milliseconds with following conditions:
Upper alarm limit of pressure:
• A breath in the range of the upper limit will reset the delay of 5 seconds.
• nCPAP: with a delay of 3000 milliseconds in case of a manual or mechanic breath ->
pressure will be checked against upper limit, if the pressure is still above the limit
after 5 seconds the alarm will be signaled, otherwise it is cleared
