1. A method for utilizing patient assistance in the determination of a clinically relevant alarm condition using a monitoring device, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a. providing a monitoring device including a central processing unit configured to receive incoming data signals from a sensor concerning a physiological parameter of a patient or incoming data signals concerning technical criteria for the operation of the device or the sensors and to compare the incoming data signals to a predetermined alarm criterion for the physiological parameters and operational criteria of the device and sensors to determine an alarm condition, a user interface operably connected to the central processing unit and electronic storage media operably connected to the central processing unit and adapted to store reactive inputs for use in the determination of an alarm condition;

    b. providing a reactive input into the electronic storage media;

    c. determining the existence of a sensed alarm indication based on a comparison of the incoming data signals and the alarm criterion; and

    d. soliciting a response from the patient based on the reactive inputs during the sensed alarm condition after determining the existence of the sensed alarm condition.
