High nCPAP pressure
A high priority audible/visual alarm will be activated whenever the nCPAP exceeds the high airway pressure threshold for
a period greater than 15 seconds.
Threshold: Set CPAP Level + 3 cmH

Threshold is automatically updated upon acceptance of a change in the nCPAP control setting.
Low nCPAP Pressure
A high priority audible/visual alarm will be activated whenever the nCPAP pressure falls below the low airway pressure
threshold for a period greater than 15 seconds.
Threshold: Set nCPAP Level - 2 cmH

nCPAP Pressure Limit
A high priority audible/visual alarm will be activated whenever the nCPAP pressure is greater than airway pressure limit
for 3 seconds. The alarm will deactivate when the nCPAP pressure drops below 4.5 cmH
