Alarms

 

 

Power Fail

 

If  the  electrical  power  to  the  ventilator  is  interrupted,  an  audible 

alarm will sound. This alarm will run for 5 minutes unless cancelled with the mute 
button. Once cancelled the power fail alarm will not re-activate.  

Low Internal Battery

 

When running on its internal battery, the alarm will operate when 

the battery is low. This could last for up to 1 hour. When the alarm becomes constant 
there is approximately 10 minutes running time left. 

Low External Battery 

When  running  on  its  external  battery,  the  alarm  will  operate 

when  the  battery  is  low.  This  could  last for  up to  1  hour. When the  alarm  becomes 
constant there is approximately 10 minutes running time left. 

Low Pressure 

A pre-set low pressure alarm is provided. If the control pressure falls 

to  below  50%  of the  set  IPAP  level for  10  seconds  an  audible  and  visual  alarm  will 
operate.  

High Pressure

 

A pre-set high-pressure alarm is provided. If the pressure rises above 

120% of the working pressure, an audible and visual alarm will operate after a 2 second 
delay. 

Breathing Circuit Disconnect

  A disconnection alarm is provided as a back up to 

the high flow alarm. If the patients flow waveform indicates that a significant leak 
maybe present in the breathing circuit an audible and visual alarm will operate. 
The sensitivity of the alarm is adjustable

Breathing Circuit Malfunction

  This  alarm  warns  of  a  malfunction  of  the  exhale 

valve in the IPPV mode circuit.

 

High Flow alarm

  An adjustable alarm is provided to warn of excess inspiratory flow. 

This is activated when the inspiratory flow exceeds the set high flow alarm level 
for 5 seconds. An audible and visual alarm will operate. 

Low Flow alarm

 An adjustable alarm is provided to warn of insufficient inspiratory 

flow. This is activated when the inspiratory flow fails to achieve the set low flow 
alarm level for 10 seconds. An audible and visual alarm will operate. 

Apnoea  Alarm 

An  adjustable  Apnoea  alarm  is  provided.  If  an  apnoea  is  detected  an 

audible alarm will sound with a visual indication on screen.

 

Max Breath Rate 

An  adjustable  maximum  breath  rate  alarm  is  provided.  If  the  max 

breath rate is exceeded an audible and visual alarm will operate.

 

Fault

 The alarm may also be operated by an internal fault. In this case the fault will be 

displayed on screen. 

These alarms may be muted for approximately 2 minutes to allow for setting up of 
the ventilator. 

Low  Internal  Alarm/Memory  Battery

  An  intermittent  alarm  (short  beep)  with  no 

onscreen message indicates a depleted mains fail alarm battery. If the ventilator has 
been stored for more than a few weeks the internal battery will self-discharge. In this 
case the alarm will stop after the battery has recharged.
