The AlarmView Pager is worn by caregivers assigned to monitor 
patients. It is intended as an additional means of receiving 
patient alarm information.

 

 
Within seconds of detecting an alarm identified by the oximetry 
monitor, the transmitter sends an Initial Alarm Page to its 
assigned pager(s) only. Each transmitter can be programmed to 
send the Initial Alarm Page to one pager, two pagers, or all 
pagers. 
 
Information communicated includes bed number, alarm type, and 
parameter values, such as pulse rate, heart rate, or respiration 
parameter that is outside alarm limits. 
 
If the Initial Alarm Page is not acknowledged at the monitor or 
pager(s), the transmitter will follow up with a Reminder Page 
sent once to all pagers in the system. 
 
Pagers are identified in the system using a 7-digit number unique 
to each pager called a Cap Code. The 7 digits correspond to the 
last six digits of the pager’s serial number (located on the back of 
the pager), preceded by a zero. 

 

For example, if a pager’s serial number is 14045678, its cap 
code is 0045678. 
 
Because basic pager operations vary in different models, 
functions such as turning pager on/off, setting tone or vibrate, 
contrast, backlight, and replacing batteries are not covered here. 
Refer to Appendix A: Basic Pager Functions in the AlarmView 
System User’s Guide. 
 

Replace pager batteries often. If pager batteries are low or depleted, 
the pager’s range may be reduced or the pager may not correctly 
receive pages.
