Breath Timeout
No breath is detected for 20 or 60
seconds, depending on the setting
Patient is not breathing.
Patient is breathing through the mouth while
using the Breathe Pillows Interface™.
Breaths are too shallow to trigger ventilation;
change the trigger sensitivity to a lower setting
(higher sensitivity).
Ensure patient interface is not leaking at patient
side.
Inspect and clean the interface per the
instructions for cleaning the interface.
Patient is not breathing.
Check that the interface is connected to the
ventilator, not the compressor.

High Breath Rate
Respiratory rate exceeds the set
limit.
Patient is breathing faster than the rate set by the
clinician.
Inspect and clean the interface per the
instructions for cleaning the interface.
The ventilator may be false triggering because
the trigger sensitivity is set too low (in Assist
or Assist/Control ventilation mode). Verify the
ventilator is syncing with patient effort and adjust
trigger sensitivity higher (lower sensitivity).
