6.2 Alarm Indicators
The BiPAP Vision checks its function at startup and periodically during
operation. Ventilator microprocessors continuously monitor internal sensor
readings and evaluate operation. The ventilator analyzes and reports any
discrepancies according to the level of severity.
•
The
Check Vent
and
Vent Inop
indicators can be activated at any time
during ventilator operation, and signal a device malfunction.
•
Patient-related alarms are displayed on the screen.

abnormal operation. When active, the yellow eye icon
lights and an audible alarm sounds. Pressing Alarm

visual indicator cannot be reset, and remains lit until
the error is corrected. The ventilator continues
operation during a
Check Vent
condition.
Vent Inop
indicator: notifies users of a system
malfunction or loss of AC power. When active, the red
wrench icon lights and an audible alarm sounds. The
audible and visual alarms remain active and cannot
be silenced or reset until the on/off switch is set to
the off position. The ventilator immediately powers
down and opens its internal valves to allow
spontaneous breathing.
