<p>Disclosed is the selecting of a limit value, such as an alarm limit, from a range of limit values (110, 120) dependent on a starting value (100). The selected limit value is applicable e.g. in a patient monitoring system for monitoring a physiological parameter for providing a signal when a monitored value of the physiological parameter exceeds the selected limit value. According to the invention, the range of limit values (110, 120) comprises a functional range (110B, 120B) with a functional relationship of the limit values to the starting values, and at least one non-functional range (110A, 120A) with no functional relationship of the limit values to the starting values. <IMAGE></p> |
