How do I add alarms?

Depending on the products you have purchased, there will be some alarms templates available. Here is how you add alarms.

What is an alarm?

When eqipment is used as a sensor it can send alarm codes to TelluCare Supervision. This alarm code is matched with a template, and an alarm is created. The alarm will make the health care workers aware of a situation.

Please see local procedures for what to do in the case of an alarm.

How to add the alarms in TelluCare Supervision

Before you can add alarms, please make sure that you have added the patient, and that all necessary equipment is added and connected to the patient. Sensors connected to the Novo is added in the administration tool CMP. Please contact our support if you need help with these.

  • Find you patient from the menu "Patients", and click on the heart icon on the right hand side.
  • Click "Add alarm"
  • Pick the right alarm from the list (see above for a list), and click "Next"
  • If needed, change the options to fit your work processes and needs:
    • Display text: Add a suitable text. This text is shown on the alarm card when an alarm is triggered.
    • Priority: Pick the correct priority. Green is for information, and will not produce an audible alarm. Orange is regular priority, and red is high priority. Orange and red will produce different sounds on a mobile device. 
    • The priority is valid: Use this to set alarm periods if needed. Alarms will only be raised within these time frames.
  • Click "Add". 

The alarm is added to the patient and is ready to be used. We always recommend a test to make sure everything is working as expected.
