ALARM
DESCRIPTION
DEVICE
The device is outside its temperature range or a software, mechanical or
electrical issue has been detected.
DISCONNECT
The minimum pressure threshold has not been reached during an
inhalation. Most likely caused by a disconnection of the Breathing Circuit
tubing or patient airway.
PIP REACHED
The set Peak Inspiratory Pressure Limit has been reached. Possible
causes include: blockage of Breathing Circuit or airway, low lung
compliance (stiff lungs), excessive tidal volume, and tension
pneumothorax.
BATTERY
Low battery alarm. Audible priority escalates as low battery thresholds
reached.
HIGH PEEP
The measured PEEP is 5 cmH2O above set PEEP. Most likely causes are
blockage of the exhalation port or the patient actively exhaling during the
exhalation phase.
LOW PEEP
The measured PEEP is 5 cmH2O below set PEEP.
HIGH MV
The combination of TV/RR requires a flow rate that exceeds the pumps
ability to deliver at an I:E ratio of 1:2. The device will not permit operator to
select these TV/RR combinations.
BREATH
More than 30 seconds have passed since the last manually triggered
breath. Only active in MASK CPR MODE (RR set to zero).
BREATH ASSIST
Indicates a patient inspiratory effort has been detected and a patient
triggered breath has been delivered.
