Notification Priority
Only one alarm will show on the display. The alarm list is processed in the order shown in the table
below, and the first active alarm that occurs will show on the display. If more than one alarm condition is
active, the highest priority alarm will show on the display. If the alarm conditions present are the same
priority, only the first one will show on the display.
• Internal Hardware Failure (medium priority alarm)—upon detection of an internal malfunction, the
system will sound an alarm. This may coincide with a visual indication, depending upon the
malfunction.
• Max Inflate Timeout (medium priority alarm)—1 minute prior to timing out, the system sounds a
warning alarm and shows a message that permits the caregiver to extend or end the Max Inflate
mode. If no action is taken, Max Inflate will automatically revert to the previous selected therapy
mode in 1 minute.
• Side Deflate Timeout (medium priority alarm)—the system will sound an alarm if the sides are left
deflated for more than 30 minutes. During this alarm, the operator is permitted to extend side
deflate or inflate the sides.
NOTE:
The Side Deflate Timeout alarm is only operational when the system is operated in manual mode.
• Turn Failed (medium priority alarm)—turns are permitted 5 minutes to complete. If a maximum turn
has not been achieved after 5 minutes the system will sound a Turn Failed alarm.
• High Pressure/Low Pressure (medium priority alarm)—if one or more zones fail to maintain pressure
for 15 consecutive minutes, the system will sound a Low/High Pressure alarm. The display will show
which zone(s) has failed. You can silence this alarm for 10 minutes for troubleshooting.
