Ventilator Alarms
High Circuit Pressure Interface may be pinched or kinked.
High PEEP Pressure Interface may be blocked.
High PIP Pressure Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) exceeds the set limit.
High Temperature Ventilator CPU or battery temperature is above the allowable limit.
Very Low Battery Ventilator battery capacity drops below 15%.
Battery Low Ventilator battery capacity drops below 25%.
Breath Timeout No breath is detected for 20 seconds or 60 seconds, depending on the setting.
High Breath Rate Respiratory rate exceeds the set limit.
High Delivery Pressure Interface pressure during delivery exceeds the maximum expected.
High Gas Pressure Source gas pressure exceeds the allowable limit (95 PSI).
Low Breath Rate Respiratory rate falls below the set limit.
Low Delivery Pressure Interface pressure during delivery fails to exceed the minimum expected.
Low Gas Pressure Source gas pressure drops below the allowable limit (35 PSI).
Low PIP Pressure PIP below set limit
System Fault Internal fault detected during operation.
POST System Fault System fault detected during ventilator power on.
Monitors and Indicators
Ventilator user interface
Touch screen LCD for settings, monitors, and alarms.
Mechanical buttons for on/off, alarm silence, and prescription settings
Pressure monitoring
Ventilator output pressure and airway pressure are monitored continuously. Airway
pressure is monitored using a lumen in the gas delivery circuit wall, which terminates
in a sensing port on the distal end of the circuit.
Volume Setting displays Delivered volume setting is displayed.
Ventilator breath indicator An LED visual indicator indicating an inspiration.
Compressor battery
indicator
When the compressor is powered on, the internal battery level is displayed using
indicator lights in the battery charge scale. An alarm occurs when battery capacity is
20% or less.
