical device based on the plethysmographic waveform data with the alarm setting applied; and
providing a simulated alarm output representative of an actual alarm output of the medical device based upon the alarm setting and the plethysmographic waveform data.

Abstract
According to various embodiments, methods and systems are provided herein for training a user in alarm behaviors of a medical device. The alarm behaviors may be accessed via a simulator system that obtains input regarding alarm settings, accesses stored plethysmographic waveform data representative of data obtained through the simulated medical device and that applies the alarm setting inputs to the stored plethysmographic waveform data to provide simulated alarm outputs representative of alarm outputs of the medical device.
