Instructions for Use Evone
48
9 Alarms
The alarms generated by Evone may have a technical or physiological cause. The user always
shall be in a position to notice audible and/or visual alarm signals of Evone directly.
Physiological alarms arise from monitored patient related variables (like CO
2
levels, intratra-
cheal pressure, etc.). Technical alarms arise from product and interface related issues (like
sensor failure, power failure, valve failure, no gas supply, catheter disconnection).
In table 9.1 all alarms are summed, including the priority level, alarm condition, and the
device or user action.

Priority
Obstruction /
obstruction
respiratory circuit
Obstruction in the
respiratory circuit,
such that ventilation
performance is
reduced.
Ventilation pause
with passive
pressure release
to EEP.
Remove
obstructions and/
or kinks between
the distal end of
the tube and gas
outlet.
High
Intratracheal
pressure high /
Intratracheal
pressure higher
than alarm limit
Intratracheal
pressure is
above the Peak
pressure alarm limit.
Ventilation pause
with passive
pressure release
to EEP until
condition ceases.
Cease delay: 2 s
Check level
of sedation
and (surgical)
manipulations at
patient. If alarm
persists, consider
to briefly deflate
the cuff of Tritube
or briefly
disconnect CTA.
High
Intratracheal
pressure low /
Intratracheal
pressure below EEP
alarm limit
Intratracheal
pressure comes
below the EEP
pressure alarm limit
Ventilation pause
with passive
pressure release
to EEP until
condition ceases.
Cease delay: 2 s
Check level of
sedation and
(surgical)
manipulations at
patient. If alarm
persists, consider
to briefly deflate
