LOW PEEP
When the patient circuit positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is less than the Low PEEP alarm
setting, the LOW PEEP alarm is generated.
• To prevent nuisance alarms, the LOW PEEP alarm is suspended for the first three (3) breaths or
60 seconds (whichever is longer) after power on and ventilation begins 44 .
When a LOW PEEP alarm occurs:
• The LOW PEEP message is flashed in the display window.
• The audible alarm is sounded.
To reset the LOW PEEP alarm:
1) Push the Silence Reset button once to silence the audible alarm.
2) Push the Silence Reset button twice to reset the alarm (silences the audible alarm and clears the
flashing display).
• When the LOW PEEP alarm is reset (Silence Reset button pushed twice), the alarm is
suspended for the next 60 seconds 44 .
• The 60 second suspension of the LOW PEEP alarm is only enabled when the alarm is
manually silenced/reset by pushing the Silence Reset button twice. The suspension is not
enabled when the LOW PEEP alarm is automatically silenced/reset because the patient’s
PEEP no longer exceeds the set LOW PEEP alarm value 44 .
44 The Low PEEP alarm suspension is only available with software version 05.07 or higher installed.
