4.8.13 APNEA BACK-UP

Apnea BACK-UP is a safety function available in three of the operating modes:
PSV, PSV-TV and CPAP.
The Apnea BACK-UP function activates if the patient, ventilated in one of the
modes above, stops breathing.
After a pre-set time (Apnea Time) in the MAIN MENU - SETUP, will appear the
relative alarms and the system automatically starts ventilating the patient in APCV
operative mode.
4-36
WARNING !! Patient injury hazard
When the lung ventilator switches to this safety mode automatically,
the clinician CANNOT edit the ventilation parameters.
The lung ventilator continues its activity and the clinician
acknowledges the emergency condition.
When the Apnea BACK-UP function activates, the ventilation
parameters used are those set based on the selected operating
mode.
WARNING !! Patient injury hazard
During the Apnea BACK-UP activation (in APCV ventilation), if you
push the ALARM RESET button only the acoustic alarm is silenced.
Then, the system will come back to initial ventilation conditions
(operating modes, PSV, PSV-TV or CPAP) only when the patient
will be able to breath spontaneously.
