Gas Intake Failure
Alarm occurs when the Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Inlet is blocked so that the compressor is not able to
deliver flow sufficient for the current settings and high pressure O
2
is not available to support ventilation. The
user should clear the blockage and restart the ventilator. A false alarm can be triggered in very high vibration
environments.

High O2 Supply Failure
Alarm triggers when the O
2
supply pressure is >87 psig (600 kPa). Pressures above 87 psig (600 kPa) can
result in a catastrophic failure, harm to the patient and/or damage to the device. While the patient is manually
ventilated the user or assistant should seek to reduce the O
2
supply pressure. Sometimes this requires
changing the regulator which is not functioning as required. If the pressure cannot be reduced and a low flow
device like a flow meter is available the user can provide supplemental O
2
via the optional low flow O
2
reser-
voir. To clear the alarm the device should be turned off and then restarted with supply pressure in the appro-
priate range (40 to 87 psig, 276 to 600 kPa) or without the high pressure O
2
source connected.

Self Check Failure
Alarm triggers when the autocal procedure is not able to zero the airway pressure transducer to ambient
pressure
.
When this occurs, manually ventilate the patient
,
replace the ventilator replaced and contact the
service center for additional information. Note: a false alarm can be triggered during operation in very high
vibration environments when the device is not mounted correctly. If this could be the cause, restart the venti-
lator and continue operation if no alarms are triggered.

Self Check Failure
Communication between the airway pressure sensor and SPM is lost. When this happens, manually ven-
tilate the patient, replace the ventilator and contact the service center for additional information.

Exhalation System Failure
Alarm occurs when the PIP fails to return to the baseline pressure for 3 consecutive breaths, indicating that
the exhalation control valve has failed
.
When triggered, the device stops ventilating and attempts to dis-
charge the pressure in the breathing circuit to atmosphere. This failure may be caused by a significant block-
age of the exhalation valve or an occlusion/kink in the exhalation valve tube. If possible, the user should
replace the breathing circuit and restart the ventilator
.
If this does not resolve the failure
,
replace the ventilator
and contact the service center for additional information
.

Exhalation System Failure

,
the PIP High Limit (when PIP High Limit is < 35 cm H
2
O) for > 5
seconds, or when the PIP is >75 cm H
2
O for > 1.5 seconds. When this happens, the device stops ventilating
and attempts to discharge the pressure in the breathing circuit to atmosphere. This failure may be caused by
a significant blockage of the exhalation valve or an occlusion/kink in the exhalation valve tube. If possible,
the user should replace the breathing circuit and restart the ventilator. If this does not resolve the problem,
replace the ventilator and contact the service center for additional information
.

Self Check Failure
Alarm occurs when the 5 volt power bus fails to provide the required voltage. If this failure occurs, the user
should manually ventilate the patient, replace the ventilator and contact the service center for additional infor-
mation
