Patent attributes
A system for managing an alarm issued by a medical device being used to treat a patient is disclosed. The system includes a processor coupled to at least one of the medical device, a monitoring system being used to monitor the patient, and a hospital system. The system also includes a memory coupled to the processor. The memory contains data and instructions that, when loaded into the processor and executed, cause the processor to receive the alarm and retrieve information from one or more of the medical device, the monitoring system, and the hospital system. The information comprises a dynamic attribute associated with the patient. The system then assigns a sub-priority to the alarm based in part on evaluation of the dynamic attribute and provides an alert to a staff member.
