8.7.2 System alarms and those that cannot be set by the operator

Apnoea
MORPHEUS
This is a high priority alarm activated after a delay time of 0
sec. from the moment the mains power supply is
disconnected.
It is indicated by an acoustic and a visual signal. It can be
silenced (suspended) for 120 s and inhibited. The internal part
of the electrical power symbol changes from steady green to
flashing red.
It can be silenced (see procedure for inhibiting the power
supply failure alarm – cfr 8.5).
Alarms are active and present in function of the type and
model of the gas sensor which has been used.
These alarms indicate the overcoming of the higher (lower)
limit of the specifically parameter in all the operative modes
used by the ventilator.
These are high priority alarms activated when is reached the
alarm level.
An acoustic indicator and a flashing strings in the alarm zone,
as visual signal, are provided. The sound can be silenced and
suspended for 30 s; the inhibition is not foreseen.
The APNEA BACKUP alarm condition is activated in PSV and
SIMV+PS / SPONT modality, in case of absence of patient
inspiratory demand (RATE=0) within a preset time interval
(apnoea time which can be set from 5 to 60 seconds).
After such time the device provides a ventilation according to
the operative mode type with a rate equal to the set safety one
(RR bk).
Such alarm is present only in PSV and SIMV+PS / SPONT
modalities, because in other assisted modalities a minimum rate
is guaranteed.
It is an high priority acoustic and visual alarm, which can be
silenced (suspended) for the same preset time (apnoea time
which can be set from 5 to 60 seconds); the alarm inhibition is
not foreseen.
