INOP
An INOP alarm is generated when:
• The ventilator is switched from On to Standby.
• The ventilator detects any condition that is deemed to make the ventilator unsafe.
When an INOP occurs, the ventilator shuts down and sets the hardware to a safe state so the patient
can breathe from room air.
When an INOP alarm occurs:
• Inspiratory flow is stopped and the exhalation valve is opened, allowing the patient to breathe
spontaneously from room air.
• The oxygen blending solenoids are closed.
• The INOP LED is illuminated red.
• The audible alarm is sounded continuously.
To silence the INOP alarm:
1) Push the Silence / Reset button to silence the alarm. For ventilators with an audio sound symbol
(
) on the back panel label, verify a confirming audible chirp occurs after the alarm is silenced

WARNING
Alternative Ventilation - It is recommended that an alternative means of ventilating the patient be
available at all times and that all ventilator operators be fully familiar with emergency ventilation
procedures.
INOP Alarm - If an INOP alarm occurs during operation, ventilate the patient using an alternative
method, disconnect the ventilator, and immediately contact a certified Pulmonetic Systems’ service
technician or Pulmonetic Systems.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ventilation alternative - Il est recommandé qu'un moyen alternatif de ventilation soit disponible en
tout temps, et que tous les opérateurs de ventilateur soient pleinement familiers avec les procédures
de ventilation d'urgence.
Alarme INOP - Si une alarme INOP survient au cours de l'opération, ventilez le patient à l'aide de la
méthode alternative, retirez immédiatement le ventilateur du service, et contactez immédiatement
votre technicien de service certifié de Pulmonetic Systems ou Pulmonetic Systems.
NOTE
An INOP alarm is generated as a part of the normal process of switching the ventilator from On to the
Standby state and does not indicate a problem with the ventilator. The INOP LED will remain lit for a
minimum of 5 minutes and does not affect battery life.
REMARQUE
Une alarme INOP est générée au cours du processus normal de commutation du ventilateur de la
position On (Marche) à la position Standby State (État d’attente), et n’indique pas un problème de
fonctionnement du ventilateur. La DEL INOP restera allumée durant au moins 5 minutes et n’affecte
en rien la durée de vie de la batterie.

The audible chirp occurs after the Inop Alarm sounds for longer than 0.8 seconds and is then silenced.
