ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling alarms in medical diagnostic apparatus where an alarm is generated when a measured value for a physiological parameter passes a threshold. The method determines both the amount of time the measured value is past the threshold, and the amount by which the threshold is passed. The alarm is inhibited based upon a combination of (1) the amount of time and (2) how much past the threshold the measured value is. Preferably, the combination is an integral or some function of an integral.
