Flow-Trak Affected Alarms
Alert Message Description
I-Time too long The breath transitions from inhalation to exhalation when 3.5
seconds has passed for adults or 2.5 seconds for pediatrics from
the start of the mandatory breath. If the operator’s settings result
in a calculated I-Time > 3.5 seconds for adults or 2.5 seconds for
pediatrics, then the calculated I-Time is the cycling criteria.
Low Inspiratory Pressure Not available for the Flow-Trak triggered breath only.
