Fault-Cause-Remedy
The Fabius MRI divides alarm messages into three
categories based on priority. Exclamation marks
indicate the priority. The alarm messages are dis-
played on colored background if the option "Color
display" is enabled:
Internal priority numbers, see page 119, for the
ranking within an alarm category are written below
in brackets, e.g. (23 / 31).
!!! Warning (red) high priority
!! Caution (yellow) medium priority
! Advisory (white) low priority
Priority Alarm Message Probable Cause Remedy

(31)
AIRWAY PRESSURE HIGH Upper alarm limit for airway
pressure has been exceeded,
ventilation hose is kinked.
Alarm limit has been set too
low.
Check hose system on anes-
thesia machine.
Check breathing circuit or
alarm limit value.

APNEA FLOW
1)
1) APNEA FLOW alarm priorities are based on alarm duration and ventilation mode:
In Volume Control, Pressure Control, SIMV/PS with Freq ≥6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation OFF:
Caution = VT <20mL for >15seconds
Warning = VT < 20 mL for >30 seconds
In ManSpont, SIMV/PS with Freq <6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation ON:
Caution = VT <20 mL for >30 seconds
Warning = VT <20 mL for >60 seconds
Breathing/ventilation stops.
Breathing circuit disconnected
or leakage.
Check ventilator.
Check breathing circuit.

APNEA PRESSURE
2)
2) APNEA PRESSURE alarm priorities are based on alarm duration and ventilation mode:
In Volume Control, Pressure Control, SIMV/PS with Freq ≥6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation OFF:
Caution = PAW does not cross the pressure threshold for >15 seconds
Warning = PAW does not cross the pressure threshold for >30 seconds
In ManSpont, SIMV/PS with Freq <6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation ON:
Caution = PAW does not cross the pressure threshold for >30 seconds
Warning = PAW does not cross the pressure threshold for >60 seconds
Breathing/ventilation stops.
Breathing circuit disconnected
or leakage.
Check ventilator.
Check breathing circuit.
