Message Priority Cause Action
Ventilator has no
drive gas High Drive gas supply is not sufficient to
mechanically ventilate. Check drive gas supply. Use a manual
bag to ventilate the patient until drive
gas supply is restored.
Vol and Apnea
monitoring off Low Non circle circuit is selected. Message will clear when circle circuit is
selected.
Vol vent only. No
PEEP or PSV. Medium Manifold pressure error. Pressure
control unavailable. Bag/Vent switch is
in Vent and running PCV, PSVPro,
SIMV PCV, CPAP + PSV, PCV-VG, or
SIMV PCV-VG mode. Use volume control ventilation mode.
Shut down the system as soon as
possible and contact an authorized
service representative.

Volume sensors
disagree Low TVexp is greater than TVinsp for six
breaths. Calibrate the flow sensors. Replace the
flow sensors if the message does not
clear.
Sustained pressure threshold
The sustained pressure threshold is calculated from the maximum
pressure (Pmax) setting. The sustained limit is calculated as follows:
.
Mechanical Ventilation with
PEEP Off: For Pmax less than 30 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 6 cmH2O.
For Pmax between 30 and 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 20% of
Pmax.
For Pmax greater than 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 12 cmH2O.
Mechanical Ventilation with
PEEP On: For Pmax less than 30 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 6 cmH2O plus “set
PEEP” minus 2 cmH2O.
For Pmax between 30 and 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 20% of
Pmax plus “set PEEP” minus 2 cmH2O.
For Pmax greater than 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 12 cmH2O plus
“set PEEP” minus 2 cmH2O.
Mechanical Ventilation Off: For Pmax between 12 and 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 50% of
Pmax.
For Pmax greater than 60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 30 cmH2O.
