The date/time of the expected alarms was reported as (b)(6) 2022 19:00:00.The involved m300 and ics were tested on site by a draeger technician with no malfunctions identified.Review of the m300 (bed st34-15) alarm history shows 9 hf <45 and 14 asystole (asy) alarms were provided between 19:01:22 and 19:49:53 followed by a lead off at 19:51:24.Review of the ics logfiles show the audio pause button for bed st34-15 was initiated at the ics at 19:45.Review of the event information provided shows that as the patient heart rate decreased, multiple asystole alarms were provided as valid heartbeats continued with less and less frequency and finally no more heartbeats were detected after the last asystole alarm at 19:49:53.The ics/m300 instructions for use (ifu) provides the criteria for an asystole alarm as 4 seconds without a valid qrs (heartbeat) detected.Additionally the ifu provides the following warning the user must remain within the hearing range of the acoustic alarm signal.This operator position makes it possible to quickly detect an alarm and to respond accordingly.The distance to the medical device must be appropriate for the volume of the alarm signal.There was no device malfunction.
