NOTES:
• Options for resolving the alert are based on the configuration of the ventilation system.
• When attempting to resolve an alert, ensure that the patient receives adequate ventilation therapy; place the
patient on an alternate means of ventilation if necessary.
COMPRESSOR ALERTS
The compressor has alerts that are independent of the ventilator. Compressor alerts must be resolved in order for
the compressor alert notifications to be silenced; there is no Silence Alarm button for alerts originating from the
compressor.

Constant Audible Alert
(Compressor stops
operating)
Multiple causes: high motor
temperature, high electronics
temperature, electronic circuit
error, or motor stall.
N/A
Discontinue use of the compressor. Place the
patient on an alternate means of ventilation
(if necessary), or connect the ventilator to an
alternate pressure source (oxygen cylinder or
wall source) in Stand-Alone Configuration.

battery charge status. If the status is less than
two indicator lights, connect the compressor to
an AC power source.
Power off the compressor and power it on again.
If the alert persists, power off the compressor
