4. TESTING THE LOW PIP PRESSURE ALARM (MEDIUM PRIORITY) AND
LOW DELIVERY PRESSURE ALARM (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
Begin by ventilating using the Low Activity button. Allow the ventilator to ventilate for a few breaths using the
current settings.
Disconnect the interface from the ventilator.
The top of the touch screen should display the Low PIP Pressure alarm
(in yellow), and you should hear a sequence of three tones indicating a
medium-priority alarm or vibrate.
Use the active alarms button at the top
of the touch screen to display the active
alarms window; the Low Del. Pressure
alarm should be listed in the list of alarms.
NOTE:
If a low- or medium-priority alarm
occurs while the ventilator is in vibration
mode, and the alarm is not resolved within
60 seconds, an audible alarm occurs.
After verifying the correct alarm notifications, reconnect the interface
to the ventilator.
The alarms should resolve themselves once the interface is correctly
reattached.
Close the active alarm list by touching the
Close
button.
