High priority alarm
Delay
Description
LOW AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE
< 1 second
The air network pressure is below the specified range.
This alarm will not be triggered if the O
2
% parameter is
at 100% and the Oxygen network is operating within the
required specifications.
COMMUNICATION FAILURE
< 1 second
Indicates that there was a technical failure in the
equipment that needs to be replaced.
OBSTRUCTION
< 2 cycles
There is some obstruction in the respiratory circuit that
prevents the patient's complete or adequate expiration.
DISCONNECTED
< 5 cycles
There was disconnection of the respiratory circuit or flow
sensor lines (if any), which prevents adequate
ventilation of the patient.
HIGH PRESSURE
< 2 cycles
The pressure reached exceeded the alarm value set as
the upper pressure limit.
LOW PRESSURE
< 2 cycles
The pressure did not reach the alarm value set as the
lower pressure limit.
CHECK INTERNAL SENSOR
< 1 second
Indicates that there was a technical failure in the
equipment that needs to be replaced.
CHECK BATTERY
< 1 second
Indicates that there may be an issue with the battery.
HIGH VOLUME
< 3 cycles
The patient volume exceeded the alarm value set as its
upper limit.
LOW VOLUME
< 3 cycles
The patient volume is below the alarm value set as its
lower limit.
FLOWAIR: VERY HIGH
TEMPERATURE
1
< 1 second
Indicates that the temperature of the FlowAir system is
too high.
FLOWAIR: FAILURE
1
< 1 second
Indicates a failure in the FlowAir system
FIO
2
BELOW 18%
< 3 cycles
The inspired fraction of O
2
is less than 18%.
Table 31 - Medium Priority Alarms
Medium priority alarm
Delay
Description
LIMITED PRESSURE
< 1 second
When the monitored pressure reaches the set maximum
pressure. The volume delivered by the ventilator module
does not reach the adjusted volume due to the pressure
limitation.
CHECK FLOW SENSOR
< 3 cycles
indicates that the flow sensor is disconnected. In these
conditions all the monitoring that depends on this sensor
(VT, MV, Rate, Vins, Tinsp, I: E, T exp, C stat, C dyn,
Res,
, iT, Volume Leak, VxTime Chart) will NOT be
displayed. In volume-controlled ventilation modes,
delivered volumes of the equipment will vary by up to ±
10%.
HIGH PEEP
< 3 cycles
The positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) exceeded
the alarm value set as its upper limit.
LOW PEEP
< 3 cycles
The positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) did not
reach the alarm value set as its lower limit.
HIGH MINUTE VOL
< 3 cycles
The minute volume delivered to the patient exceeded
the alarm value set as its upper limit.
LOW MINUTE VOL
< 3 cycles
The minute volume delivered to the patient is below the
alarm value set as its lower limit.
