Alarm Priorities

Alarm priorities define the operational status of the device and its ability to provide suction. The
alarm priorities are as follows:

High Priority

Ability to provide vacuum is no longer possible. This alarm priority requires immediate
intervention. This includes system failure alarms where the CPU has failed and a backup has
taken over to sound the audible and visual alarms. These alarms also include when the device
is turned on and there is no internal or external power source.
When triggered, these alarms present an audible tone and the LED array is red. Pressing the
Mute/Cancel button has no effect on a high priority alarm. Silencing the alarm is only
accomplished by turning the aspirator off.

Medium Priority

Operation is possible (maybe for a finite period of time) but, there is a failure or fault with the
ability to provide vacuum, pneumatic subsystem, power, or environmental condition. This
alarm priority requires your immediate intervention.
When triggered, these alarms present an audible tone and the LED array is red. It is
distinguished from the high priority alarm by a slower pulse tones and LED flash rate. Pressing
the Mute/Cancel button mutes medium priority alarms for 30 seconds. If the alarm trigger still
exists after 30 seconds, the audible alarm sounds again.

Low Priority (Advisory)

The device is operating but there is a fault that you must be aware of to ensure safe
management of the patient or device.
Low priority alarms sound an audible tone and display yellow LED alarm signal alerting you to
the condition. Pressing the Mute/Cancel button cancels the audible signal. If the alarm is not
resolved, the yellow LED remains illuminated to remind you of the fault or failure.

operator identify the specific alarm when communicating with

Some low priority alarms are canceled and the Alarm LED turns green when you push

stay yellow to remind you that the device is operating in a state that needs careful
monitoring.
