Process for generating an alarm, control device and device for carrying out the process
First Claim
1. A process for generating an alarm if at least one monitored parameter, representing a monitored state of a patient, deviates from at least one preset value or value range, the process comprising the steps of:
- detecting or determining a monitored parameter deviation from the preset value or value range over a verification interval, the verification interval having a time limitation of limited duration in time;
adapting, setting or determining a length of the time limitation of the verification interval as a function of the parameter value; and
generating an alarm when the parameter is at or above the preset value for the verification interval.

Abstract
A process is provided for generating an alarm if at least one monitored parameter (13) deviates from at least one preset value or value range, with the detection or determination of parameter (13) in case of its deviation. The process takes into account a verification interval (25) of limited duration in time and with adaptation of the time limitation of the verification interval (25) as a function of the extent of deviation of parameter (13) from the preset value or value range. A control device, a device for generating an alarm, a treatment devices, a digital storage medium, a computer program product as well as to a computer program are provided.

7. A control device for generating an alarm if at least one monitored parameter, representing a monitored state of the patient, deviates from at least one preset value or value range, the control device cooperating with a detecting means for detecting or determining a parameter and a memory or input providing preset parameter values or value ranges, the control device comprising:
-
a comparison means for comparing the detected monitored parameter with preset values or value ranges; a verification interval monitor for monitoring a verification interval with a time limitation of limited duration in time; and a verification interval modifier for adapting, setting or determining a length of the time limitation of the verification interval as a function of the parameter value. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
