Attention Warning Icon: Identifies the severity of the alarm: Low, Medium, orHigh priority.Alarm PrioritiesAlarm priorities define the operational state of the device regarding it ability to providemechanical ventilation. The alarm priority determines what effect pressing theMUTE/CANCEL button will have. There are three priorities:• High Priority: Mechanical ventilation under operator control is no longer possible. Thisalarm category requires immediate intervention by the operator. This includes system failurealarms where the CPU has failed and a backup has taken over to sound the audible andvisual alarms. It also includes when the device is turned on and there is no internal orexternal power source. Pressing the MUTE/CANCEL button has no affect on the HighPriority alarm. The alarm can only be silenced by turning off the ventilator.• Medium Priority: Mechanical ventilation is active or is possible (maybe for a finite periodof time), but there is a failure/fault with the patient, ventilator circuit, a pneumaticsubsystem, or pulse oximeter. This alarm category requires immediate intervention by theoperator. Pressing the MUTE/CANCEL button mutes Medium Priority alarms for 30seconds. If after 30 seconds the alarm-causing condition still exists, the audible alarm willrecur until it is muted again for another 30 second period or resolves.• Low Priority (Advisory): Safe mechanical ventilation is active, but there is a fault that theoperator must be aware of to ensure safe management of the patient and/or ventilator. LowPriority alarms present with both an audible and yellow LED alarm signal alerting theoperator 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 the operator ofthe fault or failure. Some Low Priority alarms may be canceled to avoid nuisance alarms. |
