Alarm autoset
In controlled ventilation modes, the upper and

Run mode. Gas metric alarms cannot be
automatically set this way.
The autoset limits are derived from the
measured patient values displayed on the
screen. A percentage of the displayed value,
or a fixed number, is either added to, or
subtracted from the displayed value to give
the upper and lower alarm limits. See the
following tables for specific values.
