10.1 General instructions

212 EN MEDUMAT Standard
The device's alarm system is based on the concept of self-
preserving alarms. The device emits an alarm for as long as the
cause continues to exist. Once the cause of the alarm no longer
exists, the device no longer emits the alarm.
The device emits physiological and technical alarms. Every alarm
has a certain priority.

Priority
alarm line
High priority Red
Medium priority Yellow
Low priority Turquoise
If more than one alarm is active, the device handles this as follows:
• Multiple 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not appear until the higher-priority alarm is no longer active.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 alternately.
• Technical alarms dominate and cannot be muted. Technical
alarms occur if ventilation is not possible with the device (e.g.,
in the event of a device fault, a supply pressure < 2.7 bar).

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.
