Graphical User Interface For Monitor Alarm Management
First Claim
1. A monitor, comprising:
- a display;
a graphical user interface capable of being illustrated on the display, the graphical user interface comprising;
an indication of an alarm threshold value;
an indication of an alarm integration threshold value; and
a graphical representation of a physiological parameter, wherein the indication of the alarm threshold value generally comprises a line on the graphical representation, and the indication of the alarm integration threshold value generally comprises a shaded area on the graphical representation; and
a processor capable of calculating the physiological parameter for illustration on the display.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method for facilitating user input of alarm settings for a patient monitor. In various embodiments, a pulse oximetry monitor may include a graphical user interface (GUI) which is capable of displaying a graph of blood oxygen saturation percentage over time. The system may be capable of allowing a user to enter an alarm threshold value and/or an alarm integration threshold value. The alarm threshold value may be displayed as a line on the graph, and the alarm integration threshold value may be displayed as a shaded area on the graph. The GUI may include an indicator of where an alarm would be initiated given the graph, the input alarm threshold value, and/or the alarm integration threshold value. The disclosed GUI may provide the user with a clear illustration of how the alarm threshold value and alarm integration threshold value may affect the alarm.
