Alarms and Messages
General information
Risk of injury due to failure to recognise alarm!
Failure to recognise alarms can result in serious injuries for
the patient.
Ö Always operate the device so that the alarms are audible
and visible by the user. Audible alarms can be forwarded
using the alarm box.
Please note: Alarms are switched off when the alarm event is no longer fulfilled and
the priority has been lowered, but the alarm remains active until it has been con-
firmed with the alarm key.
The LAVI ventilator is equipped with fixed and adjustable alarms, relating to the respec-
tive ventilation modes. There are three 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.
