Overview of ventilation monitoring
The device connectivity option enables the Cockpit
to display parameter values, waveforms, and loops
from a Servo-i ventilator.
Within 30 seconds of connecting a device, the data
appear at the Cockpit. The ventilator monitoring
functions are configurable in the parameter-specific
setup page (see page 427).
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the section "For your safety and that of your
patients" on page 13. For device-specific error
messages, refer to the instructions for use of the
connected ventilator.
Infinity CentralStation – Vent Central
option
Certain parameters, settings, modes, and
waveforms originating from Servo-i ventilators are
broadcast to the network via the Cockpit. If the
patient is admitted at an ICS (Infinity
CentralStation) with software version VF8 and the
Vent Central option is activated, you can review the
above-mentioned data at the ICS. For more
detailed information, refer to the VF8 instructions
for use entitled ’
Infinity CentralStation’
.
External device alarms
Alarms from the ventilator are transmitted to the
Infinity network and made available for alarm
annunciation at the ICS. For more information, refer
to the Instructions for use
Infinity CentralStation
.
If the external device alarm feature is activated at
the Cockpit (see page 461) and an external device
is disconnected from the Cockpit, the following
happens at the Cockpit and at the ICS when the
patient is admitted at the ICS:
– An alarm tone of low priority sounds.
– The message
External device disconnected
is displayed.
NOTE
Ventilation waveforms are not supported on re-
cordings.
NOTE
When connecting a ventilator that does not sup-
port CO
2
monitoring, the Cockpit may still display
a CO
2
tab in the
Ventilator
dialog.
