ALARM LIMIT
– The tidal volume measurement (TID VOL) shows the volume
for each breath. If the monitor does not detect a valid breath
within a 30-second period, the display area goes blank.
– The breathing rate measurement (BPM) displays the number
of breaths during the previous minute of respiration. If the BPM
display is blank, a full minute of respiration has not occurred.
– The minute volume measurement (MIN VOL) continuously
shows the volume of exhaled gas accumulated during the previous
minute of respiration. A blank MIN VOL display area indicates
that a full one-minute history of exhaled volume is not available.
The minute volume alarm limit, to the right of the minute
volume reading, is the volume below which an alarm condition
occurs.
