5. Alarm of disconnection/apnea with the following
characteristics:
a. The time to activate the disconnection/apnea alarm is adjustable
from 10 to 60 seconds.
b. Safety Flow during disconnection/apnea alarms.
Being this feature enabled, during a disconnection/apnea alarm
OXYMO will supply oxygen, by a pulsed mode, reaching a rate of
2 L / min, until the alarm is deactivated or the device is switch off.
If the alarm is silenced (using the button on the keyboard), but
inspirations remain undetected, the alarm is not deactivated and
the security flow is not interrupted.
I NOTE .
This functionality can be enabled or disabled. OXYMO is factory
supplied with the Safety Flow deactivated.
I NOTE .
The Safety Flow is independent from the 3L/min continuous flow
accessory, provided in case of any OXYMO failure (See Chapter 10).
c. Auto Power-Off system.
Being this feature enabled, if the disconnection/apnea alarm is not
disabled within 5 minutes, OXYMO will consider that there is not
any apnea, but a disconnection (the patient would have removed
the nasal cannula, forgetting to shut down the device). In this
situation, it will turn off itself to avoid wasting battery.
I NOTE .
This functionality can be enabled or disabled. OXYMO is factory
supplied with the Auto Power-Off deactivated.
