If the GGM Humidifier is not displaying the temperature and there are no alarm lights, check the F1, F2 (1.5A or 3A) and F3 (1A) internal fuses. If the transformer overheat protector has operated, replace the transformer.
Why am I getting high and low temperature alarms on my GGM VH-2600A-230 Humidifier?
If you are experiencing high and low temperature alarms on your GGM Humidifier, consider the following: * Ventilation rates below about 6 bpm or of a highly erratic nature may affect the stability of the temperature control. * Shield the breathing circuit from external influences, such as an air conditioner, that may be affecting the humidifier's temperature control. * Check the temperature probe positions in the circuit. * Check the temperature probe for intermittent faults.
What to do if water is ejected from the GGM VH-2600A-230 chamber into the circuit?
If the GGM Humidifier chamber is tilted, ensure it is level. If the humidification chamber is filled beyond the maximum water level line, reduce the water level. If the maximum permissible peak flow rate of the humidification chamber has been exceeded, use the correct chamber, referring to the operating instructions for the type of chamber used.
What does temperature probe alarm ‘C.SHT’ mean on the GGM Humidifier?
If your GGM Humidifier displays a temperature probe alarm ‘C.SHT’, it means the chamber temperature probe is short. Replace the probe.
What does temperature probe alarm ‘C.OPN’ mean on GGM VH-2600A-230 Humidifier?
If your GGM Humidifier displays a temperature probe alarm ‘C.OPN’, it indicates that the chamber temperature probe is open. To fix this, replace the probe.
What does temperature probe alarm ‘A.SHT’ mean on my GGM Humidifier?
If your GGM Humidifier displays a temperature probe alarm ‘A.SHT’, it means the airway temperature probe is short. Replace the probe.
What does temperature probe alarm ‘A.OPN’ mean on GGM Humidifier?
If your GGM Humidifier displays a temperature probe alarm ‘A.OPN’, it means the airway temperature probe is open. Replace the probe to resolve this issue.
What does ‘ER.01’ mean on my GGM Humidifier and how do I fix it?
If you see ‘ER.01’ appear on the display of your GGM Humidifier, it indicates a heater wire short. Replace the heater wire to resolve this issue.
Why is the humidity low on my GGM VH-2600A-230 Humidifier?
If the GGM Humidifier shows low humidity, first increase the chamber control setting. If there is no water in the humidification chamber, fill it. Also, check the chamber temperature setting on the display when the humidifier is switched on, and make sure the chamber base and heater plate are smooth, flat, and in good contact.
How to fix temperature probe alarm ‘OPEN’ on GGM VH-2600A-230 Humidifier?
If your GGM Humidifier displays a temperature probe alarm ‘OPEN’, check the connection to ensure the temperature probe is plugged in. If the plug is dirty, clean it. If the problem persists, the temperature probe may be faulty and require replacement.

This document describes the GGM Respiratory Gas Humidifier, models VH-2600 and VH-2600A, a medical device designed to add heat and moisture to respiratory gases for patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The humidifier passes gas through a humidification chamber where it is warmed and humidified. It monitors the gas temperature at the chamber outlet using a chamber probe and controls the power delivered to the heater plate to maintain a set chamber temperature.
The primary function of the GGM Respiratory Gas Humidifier is to provide humidity to breathing circuits or masks for patients. It features two heating systems: a heater plate that warms the water in the humidification chamber and, in certain modes, a heater wire within the breathing circuit to further heat respiratory gases. The device includes various probes to monitor temperatures at different points in the system, ensuring optimal and safe humidification.
