Alarm Volume Control
Under the left hand bottom edge of the front panel is a partially exposed round
control that enables you to control the volume of audible alarms (Figure 9-3).
Figure 9-3: Alarm Volume Control
The volume control can be adjusted between a minimum and maximum setting
to suit the particular clinical situation.
Alert Messages When the ventilator detects an alarm condition, it presents an Alert insert
below the Patient Data box in the middle of the screen.
While the alarm is active (i.e. visual and audible alarms are still present), the
message in the Alert insert appears in bold-faced type. Once the alarm
condition has been corrected, the message automatically switches to regular
face type. Pressing ALARM RESET clears alarm messages.
When the operator presses the ALARM RESET button (described above), the
alarm messages disappear from the alert window.
When the ventilator detects more than three alarm conditions, the three
highest priority alert messages will be displayed.
Alert messages, along with the corresponding alarm descriptions, are listed in
Table 9-1: “Alarm Alert Messages”.
