•INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE SUPPORT ALARM
Is triggered if for 3 breaths in a row the maximum mask pressure achieved at inspiratory to expiratory transition is either <87.5% of the absolute mask pressure targetted at that point, or < absolute mask pressure targetted minus 1 cmH2O, whichever is the lower.
•HIGH LEAK ALARM
Leak exceeds 30 L/min for more than 20 seconds.
•FLOW BLOCKED ALARM
Flow is less than 6 L/min for more than 20 seconds.
