accompanied by a repeating audible tone.

This alarm is fixed by checking the tubing.

2. Make sure that the tubing is not kinked, crimped or
blocked in any way.

Home screen.
5. If the alarm persists or you cannot find the blockage,
call KCI or your doctor or nurse.

for more than two hours, call your doctor
or nurse right away. Without power to the
