Set Count or Time of Condition shows the number of occurrences or amount of
time (breath cycles or minutes) during which the condition exists before the alarm
is triggered.
Numbers in parenthesis e.g., (20 with setting change) indicates an alternative Set
Count that takes effect immediately after ventilation or after mode change.
