Fault-Cause-Remedy

The Fabius plus divides alarm messages into three
categories based on priority. Exclamation marks
indicate the priority. The alarm messages are dis-
played on colored background if the option "Color
display" is enabled:
!!! Warning (red)
!! Caution (yellow)
! Advisory (white)
Internal priority numbers, see page 109, for the
ranking within an alarm category are written below
in brackets, e.g. (23 / 31).
Priority Alarm Message
!!! AIRWAY PRESSURE HIGH
(31)
!! / !!! APNEA FLOW
(23 / 31)
!! / !!! APNEA PRESSURE
(23 / 31)
1) APNEA FLOW alarm priorities are based on alarm duration and ventilation mode:
In Volume Control, Pressure Control, SIMV/PS with Freq ≥6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation OFF:
Caution = V <20 mL for >15 seconds
T
Warning = V <20 mL for >30 seconds
T
In ManSpont, SIMV/PS with Freq <6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation ON:
Caution = V <20 mL for >30 seconds
T
Warning = V <20 mL for >60 seconds
T
2) APNEA PRESSURE alarm priorities are based on alarm duration and ventilation mode:
In Volume Control, Pressure Control, SIMV/PS with Freq ≥6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation OFF:
Caution = P does not cross the pressure threshold for >15 seconds
AW
Warning = P does not cross the pressure threshold for >30 seconds
AW
In ManSpont, SIMV/PS with Freq <6, or Pressure Support with Apnea Ventilation ON:
Caution = P does not cross the pressure threshold for >30 seconds
AW
Warning = P does not cross the pressure threshold for >60 seconds
AW

Probable Cause
Upper alarm limit for airway
pressure has been exceeded,
ventilation hose is kinked.
Alarm limit has been set too
low.
1)
Breathing/ventilation stops.
Leak or disconnect in breath-
ing circuit.
2)
Breathing/ventilation stops.
Leak or disconnect in breath-
ing circuit.
Remedy
Check hose system on anes-
thesia workstation.
Check breathing circuit or
alarm limit value.
Check ventilator.
Check breathing circuit.
