7 Monitoring
7.1 Introduction
WARNING
• The device’s oxygen monitoring function can be
disabled in the system window. To prevent
possible patient injury due to nonfunctional
alarms and monitoring, however, HAMILTON-
MEDICAL recommends that oxygen monitoring
always be enabled.
• In case of malfunction of the ventilator’s built-
in monitoring and to maintain an adequate
level of patient monitoring at all times, it is
mandatory that additional independent moni-
toring devices be used. Regardless, it always
remains the full responsibility of the operator
to ensure proper ventilation and patient safety
in all situations.
NOTE:
• To ensure that oxygen monitoring is always fully
functional, replace an exhausted or missing oxygen
cell as soon as possible or use an external monitor
that complies with EN ISO 21647.
• Dashes displayed in place of monitored data indicate
that valid values are not yet available, or do not
apply.
• Selections with a gray background are not active and
cannot be selected.
• If a ventilator control does not respond when
selected by touch, or by the turn of a P&T knob, the
control is not active in this particular instance or the
function is not implemented.
