Ventilation Alarm Verication
To ensure alarms are functioning correctly, maintain the control settings congured as part of “Ventilation Testing
Procedures” on page 112.
NOTE: When performed as a maintenance step during patient use, the V*Home alarm system may be performed using
existing V*Home control settings.
Follow the procedures in the following pages, and verify the following while testing each alarm:
• The name of the alarm condition appears in the upper left-hand corner of the touchscreen.
• A blue, yellow, or red banner ashes across the top of the touchscreen.
• Audible alarm tones are emitted from V*Home.
• When an alarm deactivates, verify that the ashing blue, yellow, or red banner disappears from the top of the
touchscreen, and that the audible alarm tones stop.
Test each alarm as described in the sections below.
NOTE: V*Home tests High PEEP, High Pressure, and High/Low FiO2 alarms automatically. The Patient Circuit Disconnect
and decannulation tests are designed to ensure the Patient Circuit Disconnect and Low Minute Volume alarms are
functioning correctly. Activation of the Low Minute Volume alarm serves as verication the High Minute Volume is also
functional.

manufacturer.
