Mute/Reset button or the system will automatically exit the mode and

resume normal operation after 20 minutes. While in Standby Mode the

system will operate normally with all audible alarms muted, with the

exception of High Pressure and Low Flow. To indicate that the system is in

Standby Mode, the Message Bar will display "Standby Mode" and the Alarm

Mute Leeds will flash. There will also be a single audible burst every two (2)

minutes while in Standby Mode. The driver will exit Standby Mode

automatically if a High Pressure or Low Flow alarm occurs.

Air or Oxygen Only Mode

While switching Air and Oxygen supply hoses from one source to another

(e.g. switching from tanks to wall sources), change one source at a time.

This will help prevent interruptions in fresh gas flow to the patient. The

AirLife

nCPAP System Driver may be used with a single gas source if one

gas source goes outside of the specified range (e.g. running out of gas)

during normal operation. During such an event, the Driver will alarm and

display the source fault in the Message Bar. In the absence of one gas

source, the patient can only receive air (FiO

100%). If the fault cannot be corrected immediately, then the user may

select "Air Only" or "Oxygen Only" operation in order to mute the alarm while

the faulty gas source is corrected. When the faulty source pressure is

corrected, the system will automatically return to normal operation (alarms

will be delayed for 20 seconds) and blend gases to the previous set FiO

value.
