What causes 'Supply press.low' alarm on Dräger MIcroVent?
- Z

  The 'Supply press.low' alarm on Dräger Medical Equipment indicates that ventilation has stopped. This can be due to: * An empty O2 cylinder or closed cylinder valve: Check the gas supply in the O2 cylinder and connect to a full O2 cylinder. Open the cylinder valve. * A gas probe not properly connected to the medical gas pipeline system: Check the gas pressure in the medical gas pipeline system to ensure it is greater than 2.7 bar. Fully insert the gas probe into the terminal unit.

What causes the audible alarm of the O2-Air mixer on Dräger MIcroVent Medical Equipment?
- M
  Megan JonesSep 15, 2025
  The audible alarm of the O2-Air mixer (for blender 84 12 411) on Dräger Medical Equipment can be caused by a supply pressure of O2 or air being too low, so ensure adequate supply pressures. It may also be due to a difference in pressure between the two supply pressures being greater than 14 psi, so equalize supply pressures so that the difference is less than 14 psi.

  Sandra HernandezSep 2, 2025
  A 'MV low Alarm' on Dräger Medical Equipment can be triggered due to disconnection/leakage, so make sure connections are leak free. It may also be caused by a defective or dirty flow sensor, so exchange the flow sensor. Another cause can be insufficient spontaneous breathing of patient during CPAP, so switch to SIMV or CMV.
