Abstract
An alarm processor has a signal input responsive to a physiological parameter and a plurality of parameter processors responsive to the signal input so as to provide a plurality of different measurements of the parameter. In addition, the alarm processor has an alarm condition applicable to at least one of the measurements so as to define a limit for the parameter. Further, the alarm processor has an alarm indicator operating on the measurements and the alarm condition so as to provide an alarm output that changes state to indicate that the parameter may have exceeded the limit.
