8.3 Technical Alarm
Low Internal Battery Warning
The low battery alarm can be triggered prematurely by a sudden increase
in flow, such as an excessive leakage, a large breath or a mask off event. If
this should happen, restart the Vivo 40 on internal battery. If the low bat-
tery alarm persists, the internal battery needs to be charged.
