10.4.5 Alarm Status Symbol
Apart from the aforementioned alarm indicators, the ventilator still uses the following
symbols telling the alarm status:
: indicates that the alarm system is in AUDIO PAUSED state.
: indicates multiple alarm messages when this icon is displayed before alarm
messages to show the number of alarms. The alarm message uses a different background
color to match the alarm priority. Red background means that the highest priority of the
multiple alarm messages is high while yellow background means that the highest
priority of the multiple alarm messages is medium. You can view active alarms by
selecting the alarm message field.
: indicates all active alarms are cleared and there are no currently active alarms.
By pushing this icon, you can view the most recent inactive alarms in the accessed
window (up to 9 alarm messages are displayed). You can also clear inactive alarms with
the [Reset] button.
: indicates that the alarm signal is in the ALARM OFF state.
10.5 Set Alarm Volume
Select [Alarm Setup] and then select [Audio]. Adjust the alarm audio by selecting the +
(increase) or – (decrease) buttons. The alarm audio has 10 levels of adjustment. If there are
no currently active alarms, you can also select [Test]. The system will broadcast low priority
alarm tone once based on the selected alarm volume.
WARNING
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system when using the ventilator.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the patient.
Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
