Self Check Failure - Pneumatic System: Compressor
Alarm triggers when communication between the compressor controller and
Smart Pneumatic Module (SPM) is lost and high pressure O
2
is not available to
provide ventilation.
Mitigation/Info: Pneumatic System: Compressor, Manually Ventilate
Patient, Connect 55 psig/380 kPa O

Self Check Failure - Pneumatic Sensor: Pneumotach
Alarm triggers when the flow from the first breath is
±
20% of the expected flow
for the tidal volume at start up. This unusually low RPM is a symptom of a dirty
flow screen which cannot be serviced by the user.
Mitigation/Info: Pneumatic Sensor: Pneumotach, Manually Ventilate

Self Check Failure - Pneumatic System: O
2
Valve
Alarm triggers when the O
2
valve fails in the open position which results in
continuous inspiratory flow. When this occurs the device automatically opens the
exhalation valve to prevent pressure from accumulating in the circuit and
ventilation stops.

Self Check Failure - Pneumatic System: O
2
Valve
Alarm occurs when the signal to the O
2
valve is not delivering the required flow
rate and the compressor is not available to provide ventilation.

and the compressor is not available to provide ventilation.

Low O
2
Supply Failure
Alarm occurs when the O
2
supply pressure is < 35 psig (241 kPa) and the
compressor is not available to support ventilation. If the O
2
source can be
restored the device should be cycled off then on to reset. By design the device
will not reestablish O
2
operation unless the supply pressure is
≥
40 psig (276
kPa). If the supply pressure is between 40 and 87 psig (276 to 600 kPa) the user
should check the hose connections for leaks. Occasionally, this alarm can be
caused by a regulator that provides a static pressure within range but is not able
to provide the flow necessary to meet the patient flow demand.
Mitigation/Info: Manually Ventilate Patient, Connect 55 psig/380 kPa O2,
Restart, Check O
