Home / Adaptive Threshold Alarm
Masimo's innovative Adaptive Threshold Alarm helps reduce nuisance alarms by automatically adjusting the audible alarm to the patient's baseline. Adaptive Threshold Alarm is an optional setting with the simple on/off activation in the alarms setting menu.
5 hr patient SpO2 trend (red) showing SpO2 baseline (bold blue) and Adaptive Threshold Alarm (light blue) with the alarm delays set to 10 seconds.
An analysis of 32 million data points showed Adaptive Threshold Alarm reduced audible alarm occurrence by 86% at a low SpO2 alarm setting of 90%, which represents a significant improvement over a standard 15-second delay.
