Alarms screen, touch
Alarm Quickset , and confirm the selection by pressing the Accept button.

The ventilator will monitor ventilation for 30 seconds and then set the alarm limits. During the 30-
second period, the touch screen will not respond unless an alarm occurs or the
Cancel button is
pressed.
If an alarm occurs during the monitoring period, Alarm Quickset is canceled. If this occurs, check
the ventilator settings and confirm that they meet the physician’s prescription and are meeting
the patient’s needs. Adjust alarms manually if needed to clear any alarm condition. Then activate
Alarm Quickset again.
Alarm Quickset will not activate in standby condition; the ventilator must be in ventilation condi-
tion.
