Alarm limit setup

Use the volume alarms key to turn the volume alarms on and off.
When the alarms are off, an X covers the alarm limits. Use this control
during manual ventilation when constant attention is on the patient.
Use the End case key to minimize alarms between cases. The alarms
will reactivate when two or more breaths are detected within 30
seconds.
Do not turn off volume alarms for a spontaneously
breathing patient. The system will not alarm for low
volume.
To set or change alarm limits:
1. Push the Menu key.
2. Select Alarm Setup from the Main Menu.
