3.5.12 Early Warning Score (EWS)

The Early Warning Scores (EWS) can help you recognize the early sign of deterioration in patients based on vital
signs and clinical observations. Depending on the score calculated, appropriate recommendations are
displayed.
The scoring protocol displayed on the CMS is consistent with that on a patient monitor. The following scoring
protocols may be supported by patient monitors:
■ MEWS (Modified Early Warning Score)
■ NEWS (National Early Warning Score)
■ NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score 2)
■ Custom Score
There are two types of scoring tools:
■ Total score: A subscore is given for each parameter based on the measured or entered value. When all the
required parameters are entered or measured, the subscores are added together to calculate the total early
warning score. Each subscore has a color coding to indicate associated level of risk. When the total score is
outside of the thresholds, actions are recommended. MEWS, NEWS and NEWS2 can give total scores.
■ IPS (individual parameter score): A score indicated by color is given for each parameter based on the
measured or entered value. Each parameter has upper and lower thresholds. When an individual
parameter measured or entered is outside of the thresholds, actions are recommended.
Custom Score is based on user-defined parameters. It can be a total score or an IPS, depending on the
configuation.
MEWS, NEWS and NEWS2 are intended for adult patients only. The patient category of the Custom Score is
defined by Mindray Clinical Score Configuration Tool. For more information, see Mindray Clinical Scoring Config
Tool Instruction for Use (P/N: 046-007126-00).

WARNING
• The EWS scores and recommended actions are for reference only and cannot be directly used for
diagnostic interpretation.
• EWS cannot be used as an prognosis index. It is not a clinical judgement tool. Clinicians must use
their clinical judgement in conjunction with the EWS tool at all times.
• MEWS and NEWS are not applicable to pregnant woman, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease) patients and patients under 16 years old. NEWS2 is not applicable to pregnant woman, and
patients under 16 years old.

3.5.14 Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout

Normally, when a monitoring device supporting the arrhythmia function is connected to the CMS, once an
arrhythmia alarm condition is detected, a corresponding alarm will be issued at the CMS. However, there are
certain situations that can inhibit audible and visible alarm indications even though an alarm condition was
detected.
This section only describes the arrhythmia alarm timeout function for telemetry devices. For arrhythmia alarm
timeout function of patient monitors, see operator’s manuals for these devices.

3.5.14.1 Arrhythmia Alarm Chains

If multiple alarms overlap, announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and a more
serious condition might be overlooked. So arrhythmia alarms are prioritized by alarm "chains".

5 Alarms

5.1 Alarm Introduction

This chapter describes alarm functions and alarm settings.

5.2 Understanding the Alarms

Alarms triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormally or due to technical problems identified by the
monitoring devices are sent to the CMS. The CMS provides visual and audible alarm indications.
Most of the alarms come from monitoring devices. For alarms detected by the CMS, see Appendix B CMS Alarm
Messages.

5.2.1 Alarm Categories

The CMS’ alarms can be classified into two categories: physiological alarms and technical alarms.
■ Physiological alarms, also called patient status alarms, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that
violates set alarm limits or an abnormal patient condition. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in
the physiological alarm area.
■ Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data
distortion due to improper operation or mechanical problems. Technical alarm messages are displayed in
the technical alarm area.
Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages, the CMS will show some messages telling the
system status.

5.2.2 Alarm Priorities

By severity, the alarms are classified into the following priority levels:
■ High priority alarms: indicate a life threatening situation or a severe device malfunction. High priority
alarms require an immediate response.
■ Medium priority alarms: indicate abnormal vital signs or a device malfunction. Medium priority alarms
require a prompt response.
■ Low priority alarms: indicate a discomfort condition, a device malfunction, or an improper operation. Low
priority alarms require you to be aware of this condition.
■ Prompts: provide additional information on the patient or the system status.

5-1
5.2.3 Alarm Indicators
When an alarm occurs, the CMS gives different visual or audible alarm indications as shown below.
.

NOTE
• Alarm time is displayed for latched physiological alarms only.
• The audible and visual alarms given by the CMS comply with the IEC 60601-1-8 standard. The
hospital or institution employing the use of the CMS should give adequate training to the operators.
• When multiple alarms of different priority levels occur simultaneously, the CMS selects the alarms of
the highest priorities and provides alarm tones accordingly.
• When multiple alarms of the same priority levels occur simultaneously and are displayed in the
same area, all the alarm messages will be scrolled in the display area.
• Some physiological alarms, such as asystole, are exclusive. They have identical alarm tones with
normal high level physiological alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed exclusively. That is
to say, when an exclusive physiological alarm and a normal high level physiological alarm are
triggered simultaneously, only the alarm message of the exclusive physiological alarm is displayed.

5-2
5.2.4 Alarm Status Symbols

accessories, disconnect the power supply, dry the equipment, and contact your service personnel.
• Check the equipment after cleaning. If there is any sign of damage, remove it from use.

For the best performance, it is recommended that the CMS touch screen be kept clean. Observe the following
precautions when cleaning the touch screen:
■ Always remember to use a cloth or towel to apply glass cleaner to the touch screen.
■ Any standard glass cleaner can be used to clean the touch screen. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials
to clean a touch screen. DO NOT use alcohol or solvents containing chlorinated hydrocarbons.
■ Remove fingerprints and stains by using a liquid lens cleaner and a soft cloth.
■ Use a fine soft-hair brush to carefully brush away dust and dirt particles.

CAUTION
• To avoid potential system issues, deactivate the touch screen before cleaning.
• DO NOT spray glass cleaner directly on a display as it could possibly leak inside a non-sealed unit
and cause damage.
• Follow your hospital protocol for handling of blood and body fluids.
