Alarm 14. Pressure Change Detected
Alarm message ....................................Pressure Change Detected
Alarm sub message .............................Check Patient Connection
Priority of alarm ...................................14
Monitor mode .......................................HFO+CMV only
Can alarm be muted ............................Yes
Sounder Priority...................................High
Alarm Description:
When the user changes a pressure related parameter the ventilator stores the maximum
inspiration and expiration pressure values. On a maximum pressure change greater than
2mbar from the stored value this alarm is generated.
Action: Check patient. Check patient circuit.
Alarm 15. Failure To Cycle
Alarm message ....................................Cycle Fail
Alarm sub message .............................Mechanical breath 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.
Action: Check patient. Adjust ventilation parameters or cycle fail alarm
threshold. Check patient circuit & water trap.
Alarm 16. Pressure Sensor Drift
Alarm message ....................................Pressure sensor drift
Alarm sub message .............................Drift in prox 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.
