Checking water traps

Monitoring with reduced alarm limits
The »IPPV alarm limits« are automatically activated on
the monitor when a ventilation frequency equal to or
greater than 6 breaths per minute is set in »IPPV« and
»SIMV« modes.
The »SIMV alarm limits« are automatically activated
on the monitor if a ventilation frequency of less than
6 breaths per minute is set in »SIMV« mode.
The »MAN/SPONT alarm limits« are automatically
activated on the monitor in »MAN/SPONT« mode. This
prevents false alarms (see »Alarm concept«, page 65
