WARNING
 If the DS-8500 system does not generate an alarm even though the ventilator is generating
an alarm, or if any other malfunction occurs, immediately check the ventilator, this
equipment, cable, and replace the cable if necessary.
 The alarm generation on this system is not guaranteed if the alarm other than the following
generates at the ventilator.

PB 740/PB 760/PB 840:
The PB740/PB760/PB840 acquires alarm information from the nurse call port. The
ventilator alarm that cannot be acquired from the nurse call port is not guaranteed. For
corresponding alarm, refer to the service representative of the ventilator manufacturer.

 When the Evita 2 dura/Evita 4/Evita XL is connected, there is a communication delay of 3
seconds between the DS-8500 system and the Evita ventilator.Therefore, if the alarm
generated at the ventilator is resolved within 3 seconds, the ventilator alarm may not be
generated at the DS-8500 system.
 When connecting the VELIA, ASTRAL, VS ULTRA, refer to the respective operation
manual, and check which ventilator alarm will be output.
 When the VELIA, ASTRAL, VS ULTRA ventilator is connected, and the ventilator power is
turned OFF, alarm will not generate on the DS-8500. If the connection cable is disconnected
from the ventilator, <Vent. Alarm> will generate, but <VENT_COMM> alarm will not
generate on the DS-8500.
