Patient Disconnect
Alarm triggers when the airway pressure fails to exceed the PEEP setting by
~ 7 cm H
2
O. When this occurs the user should check the patient connection,
breathing circuit connections and the exhalation valve. At times this alarm can be
caused by the patient breathing with the ventilator during inspiration which
prevents the PIP from passing the minimum pressure.
Mitigation/Info: Check Patient Connection, Check Circuit for Loose
Hose/Tube, Check Exhalation Valve, Check Patient, Replace Circuit,
**Manually Ventilate Patient**

Patient Detected - Backup Ventilation Started
An alarm triggers when you connect the patient to the ventilator while the Start
Menu is active. To resolve the alarm, you must select a mode of ventilation and
configure the device appropriately for the patient. In addition, you should perform
the Operational Test procedure before reconnecting the patient to the device.
Mitigation/Info: Backup Ventilation Started, Set Mode (AC, SIMV, CPAP,
BL), Configure Other Settings, **Manually Ventilate Patient and
Restart**

S
pont. Breath PIP High - Pressure Exceeds Limit Setting
Alarm triggers when the airway pressure, PIP, exceeds the High PIP Limit
Setting during 2 consecutive spontaneous breaths. The user should quickly
check for kinked hoses/ tubes and check for airway obstruction. Suctioned the
patient if necessary. The user should also check if the High PIP limit is set
correctly of if the pressure support (PS) level is set too high.
Mitigation/Info: Pressure Exceeds Limit Setting, Check Circuit for Kinked
Hose/Tube, Check for Airway Obstruction, Suction Airway if Necessary,
Check High Limit Setting, **Manually Ventilate Patient**
2171
Spont. Breath PIP Low
Alarm triggers when the airway pressure, PIP, exceeds the Low PIP Limit Setting
during 2 consecutive spontaneous breaths. The user should quickly check circuit
for loose hoses/ tubes and also check the exhalation valve and the tube
placement/ cuff. The user should also check if the Low PIP Limit is set correctly.
Mitigation/Info: Check Patient Connection, Check Circuit for Loose
Hose/Tube, Check Exhalation Valve, Check Tube Placement/ Cuff,
Check Low Limit Setting, **Manually Ventilate Patient**
2172
Spont. Breath Vt High
Alarm triggers when the high VT Limit is exceeded during 2 consecutive
spontaneous breaths. The user should check: the patient connection, airway
placement, breathing circuit for loose hoses/ tubes and also check the exhalation
valve. The user should also check if the High VT Limit is set correctly.
Mitigation/Info: Check Patient Connection, Check Circuit for Loose
Hose/Tube, Check Exhalation Valve, Check Tube Placement/ Cuff,
Check Limit Setting, **Monitor Patient**
