USING HeRO® ES
Alarms
The HeRO system includes a visual high score alarm that is designed to draw attention to
patients with elevated risk. The alarms activate when a patient’s HeRO Score rises to, or
beyond, a threshold value of 2.0.
The alarm state is indicated by one of the two Alarm Symbols shown below.
State
Off
Active
Appearance
Symbol not shown
Symbol shown with exclamation points flashing
Paused
Symbol shown with exclamation points solid
An active alarm may be paused by tapping (or clicking on) the flashing symbol or the
surrounding area. The alarm will now display the Paused symbol, which will remain visible until
the alarm resets.
When the patient’s score drops below the threshold, an Active or Paused alarm will reset to the
Off state, and the alarm symbol will disappear. The alarm is automatically re-armed such that it
will activate if the threshold value is exceeded in the future.
The alarm system in HeRO is implemented in software and does not require separate testing.
If HeRO is operating, the alarm system is functional.
