For as long as the condition causing
the alarm is not corrected, the
minimized alarm is colored red and
bears a text message describing the
alarm condition. If the alarm
condition is not resolved within two
minutes, the alarm pop-up will
maximize and sound an audible alert.
WARNING: Rectify all alarm conditions immediately.
Always make sure that the patient is safe. An alternate
means of ventilation must be available at all times.
⇒ If more than one alarm condition occurs, the alarm
messages will appear sequentially according to their
order of appearance from left to right on the minimized
alarm bar.
⇒ To clear a minimized green alarm indicator from the
bottom of the LCD screen, press clear for two seconds.
⇒ All alarms are logged in the logbook. Clearing an alarm
also creates a log entry in the logbook.
