Chapter 7: Alarms and messages
GENERAL INFORMATION
The device must be operated so that the alarm is audible and visible by the
user. Audible alarms can be forwarded using the nurse call or the alarm box.
The CARAT II pro ventilator is equipped with fixed and adjustable alarms, relating
to the respective ventilation modes.
There are 3 alarm priorities:
Alarm priority
What action is required?
HIGH
Immediate action is required. Monitor the patient and the cause of
the alarm closely.
MEDIUM
Fast action is required for medium priority alarms. Correct the cause
of the alarm.
LOW
User attention is requested for low-priority alarms. Low-priority
alarms indicate a change at "normal" device operation. Check the
cause of the alarm.
Alarms will lowered in the priority when the alarm event is no longer fulfilled.
The alarm will stay in active until it has been confirmed with the alarm key.
ALARM SOUND TEST
A hardware test is performed with each device start-up. The primary and sec-
ondary alarm sound transmitters are tested (see page 42). Both alarm sound
transmitters must emit a short beep in sequence. Otherwise, an error message is
issued and the device must be returned for servicing.
