ALARM
Buzzer Battery Failure. The Battery
Buzzer Voltage is too low.
Internal technical problem that
prevents the battery sounding the
POWER SUPPLY LOSS alarm.
An FIO 2 sensor is detected and has
not been calibrated.
Failure of one calibration point of
the internal exhaled flow sensor.
Consequence: failed calibration
point is replaced by the default
point.
Internal battery charging failure.
Consequence: charging of the
internal battery impossible.
Inspired tidal volume during
exhalation < 20% of Inspired tidal
volume and Inspired tidal volume >
20mL.
Exhalation valve obstructed.
Internal ventilation fault related to
exhalation valve detection sensor.
(pressure sensor)
FIO 2 measurement is less than 18%.
Recalibrate or change FIO 2 sensor.
1. Loss of signal from the proximal
pressure sensor
Consequence: switch to internal
pressure sensor for the pressure
measurement.
Alarm activation occurs:
In the event of signal loss (1):
After one ventilation cycle
or
In the event of signal loss (2) and
after the 17th breath cycle:
After 17 seconds for P A/C and
V A/C modes, or after the maximum
time between 17 seconds and
Apnea Time + 4 seconds for CPAP,
PSV, P SIMV, and V SIMV modes
No activation of Nurse Call or
remote alarm system when an alarm
is in progress.
