Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Technical message
– Yellow LED (3 in Figure 111) illuminates
continuously without any acoustic tone.
– These messages must be noted and action
taken if necessary.
Dräger recommends the user to remain close to the
anesthesia machine, i.e. within a range of up to
12 feet (4 meters), to allow for quick recognition and
action in the event of an alarm.
Whenever an alarm message is displayed, the alarm
LED flashes or lights up continuously and an
acoustic tone sequence indicates the alarm priority
class.
In addition, a flashing help text is displayed in the
prompt field.
In the case of limit-based alarms, the corresponding
measured values will be highlighted by a colored
background (1 in Figure 111) and will flash.
The color of the background reflects the color-coding
of the alarm priority (red, yellow, cyan).
For a complete list of Apollo alarm messages, see
“Alarm - Cause - Remedy” on page 267.
Downgrading alarm priorities
Selected technical alarms can be downgraded to a
lower priority, or deleted completely once
acknowledged.
1. Press the > < key on the side of the monitor
screen (4 in Figure 111).
Setting the alarm volume

Alarms in Standby mode
Machine-related alarms, e.g. failure of equipment
components and a number of special operating
states, are indicated to the user in Standby mode. A
message is displayed in the alarm message field in
