HIGH f
When the Total Breath Rate (f) exceeds the high breath rate and time period alarm values, the HIGH
f alarm is generated.
• To prevent nuisance alarms, the HIGH f alarm is suspended for the first 60 seconds of ventilator
operation after power up and passing the Power On Self Tests.
When a HIGH f alarm occurs:
• The HIGH f message is flashed in the display window.
• The audible alarm is sounded.
To reset the HIGH f alarm:
1) Push the Silence / Reset button once to silence the audible alarm.
2) Push the Silence / Reset button twice
to reset the alarm (silences the audible alarm and clears the
flashing display).
• When the HIGH f alarm is reset (Silence / Reset button pushed twice), the alarm is
suspended for the next 60 seconds.
• The 60-second suspension of the HIGH f alarm is only enabled when the alarm is manually
silenced/reset by pushing the Silence / Reset button twice. It is not enabled when the HIGH f
alarm is automatically
silenced/reset because the patient’s breath rate no longer exceeds the
set HIGH f alarm value.
