Disconnection Alarm

CAUTION!
No single alarm can reliably detect all disconnections due to the number of possible
combinations of therapy settings, circuit configurations and patient interfaces. To ver-
ify that patient disconnection can be detected, including if the patient interface
becomes accidentally detached from the patient, it is advised to test the functionality
of the Disconnection Alarm upfront with the complete set-up as used during treat-
ment, including items such as filters, circuit, connectors, interface (mask, cannula etc.)
