Danger!
The alarm will not work if the wrong settings are used!
If the VT
low
alarm has been deactivated, or incorrect settings have been used, then
the alarm will not be triggered. If the patient is dependent on the ventilation device
then they are placed at great risk if the alarm fails.
– It is essential to ensure that alarm VT
low
is activated for life-support ventilation
(VENTIlogic LS only). Only if these conditions are met can a blockage (stenosis)
be detected.
– Set the VT
low
alarm appropriately.
Danger!
Failure of alarm function due to incorrect alarm settings in VCV and aVCV
modes (VENTIlogic LS only)!
If the Pressure
high
and Pressure
low
alarms have not been properly set in VCV
and aVCV ventilation modes, then these alarms will not be triggered. If these alarms
are not triggered the patient may be put at risk.
– Make absolutely certain that the Pressure
high
and Pressure
low
alarms are
active in the VCV and aVCV ventilation modes.
– Ensure that appropriate values are used for the Pressure
high
and Pressure
low
alarms.
Warning!
• An alternative ventilation option (e.g. a replacement device or a manual
ventilating bag) needs to be kept to hand for patients who are dependent on a
ventilation device, in case the device fails.
• It is critical that patients who are dependent on the ventilation device are
monitored by the person caring for the patient. Otherwise it is possible that
there will be no reaction to any alarms occurring on the device.
• Ensure that any alarms and malfunctions can be seen at all times and that the
person caring for the patient can take the necessary measures. Recourse can be
had to the VENTIremote alarm remote alarm case or the hospital's own internal
alarm system to support monitoring.
• With the single patient circuit and patient valve, the system only allows the
volume given off by the device to be displayed and monitored. With the valve
system, exhaled volume can only be displayed reliably with a double patient
circuit with patient valve (VENTIlogic LS only). For this reason, you should ensure
that patients dependent on the ventilation device are ventilated with a double
