Device for controlling the alarm limit of an alarm device
First Claim
1. A controlling device for controlling a state of an alarm limit of an alarm device, wherein the alarm device is configured for generating an alarm signal in association with a monitored physiological parameter of a patient, wherein the alarm limit triggers the generation of the alarm signal, the controlling device comprising:
- a receiving unit configured for receiving information indicating an administration of a treatment to the patient,a determining unit configured for determining whether the treatment is administered to the patient based on the information received from the receiving unit, anda controlling unit configured for changing at least one of an operational mode of the alarm limit and a value of the alarm limit based on a result determined by the determining unit.

Abstract
A controlling device (110) is configured for controlling a state of an alarm limit of an alarm device (108). The alarm device (108) is configured for generating an alarm signal in association with a monitored physiological parameter of a patient. The alarm limit triggers the generation of the alarm signal. In order to automatically control the state of the alarm limit, the controlling device (110) comprises a receiving unit (146) configured for receiving information indicating an administration of a treatment to the patient, a determining unit (148) configured for determining whether the treatment is administered to the patient based on the received information, and a controlling unit (150) configured for controlling the state of the alarm limit based on a result of the determination of the determining unit (148).

13. A patient monitoring apparatus for monitoring at least one physiological parameter of a patient, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to; receive values of monitored physiological parameters, determine whether the values of the received physiological parameters violates alarm limits, determine whether a treatment administering apparatus is administering a treatment to the patient, and in response to determining that the treatment is being administered to the patient, change at least one of an operational mode and a value of an alarm limit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A patient monitoring apparatus for monitoring at least one physiological parameter of a patient, the apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors configured to; receive values of monitored physiological parameters, determine whether the values of the received physiological parameters violates alarm limits, determine whether a treatment administering apparatus is administering a treatment to the patient, and in response to determining that the treatment is being administered to the patient, change at least one of an operational mode and a value of an alarm limit; and a display device, the display device being configured to indicate whether the treatment is being administered by the treatment administering apparatus to the patient; wherein the display device is further configured to display one or more values of the monitored physiological parameters and indicate when the values of the received physiological parameters violate the alarm limits.
