A shared
alarm is a sound used to
alert about various
alarm conditions.
A medical monitor may generate similar sounds to indicate the need of
different treatments.
If the same sound is provided about different conditions, the
operators might assume a wrong condition.
The problem is typical of installations in which a certain alarm condition is sound frequently. The operators might get used to react in a certain way, and may react the same also when the alarm is about a different condition.
