10 Alarms and faults
116 EN MEDUVENT Standard
Alarms are shown in the alarm line of the display in the form of
text. The text is displayed with a particular background color as
a function of alarm priority:
Alarm color Priority
Red High priority
Yellow Medium priority
Turquoise Low priority
If more than one alarm is active, the device handles this as follows:
• Several alarms of different priorities: The device displays the
alarm with the highest priority. Alarms with a lower priority do
not appear until the higher-priority alarm is no longer active.
• Multiple alarms of identical priorities: The device displays the
alarms in rotation.
• Technical alarms predominate. They cannot be muted.
Technical alarms are generated if no ventilation by the device
is possible.
Meaning
High-priority alarms warn of imminent
fatal or irreversible patient injuries or
of device faults.
Medium-priority alarms warn of
immediate reversible patient injuries
or of minor device faults.
Low-priority alarms warn of delayed
minor injuries or inconvenience to
the patient or minor restrictions on
the device.
