Chapter 6 Ventilator Alarms
99
This chapter describes the ventilator alarms and what you should do
if an alarm occurs.
There are three types of alarms:

•High Priority – Require immediate response by the

operator

•Medium Priority – Require prompt response by the

operator

•Low Priority – Require operator awareness. These alarms

alert you to a change in the ventilator status.
Additionally, the ventilator also displays informational messages and
conrmation alerts that notify you of conditions that need attention
but do not qualify as alarm conditions.
Note: If multiple alarms occur
at the same time, all alarms are
processed and displayed, but
the alarms are ordered rst by
priority and then by occurrence,
with the newest, highest priority
alarms at the top of the list.
The alarm precedence is in the
following order: high priority,
medium priority, low priority,
and informational messages.
Note: Not all alarms are
available in every therapy
mode; some alarms are mode-
dependent.
