LOW PRES
When the peak inspiratory pressure for a selected breath is less than the Low Pressure setting, the
LOW PRES alarm is generated. The Low Pressure alarm can be set to apply to all breaths (ALL
BREATHS) or to Volume Control (VC) and Pressure Control (PC) breaths only. (For information on
selecting breath types, see Chapter 10 - Extended Features, Low Peak Pressure Alarm.)
When a LOW PRES alarm occurs:
• The LOW PRES message is flashed in the display window.
• The Low Pressure control display is flashed.
• The audible alarm is sounded.
To reset the LOW PRES alarm:
1) Push the Silence Reset button twice.
WARNING
Patient Circuit Accessories - The use of accessories such as Speaking Valves, Heat-Moisture
Exchangers and Filters create additional patient circuit resistance and in the event of a disconnection,
may impede the generation of a Low Pressure alarm. Ensure that the Low Pressure alarm settings
accommodate these types of accessories when used in combination with patient circuits.
AVERTISSEMENT
Accessoires du circuit du patient - L’utilisation d’accessoires tels que les membranes vocales, les
échangeurs thermohydriques et les filtres, produit une résistance additionnelle dans le circuit de
patient et en cas de débranchement, elle risque d’empêcher la génération de l’alarme de basse
pression. S’assurer que les paramètres de l’alarme de basse pression s’adaptent à ces types
d’accessoires lorsqu’ils sont utilisés avec les circuits du patient.
