Possible Reason(s) For The Alarm Event
Internal ambient temperature of the device
out of the tolerance ranges.
Defective internal temperature probe or any
other technical anomaly.
Battery temperature out of the
tolerance ranges.
Defective internal temperature probe or any
other technical anomaly inside the battery.
The LEAK estimated by the ventilator
exceeds the Max LEAK alarm threshold.
Corrective Action(s)
Note: Ensure that you are operating the
ventilator within the proper temperature
range (refer to Appendix A,
"Specifications").
Put the device in a warmer environment (if
the ambient temperature is too low) or in a
cooler environment (if the ambient
temperature is too high). For example,
ensure the ventilator is not in direct sunlight
or next to an air conditioning vent.
In case of operation in a high ambient
temperature, handle the ventilator with
care; some portions of the device may have
high surface temperatures.
In the case of high ambient temperatures, it
may take a significant period of time to cool
the internal temperature of the ventilator to
the proper operating range. To avoid injury
to the patient, ensure that the air inspired
by the patient does not exceed 41 °C
(106 °F). If in doubt, replace the ventilator.
Replace the ventilator and call your
customer service representative.
Note: Ensure that ventilator is being used
according to the operating instructions
found in Appendix A, "Specifications".
If the ambient temperature is too low, place
the device in a warmer environment.
If the ambient temperature is too high,
place the ventilator in a cooler environment.
For example, ensure the ventilator is not in
direct sunlight or next to an air conditioning
vent. The temperature fault alarm does not
interfere with the operation of the
ventilator.
In case of operation in a high ambient
temperature, handle the ventilator with
care; some portions of the device may have
high surface temperatures.
Restart ventilator to see if alarm clears. if
the alarm message persists, please contact
technical services.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to charge a
defective battery; such a battery cannot be
charged.
Readjust mask to reduce leakage or
Increase the alarm settings.
