The ventilator alarms can be silenced for
60 seconds by pushing the Silence Reset

(Silence Reset LED is red), it will not
sound again until the silence period
expires.
When a high pressure condition is
detected, the HIGH PRES message is
displayed and the High Pres. Limit control
is flashed. If the HP DELAY option is set to
NO DELAY, the audible alarm is sounded
immediately.
When the HP DELAY option is set to
DELAY 1 BRTH or DELAY 2 BRTH, the
audible is not sounded until the second or
third consecutive breath with a high
pressure condition. (See page 10-4 for an
explanation of HP DELAY.)
When an alarm occurs, the audible alarms
sound for a minimum of 3 seconds or for
as long as the condition exists. Some
alarms, such as HIGH PRES may clear
almost immediately and the alarm will
sound for only 3 seconds.
Immediately contact a certified CareFusion
service technician.
Open the exhalation valve and remove the
diaphragm. Reseat the diaphragm and
snap the exhalation valve in place. See
