3-26
DO NOT use the ventilator until the cause of the alert has been determined
and corrected.
See page 3-20, Occlusion Alarm, Device (automatic), and
page 3-24, Fault, Battery System Alarm, Device Alert
(automatic), for a detailed description of these recoverable
Device Alert Alarms.
There are three possible messages that will be displayed when a non-
recoverable Device Alert Alarm occurs:
MOTOR FAULT
10V SHUTDOWN
SYSTEM ERROR.
For MOTOR FAULT and 10V SHUTDOWN the full text message will be
displayed for 5 seconds, followed by an abbreviated form of the message,
eg. MTR Fail, or 10V Fail. A timing message will also appear, documenting
how long the condition has been present. The format for the time is
“
H:MM:SS
.” The SYSTEM ERROR message will always be displayed with full
text.
If the cause of the SYSTEM ERROR does not allow the
FLIGHT 50 Ventilator to display the alarm message and the
Device Alert indicator to light, the ventilator will shut down
and the Shut Down Alert Alarm will activate.
Upon the next power up of the unit, the SYSTEM ERROR
message will be displayed. If the cause of the alarm has been
corrected, the message can be cancelled by pressing the
Silence/Reset
button.
If a non-recoverable Device Alert alarm occurs,
immediately disconnect the patient from the ventilator and
provide an alternate method of ventilation.
A non-recoverable Device Alert Alarm cannot be silenced
without first turning the ventilator Off (Standby).
3.3.20 Shut Down Alert Alarm (automatic)
Audible Alarm:
Intermittent beeps
The Shut Down Alert Alarm occurs when the ventilator is powered Off. An
intermittent audible alert indicates the ventilator is no longer operating. The
intermittent beeps will continue for at least 10 minutes or until it is silenced by
pressing the
Silence/Reset
button
