Alarms- General

Several measures have been taken to design
this system for safe treatment and use.
The alarms are based on three priority levels;
High, Medium and Low.

High priority alarms

These alarms are warnings and are indicated
by a red background. They are latched, i.e.
the visual indication remains even though the
alarm condition ceases.The background
color switches to yellow if the alarm
condition returns to normal. Latched alarms
require manual resetting.
Note: NIV alarm Leakage out of range is not
latched.
For more information about the high
priority alarms see page 226.

Medium priority alarms

These alarms are advisory. They may be
reset (cleared) even though the alarm
condition remains.
For more information about the medium
priority alarms see page 231.

Low priority alarms

These alarms are cautionary and are
indicated by a yellow background.
For more information about the low
priority alarms see page 234.

Alarm output connection
option
An Alarm output connection option makes it
possible to connect the ventilator to an
external alarm signal system. High and
medium priority alarms are transferred. The
alarm output signal is active as long as the
audio alarm is active on the ventilator.
Importants:
• It is required that the patient is never left
unattended and that external alarm is used
only to draw extra attention to a patient.
• The alarm output is a non-guaranteed
alarm according to IEC 60601-1-8 and it is
recommended that the user establish a
pre-use check routine for this application.
