Alarm 11. Continuing Positive Pressure
Alarm message.................... Continuing Positive
Pressure
Alarm sub message............. Check the patient
circuit
Priority of alarm ................... 11
Monitor mode....................... All
Can alarm be muted ........... Yes
Sounder Priority................... High
Alarm Description:
When the ventilator detects an increase of 5mbar
above the PEEP, maintained for more than 10
seconds, this alarm is generated.
Action: Check patient. Check patient circuit.
Alarm 12. High Pressure
Alarm message.................... High Pressure
Alarm sub message............. High Pressure
above high alarm
threshold
Priority of alarm ................... 12
Monitor mode....................... All
Can alarm be muted ........... Yes
Sounder Priority................... High
Alarm Description:
If the proximal pressure is above the set high-
pressure level this alarm is generated.
If the proximal pressure is more than 5mbar
above the high-pressure level an additional
command is sent to the control sub-section to cut
the gasses.
Action: Check patient. Adjust ventilation
parameters or high alarm threshold.
Alarm 13. Low Pressure
Alarm message.................... Low Pressure
Alarm sub message ............. Pressure below low
alarm threshold
