The Remote Alarm enables care providers and clinical personnel to monitor the ventila-
tor alarms remotely. The Remote Alarm forwards alarms from the ventilator. When an
alarm sounds, the care provider or clinical personnel must attend to the patient quickly.
When installing a remote alarm system, check that it operates as intended before starting
the treatment.
5.7.5 Using the ventilator with the EtCO
2
Sensor
The EtCO
2
sensor can be connected to the patient breathing circuit and to a Vivo 45 in
order to monitor and store CO
2
measurements. The CO
2
measurements will be stored
in the ventilator data memory which can be downloaded to a PC and viewed in the
ventilator PC software.
More information about safety, warnings, product description, installation, usage,
cleaning, maintenance and technical specifications can be found in the user instruc-
tion for the EtCO
2
sensor.
