Setting Alarm Limits Alarms and Messages

8 - 8 Operator’s Manual of Anesthesia System

8.6 Setting Alarm Limits

Users can set the limits of PEAK, MV, Vte, RR, FiO

, EtO

, FiN

O, EtN

O, EtCO

and FiCO

alarms to align

the alarm conditions consistent with patient needs. The alarm is then triggered when the parameter

value is greater than the High Limit or lower than the Low Limit.

WARNING: During equipment use, pay frequent attention to the alarm limits of

parameters to ensure that they are appropriately set. Setting the alarm

limits to limiting values will render the alarming system unhelpful.

NOTE: When using the anesthesia system, ensure that the alarm limits of each

parameter are set to the appropriate values for the patient.

NOTE: When the anesthesia system restarts within 60 seconds after an power

outage, the system can automatically restore the recent profile. If the

power outage lasts longer than 120 seconds, the anesthesia system will

automatically load the user profile before the shutdown. If the power

outrage lasts between 60 to 120 seconds, the anesthesia system may

automatically restore the recent profile or automatically load the user

profile before the shutdown.

NOTE: If the equipment is powered off for less than 30 seconds and then

powered on, the alarming settings will be restored to the status before

the system was powered off.

NOTE: If the airway pressure monitoring stays lower than the lower limit of

alarm for 20 seconds or one automatic ventilation cycle (depending on

which one is longer), a corresponding alarm will be triggered.

NOTE: If the Vte monitoring stays higher than the upper limit of alarm for

three consecutive cycles, a corresponding alarm will be triggered.

NOTE: If the Vte monitoring stays lower than the lower limit of alarm for three

consecutive cycles, a corresponding alarm will be triggered.

NOTE: In the manual ventilation mode, the system will disable the [Paw Too

Low] alarm, and the PEAK low alarm limit in monitoring parameters

area will display [Off].
