pNeuton Ventilator 4 - 6
A patient circuit disconnect is sensed when any of the
following conditions occur:

Mandatory Breaths “ON” – circuit pressure does not
rise above 15 cm H
2
O within 22 seconds of the last
time at least 15 cm H
2
O was sensed.

Mandatory Breaths “OFF” – a pressure of less than
5 cm H
2
O is sensed for 22 seconds
NOTE: Setting a CPAP level of less than 5 cm H
2
O with
Mandatory Breaths OFF will cause a continuous alarm. If
this occurs, either set CPAP to at least 5 cm H
2
O or turn
on the mandatory breaths.
The alarm system can be momentarily silenced by
pressing the Reset / Silence button on the front panel.
Pressing this button turns off the visual and audible
indicators for 1 minute. Each time the Reset / Silence
button is pressed, the alarm system restarts the 1 minute
silence time delay. This delay is NOT cumulative. In other
words, repeatably pressing the Reset / Silence button will
not increase the silence time by more than 1 minute.
The alarm system provides a remote alarm output on the
rear of the ventilator. Use the Airon Remote Alarm (Part
number 21031) to provide a remote audible and visual
indication of active alarm conditions.
