Warning
Alarm volume should be adjusted with respect to the ventilator’s operating environment and so
that the patient's caretakers can hear the alarms. The audible alarm vents located at the front of
the device should never be obstructed. The alarm can be paused with the Alarm Pause function
by pressing the ALARM CONTROL key twice once the alarm has been declared.
When an alarm condition is triggered, or there is evidence of a patient-ventilator fault or
problem, examine the patient first before examining the ventilator.
Some alarms are not automatically cancelled when the condition causing the alarm clears e.g. HIGH PRES-
SURE. Some alarms can be paused manually even if the cause(s) of their activation remain(s).
To manually pause an alarm, proceed as follows:
Press the
ALARM CONTROL
key twice.
•
The alarm is paused until the alarm condition is corrected and the condition reoccurs: the
audible portion, light indicator, and message are all halted (for the alarms which can be
paused manually).
•
The Alarm Paused
symbol is displayed at the top right of the Ventilation,
Alarms, and Waveforms screens. Refer to the following graphic:
Figure 3-5.
Manually Pausing Alarms
When no other alarms are currently activated, the last alarm cancelled is displayed continuously in the alarm mes-
sage window in the Alarms menu, along with the date and time of its activation. The High Pressure alarm must
be manually reset. Refer to section
3.7, “Overview of Alarms”
.
To manually reset the High Pressure Alarm, proceed as follows:
Press the
ALARM CONTROL
key twice.
•
The visual alarms will be reset.
