PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING APPARATUS

A physiological monitor has notification unit for notifying an alarm; an alarm determination section that determines whether or not to generate an alarm by comparing measured physiological parameter pertinent to a patient with a predetermined threshold value, an alarm control section that lets the notification unit notify an alarm when the alarm determination section has determined to generate an alarm, and a foot switch that, when being trodden, outputs to the alarm control section an alarm inactivate signal for inactivating the alarm, wherein the alarm control section inactivates the alarm being generated from the notification unit in accordance with the alarm inactivate signal output from the foot switch and lets the notification unit notify by voice details of physiological parameter for which the alarm is being generated.
