Page 136
Alarm 15. Cycle Fail
Alarm message ....................Cycle Fail
Alarm sub message .............Mechanical Breath
was not detected at
ET
Priority of alarm ....................15
Monitor mode .......................All
Can alarm be muted ............Yes
Sounder Priority ...................High
Alarm Description:
If during each ventilator cycle the proximal
pressure fails to go above and then below the
user selected fail to cycle threshold, this alarm is
generated.
With TTV
Plus
on.
With TTV
Plus
on the alarm will trigger if the PIP &
PEEP are below 3 mbar, Proximal airway tube is
disconnected.
Action: Check patient. Adjust ventilation
parameters or cycle fail alarm threshold.
Check patient circuit Proximal airway tube &
water trap.
Alarm 16. Pressure Sensor Drift
Alarm message ....................Pressure Sensor
Drift
Alarm sub message .............Drift in proximal
pressure sensor
detected
Priority of alarm ....................16
Monitor mode .......................All
Can alarm be muted ............Yes
Sounder Priority ...................High
Alarm Description:
If the readings from two pressure transducers
differ by more than 5mbar, this alarm is
generated.
Action: Remove patient to alternative form of
ventilation, then remove ventilator from
service.

Alarm Description:
When the ventilator set alarm threshold of 5mbar
below the mean pressure level is crossed, this
alarm is generated.
Action: Check patient. Press autoset or adjust
ventilation parameters. Check patient circuit
& water trap.
