Self Check Fault - Pneumatic Sensor
Alarm triggers when communication between the Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Inlet
pressure sensor is lost. Normal operation can continue but, if the condition is not
cleared by powering off and restarting the device should be replaced when
appropriate as. When used during this alarm condition the user should be sure to
keep the Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Inlet clear and ensure that external filters are
checked regularly.

Detect Inlet Obstruction, **Contact Service Center**

High O
2
Supply Fault
Alarm triggers when the high pressure O
2
supply is
≥
80 psig (552 kPa) and < 87
psig (600 kPa). The alarm automatically cancels when the supply pressure is <
80 psig (552 kPa). Pressure above 87 psig (600kPa) could result in a
catastrophic failure, harm to the patient and/or damage to the device. The user
should reduce the O
2
supply pressure, sometimes this requires replacing the
regulator that is not functioning correctly. If the pressure cannot be reduced and
a low flow device like a flow meter is available the user can provide supplemental
O
2
via the optional low flow O
2
reservoir. If not, the user should monitor the O
2
supply pressure and ensure that the pressure does not rise further.
Mitigation/Info: Decrease O

Tubing Compliance Fault
Alarm is triggered when the tubing compliance correction shows that it is > the
set tidal volume indicating that the patient may not be receiving the appropriate
tidal volume. In this case the user should assess the patient and settings.
Consult the attending physician if there are questions about how to configure the
ventilator correctly to support the patient.
Mitigation/Info: Calculated Compliance Volume Larger than Delivered
Volume, Check Tubing Compliance vs. Circuit
3091
AutoPEEP
Alarm triggers when the exhaled flow from the patient continues throughout the
expiratory period causing the expiratory control valve to cycle throughout the
period to maintain the baseline pressure. When this occurs the user should
increase the expiratory period by decreasing the inspiratory time, decreasing the
breathing rate or both. The physician should also be consulted as this alarm is an
indication that AutoPEEP is occurring. Note: at startup, this alarm is off. The user
can choose to activate the alarm if they believe the patient is at risk of AutoPEEP
using the Alarm Configuration submenu that is access using the Menu.
Mitigation/Info: Increase Expiratory Time, Decrease Inspiratory Time,
Decrease Respiratory Rate, Disable Alarm, **Consult Physician**
