detecting an apnea
event that exceeds
the apnea time set in
the menu.
Incorrect placement
of the electrodes.
Improper threshold.
Missed shallow
breaths.
• Check the patient. Treat the
patient, if clinically indicated.
• If the absence of impedance
changes is due to the place-
ment of the electrodes, repo-
sition them until the
message clears.
• If apnea is due to an
improper threshold, set the
threshold until the message
clears.
• If breaths are missing, use
the manual respiration mode
to ensure the detection of
shallow breaths.
