CLINICAL MENUS
CLINICIAN’S
ALARMS MENU
Alarms provided to alert the user to incorrect pressure are measured near the mask.
The Insufficient Pressure Support alarm can be turned off in the LOW PS option in the
Alarms menu, and the High Leak alert can be turned off in the LEAK ALERT option in
the Settings menu. All other alarms are permanently enabled. See the AutoSet CS User’s
Manual for a full description of the alarms.
LOW PS
The LOW PS option turns the Insufficient Pressure Support alarm on or off (default
setting is ON). The Insufficient Pressure Support alarm will be triggered if the pressure
support fails to reach an expected level.
If the Insufficient Pressure Support alarm sounds:
1. Stop treatment.
2. Check that the pressure sensor line is not kinked or split.
3. Run the Air Circuit Learn function.
4. Change the circuit to lower the impedance.
It may be necessary to disable the LOW PS alarm if the patient’s treatment requires
the use of elements that create a cumulative impedance higher than that
recommended.
SOUND LEVEL
The loudest setting (HIGH — approximately 85 dBA) is recommended for home use.
The medium setting (MED — 70–85 dBA) is the default setting. LOW setting is
45–60 dBA.
