	Alarm Alert Messages (Continued)
Alert Message	Description
Low Insp Pressure	If the peak airway pressure during any mandatory inhalation
	is less than the Low Insp Pressure limit, the ventilator will
	immediately signal a high priority alarm.
	Note: If an inspiration is triggered immediately after the
	mandatory minimum exhalation time of 200 msec, this
	alarm will not be activated unless this condition occurs for
	three consecutive breaths.
Low Minute Volume	Indicates the measured patient minute ventilation (VE) is
	below the set limit. It is elevated to high urgency after one
	minute.
	Note: A Low Minute Volume setting of zero (0) will disable
	this alarm.
Low O2	A high urgency alarm indicates that the monitored O2
	concentration is 18% or at least 6% below set value for 30
	seconds. Verify operation of the O2 sensor. Alarm cannot be
	manually reset.
Low O2 Supply	A high urgency alarm indicates that O2 gas supply is below
	acceptable levels and the %O2 setting is above 21%. Check
	O2 gas connections and inlet filter. Alarm cannot be
	manually reset.
Low PEEP	If PEEP is less than the operator set Low PEEP limit for one
	second during exhalation, triggers a medium priority alarm.
	If the Low PEEP alarm remains active for one minute, the
	alarm moves to high priority.
	Note: A Low PEEP setting of zero (0) will disable this alarm.
	Note: If an inspiration is triggered immediately after the
	mandatory minimum exhalation time of 200 msec, this
	alarm will not be activated unless this condition occurs for
	three consecutive breaths.
Low Tidal Volume	The ventilator triggers a medium urgency alarm to indicate
	that the NPPV (mandatory or spontaneous breath) tidal
	volume is less than the set limit. It is elevated to a high
	urgency alarm after one minute.
	Note: A Low Tidal Volume setting of zero (0) will disable this
	alarm.
