Alarm setup
Use the Alarm Setup menu to set and adjust alarm limits, alarm
volume, and other alarm settings and to view alarm history. The
Alarm Setup menu contains the Primary Limits, More Limits,
Alarm History, and Configure submenus.
Setting Leak Audio to Off silences audio alarms for small leaks.
Leak Audio is automatically set to On and cannot be changed when
either the Low MV alarm limits are off or the MV/TV Alarms is set to
Off.
Selecting Change to Default Limits loads the default settings as set
by the Super User or the factory defaults if no Super User settings
have been entered.
Setting alarms for manual ventilation
The following alarms can be turned off to reduce nuisance alarms
during manual ventilation if clinically appropriate:
• CO2 Alarms
• Vol Apnea Alarm
• MV/TV Alarms
Vol Apnea Alarm selection will not be visible unless enabled in
Super User mode.
CO2 Alarms and Vol Apnea Alarm can only be turned off while in
manual ventilation.
Once mechanical ventilation begins by setting the Bag/Vent switch to
Vent, the alarms will be set to On.
Use the Alarm Setup menu to set CO2 Alarms, Vol Apnea Alarm,
and MV/TV Alarms to Off, if clinically appropriate.
Use the Alarms On/Off function key to quickly disable the CO2
Alarms and MV/TV Alarms limits during manual ventilation, if
clinically appropriate.
Instructions for setting the CO2 Alarms, Vol Apnea Alarm, and
MV/TV Alarms can be found in "Setting CO2 alarms", "Setting
volume apnea alarm", and "Setting MV/TV alarms".
If experiencing frequent apnea alarms due to small tidal volumes,
apnea alarm filtering can be enabled in Super User mode. Apnea
alarm filtering uses CO2 breaths to filter the volume apnea alarms
when Patient Weight is set to the minimum. ‘Volume Apnea Off’
shows in the message field when the apnea alarm filter conditions
are met.
