What to do if Covidien Puritan Bennett 560 shows 'HIGH PRESSURE' alarm?
If the Covidien Medical Equipment shows a 'HIGH PRESSURE' alarm, it could be due to several reasons. First, the 'Max PIP' setting might be too low, so try increasing the Max PIP threshold. Second, there may be an airway obstruction, so check the patient’s trachea and clear any obstruction. Finally, it could be due to defective internal circuits or pressure sensor, in which case the ventilator should be replaced, and customer service should be contacted.
What to do if Covidien Puritan Bennett 560 displays 'LOW BATTERY'?
If your Covidien Medical Equipment displays a 'LOW BATTERY' warning, immediately connect the ventilator to an AC power outlet or an external DC power source. This indicates that the internal battery capacity is low (less than 30 minutes or 8%) due to extended battery operation.
How to fix AC power disconnection on Covidien Puritan Bennett 560 Medical Equipment?
If the Covidien Medical Equipment is not working because of 'AC POWER DISCONNECTION', first cancel the alarm. Then, check the supply cable and verify the voltage availability at the AC power port.
