10.4 Ventilator Failure
If the ventilator fails, the message “VENTILATOR FAIL” is displayed in the
alarm field on the screen. The ventilation soft keys are removed from the
screen and a prompt appears advising the user how to proceed:
“Ventilator failure!”
Only manual ventilation available.
The machine automatically switches to Man/Spont mode:
• Ventilate the patient manually
• If pressure or volume monitoring fails, adequate substitute
monitoring must be ensured.
