Alarms and other
messages
Table 9-3 is a list of alarms and other messages displayed by the ventilator,
along with descriptions, suggested corrective actions, and other information.
The ID (identifier) listed with the priority type is the priority number of the
alarm. This priority number determines the order of alarm message display.
Unless otherwise indicated, alarms listed as autoresettable are reset when the
alarm condition is removed.

or direct connection to an
ETT/trach). Check for an
occlusion, kink or liquid in
the patient circuit. Low

tion. Autoresets after a
complete inspiration with-

firm ventilator and alarm
settings are appropriate. If
