Smart Help Messages

At the onset of an alarm, the Alarm Message Center (AMC) in the upper left-hand corner of the
device's LCD screen displays a Smart Help message. The Smart Help message displays the
alarm name with a series of messages to help the operator resolve the alarm. The AMC
indicates the number of active alarms as a series of Alarm Bell icons at the bottom with each
bell indicating an active alarm. The ventilator prioritizes alarms and displays the alarm
indicating the greatest risk first. All messages are context-based and suggest what is causing the
condition and how it can be resolved.
Smart Help messages contain the information and instructions for all active alarms, such as in
the previous example:

Alarm Name: Describes the nature and/or cause of the fault or failure. The Alarm
Name appears at the top of the AMC. When more than one alarm occurs at the
same time, the unit prioritizes them based on patient safety.
Mitigation/Resolution Instructions: Instructions for the operator as to how the
alarm state may be resolved.
If not Resolved Instructions area: Instructions for the operator on what to do if
they cannot resolve the alarm state. The instruction is always shown in the following
format **Message...**.
Alarm Icons: For each active alarm, an alarm bell appears. When multiple alarms
are active, the number of bells corresponds to the number of alarms. The alarm in
the AMC is demonstrated as the solid bell. To view each active alarm, turn the
selection dial to scroll through all active alarms. If there are less then 5 alarms, the
plot icon also appears.
Service Code: Each alarm has a 4 digit number associated with it, which helps the
operator indicate the specific alarm when communicating with technical support.
