37.5 Alarm and inoperative indications
The VueLink display will show ventilator alarms and inoperative conditions.
Alarms and Inoperative conditions (inops) are displayed along the top of the
VueLink monitor screen.
The inops are shown in green at the top left of the screen, alarms are shown in
either yellow (mid top screen) or red (top right).
Red alarms indicate a life-threatening situation which requires an immediate
response from the medical staff and yellow alarms indicate a situation where the
medical staff are necessary but it is of less critical importance.
The textual alarm messages on the VueLink system are brief summaries of the
ventilator alarm conditions. The following table shows how the SLE5000
