<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for controlling an alarm state, such as volume, based on the presence or absence of a caregiver (15) in a patient's room (14). <P>SOLUTION: More specifically, a local sound producing device (10) provides an audible alarm within a room (14) when a caregiver (15) is in the room (14), while a remote sound producing device (20) provides an audible alarm external of the room (14) when the caregiver (15) is not in the room (14). Accordingly, volume levels of the sound producing devices (10, 20) depend on the sensed presence or absence of the caregiver (15) within the room (14). For example, when the caregiver (15) leaves the room (14), the local sound producing device (10) is deactivated and/or the remote sound producing device (20) is activated. Conversely, when the caregiver (15) enters the room (14), the local sound producing device (10) is activated and/or the remote sound producing device (20) is deactivated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
