ALARM OUTPUT VIA THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL KNOB
The backlighting of the MFK either glows steadily or flashes in the event of an alarm,
depending on the alarm priority (only when " MFK brightness" > 0 %).
ALARM LOG
The device stores the last 50 alarm events. When additional alarms occur, the old-
est entry will be overwritten. You can view the alarms in the alarm log screen. For
more information, please refer to page 59.
Alarms are permanently stored even during a complete power failure.
FORWARDING ALARMS
Alarms can be forwarded by using a nurse call or the
optionally available alarm box. This allows even better
monitoring of the device at the home or clinic. The use of
the remote alarm box or a nurse call is especially recom-
mended when several ventilators are used in one room,
as this allows the device generating the alarm to be eas-
ily identified. The alarms will be forwarded without delay
to the nurse call or the alarm box.
Instructions on how to connect the HOFFRICHTER alarm
box or nurse call can be found on page 59.
Figure 72:
Alarm box
The alarm box is an optional accessory to facilitate remote output of the
alarm. It does not replace monitoring of the ventilator's primary alarm sound!
