USING THE ZOLL VENTILATOR

Managing Alarms
The ZOLL Ventilator uses Smart Help
™
messages that provide a comprehensive suite of
alarms. Smart Help messages alert operators and guide their actions to resolve alarm conditions
and ensure patient safety.
At the onset of an alarm, the screen displays the alarm name and then a series of
context-sensitive Smart Help messages, which describe the possible cause and resolution of
that alarm. When multiple alarms occur, the unit prioritizes alarms and displays those alarms
that indicate the greatest risk to the patient first.
Smart Help Example
The previous illustration provides an example of what the device displays when there are
several alarms. The displayed Alarm message corresponds to the dark alarm bell at the bottom
of the display. You can cycle through the various alarms by turning the ventilator’s selection
dial. If there are less than 5 alarms, this alarm list also includes a “plot” icon, where the alarm
screen is replaced by the Pulse Pleth/Time and Pressure/Time plots.
We describe Alarms in detail in Chapter 5, “Alarms” and provide a comprehensive reference.
