DISC/SENSE
When the ventilator detects one of the following conditions, the DISC/SENSE alarm is generated:
• When a sense line is pinched or blocked.
• When a sense line has become disconnected.
• When a sense line is occluded (e.g., excessive condensation in the line).
The ventilator detects circuit pressure during the beginning of each inspiration. If an appropriate
pressure change is not detected, a DISC/SENSE alarm occurs. While the DISC/SENSE alarm is
active, the ventilator cannot sense the circuit pressure so the breath is terminated.
When a DISC/SENSE alarm occurs:
• Inspiration is immediately terminated and exhalation begins.
• The DISC/SENSE message is flashed in the display window.
• The audible alarm is sounded.
To reset the DISC/SENSE alarm:
1) Push the Silence / Reset button to silence the alarm.
2) Push the Silence / Reset button to reset the alarm.
