SILENCING AND CLEARING ON-SCREEN ALARMS
Alarm notifications that appear on the touch screen originate from the ventilator. Silencing and clearing on-screen
alarms is a multi-step process that depends on alarm priority and how many alarms are active.
Press the Silence Alarm button to temporarily silence the on-screen alarm for 60 seconds. Pressing the
Silence Alarm button silences only one alarm at a time—in audible or vibrating alarm mode. If more than one
on-screen
alarm occurs, press the Silence Alarm button once for each alarm.
If the on-screen
alarm is a medium- or high-priority alarm and is not silenced after 60 seconds, the alarm
will continue with an additional buzzer and the breath light indicator will illuminate red until the condition is
resolved.
Resolve the condition that triggered the on-screen alarm. For help resolving alarms, see the alarm tables
that follow for possible causes of an alarm and options to resolve it. If a Silence Alarm button is pressed but
the condition that triggered the alarm is not resolved, the alarm will sound again after 60 seconds.
After resolving a High Temperature, High Circuit Pressure, or High PEEP
Pressure high-priority alarm, touch
OK
in the message that indicates the
alarm has been resolved.
