Section 5 - Operation
Breathing Pressure Monitoring
Controlling the
Apnea Alarm
APNEA
ALARM
DISABLE
You can alternately enable and disable the breathing pressure apnea
alarm with the APNEA ALARM DISABLE key.
• To disable a working alarm, press the APNEA ALARM DISABLE key.
The APNEA-P OFF message appears on the central alarm display.
• To enable a disabled alarm, press the APNEA ALARM DISABLE key.
The APNEA-P OFF message disappears from the central alarm
display.
NOTE: The apnea alarm is automatically disabled on power-up to
avoid a spurious alarm with a spontaneously breathing
patient. When you turn on the ventilator, the alarm is
automatically enabled (or you can enable it manually with
the APNEA ALARM DISABLE key). The alarm remains
enabled even if you turn off the ventilator, unless you
manually disable it by pressing the APNEA ALARM
DISABLE key.
