beeping audio alarm can be silenced only by turning the ventilator
or anesthesia machine, as applicable, power switch OFF and after
five seconds back ON.
WARNING: ww
ww
Manual ventilation must be performed when electrical interference caus-
es interruption of ventilator delivered mechanical ventilation. Manual
ventilation must be continued until the ventilator resumes normal oper-
ation or an alternated ventilator/anesthesia system can be used.
Troubleshooting by Alarm Messages
Alarm
Message/Symptom
Condition/Probable Cause Service Action
12 hour test 12 continuous hours since last
OFF state test
Cycle mechanical ventilation ON
and OFF
Inspiratory Overshoot PAW is greater than Pinspired
threshold
Change threshold
Pinspired not achieved Pmax does not reach a Pinspired
threshold
1. User may still have control of
actual Pinspired
(Conditions or combination of set-
tings may prevent ventilator from
achieving settings)
Refer to Pressure Sensitivity CAL
Fail listed in Section 4.
PEEP Not Achieved Pmin - PEEP is not within a spe-
cific window
1. Check tubing connections
Rate and/or I:E Ratio may prevent
ventilator from reaching desired
PEEP level
