Bypass mode
Figure 119. Bypass Mode IndicationThe bypass mode permits patient monitoring without
unnecessary alarms during extra-corporal
oxygenation of the patient by a heart lung machine.
In the bypass mode:
– All gas concentrations are measured
independently of the breathing phase.
–CO
2 apnea and pressure apnea alarms are
inactive.
–SpO
2 monitoring alarms are inactive.
– The “MAC LOW?” alarm is inactive.
– MV alarms and flow apnea monitoring can be
configured (see page 209).
The bypass mode can be used in all active
ventilation modes.
Enabling/disabling bypass mode
1. Press the >Config< key (1 in Figure 117) on the
standard or data screen.
The submenu volumes/Alarms is opened (refer to
Figure 119).
2. Select and confirm the column “Alarms On/Off”
via the rotary knob.
3. Select and confirm the line “Bypass Mode” via
the rotary knob.
4. Select and confirm “On” or “Off” via the rotary
knob.
5. The bypass mode can also be deactivated by
pressing the button “Exit mode Bypass”.
The bypass mode remains activated when changing
ventilation modes; it is deactivated when changing to
Standby.
Deactivating the bypass mode immediately
reactivates the CO
2 alarms and pressure apnea
alarm, but SpO
2 measurement (optional) is only
reactivated when pulse signals have been detected
again.
Deactivating the bypass mode has no effect on the
“On” or “Off” status of SpO
2 measurement; the last
status set is retained.
