(1) Whenever the equipment is started, or the patient type is changed, or the battery power is drained without
the ventilator being connected to the power supply, the alarms will reset to default values.
(2) Alarms available only with optional external sensors.
(3) The alarm limits will be adjusted according to the monitored values. Valid only for basic ventilation alarms
(maximum pressure, PEEP, volume, minute volume, rate and FiO
2
).
•
Alarms will return to default values whenever the device restarts or the patient changes.
•
The apnea time can be turned off and, in this condition, there will be no backup
ventilation.
•
THE OPERATOR SHALL BE AWARE OF THE RISKS OF KEEPING THE APNEIA ALARM
OFF.
•
Automatic alarm adjustment is based on the monitored values, so it can only be used
when the ventilator is NOT in the STAND BY mode and preferably when the parameters
are stable.
