Flow apnea alarms in bypass mode
In the standby configuration, MV alarms and flow
apnea alarms can be configured to be inactive in
bypass mode (see page 211). When leaving bypass
mode, MV alarm limits and flow apnea alarms are
activated again:
– If the MV alarm limits have been changed during
bypass mode, these settings are kept.
– If the MV alarm limits have not been changed
during bypass mode, the original settings are
restored.
Displaying and setting alarm limits
Figure 120. Alarm Limits MenuAlarms can be displayed and set from all three basic
screens (standard, data, and trend screens) during
operation.
There are standard alarm limits configured for the
ventilation modes which may be used as is, see
“Configuring the default settings in Standby” on
page 201 or adjusted individually for the patient
concerned.
For this purpose, the alarm limits menu can be
selected in Standby via the button >Alarm Limits<.

(1 in Figure 120).
When the alarm limits menu appears, the standard
screen is automatically displayed, regardless of
which screen was displayed previously. The alarm
limits menu is displayed on the right side of the
screen next to the curves (2 in Figure 120). The
menu lists the parameters, their current measured
values, and the current low and high alarm limits. The
alarm limits also appear on the curves as dashed
lines (3 in Figure 120).
CAUTION!
