High Leak
This test must be carried out using the patient's actual circuit and
interface (including catheter mount and cannula if in use). If oxygen is
in use, include the oxygen flow entrained to the oxygen inlet at the
rear of the device.
1. On the Setup, Clinical Settings menu, set Mode to T and
Respiratory Rate to 30 bpm.
2. Set the High Leak Alarm to ON.
3. Start therapy.
4. Partially block the air tubing.
The alarm is triggered when leak exceeds 40 L/min (0.67 L/sec) for
at least 20 sec. If too much leak occurs, the Circuit Disconnected
alarm may be activated.

1. Disconnect air tubing at the device air outlet.
2. Start therapy.
If your configuration does not adequately trigger this alarm, it is
due to the resistance of your accessories—not the device.
Consider using the High Leak, Low Minute Ventilation, Low
Pressure, Low Respiratory Rate and Apnoea alarms.
