7.1 INTRODUCTION
The SERVO-s Ventilator System is equipped
with an alarm system to help ensure patient
safety. Visual and audible alarms warn about:
patient breathing problems e.g., apnea
power problems e.g., loss of AC power
problems with gases e.g., low supply
pressure
hardware problems e.g., overheating
software problems e.g., memory failure
This chapter describes general responses to
alarms, provides the procedure for setting
alarm limits (see also the Operation Overview
chapter), and lists breathing-related alarm
settings along with their allowed ranges.
The Power Supply chapter describes power
supply-related alarms.
The System Messages chapter lists all alarms
along with possible causes and remedies.
WARNINGS!
The default setting of the high airway
pressure alarm is 40 cmH
2
O. It is
important to adjust this setting as
appropriate to avoid excessive airway
pressures.
A potential hazard can arise if different
default alarm settings are used on
ventilators or similar equipment which
are located within the same intensive
care unit or cardiac operating theatres.
Important: Those responding to alarms
must be health care professionals who have
experience in ventilation treatment and who
have been trained in the use of the
SERVO-s Ventilator System.
