DISCONNECT ALARM
The DISCONNECT alarm triggers when the minimum pressure threshold has not been
reached during the inspiratory phase
of the ventilator. The ventilator will continue to
cycle and alarm until the condition is resolved.
Triggered when airway pressure is < 1.0 cmH
2
O/110 ml of TV at end of inhalation or
pressure increase during last 250ms of inhale is < 1cmH
2
O/120ml.
Device response:
1) Continue active cycling (i.e. delivery breaths).
2) Activating the “DISCONNECT” visual alarm indicator.
3) Activating the High Priority audible alarm indicator.
WARNING:
- The absence of an alarm does not indicate the patient is receiving adequate
ventilation. It is recommended the operator monitor oximetry and blood gases to
ensure adequate gas exchange.
- Failure to respond to alarms can result in serious harm or death. Alarms should
always be monitored, and the operator should be prepared to ventilate with
alternative method.
What to do:
1) Verify all three patient circuit tubes are firmly connected to the ventilator.
2) Verify breathing circuit is firmly attached to airway.
3) Verify all sections of the breathing circuit are firmly connected to one another.
4) Verify placement and seal of airway (Endotracheal tube, mask, etc.).
5) Verify the ventilator’s air intake is not blocked.
6) Verify there is no fluid or debris in control valve, control line or pressure line.
7) Replace breathing circuit if available.
8) Ventilate by alternative means.
PIP REACHED ALARM
The PIP REACHED alarm activates when the pressure measured at the patient airway
exceeds the PIP Limit setting. When this alarm occurs, any inspiration in progress is
terminated and the Exhalation Valve
is opened to prompt an exhale. Except in
MANUAL/CPR MODE, the next breath will begin after the appropriate expiration time
has passed. In MANUAL/CPR MODE, the next breath will initiate when the operator
presses the MANUAL TRIGGER button. The alarm is resolved when a full breath is
delivered without reaching the set PIP Limit.
