Volumes/Alarms
Figure 140. Volumes/Alarms Configuration ScreenThe following settings can be selected in the
Volumes/Alarms configuration screen
(refer to Figure 140).
Alarm volume
4 = minimum volume (>45 dB(A))
to
9 = maximum volume (<75 dB(A))
The NO O
2 SUPPLY alarm is always announced at
the maximum volume.
Apollo takes into account the national regulations of
certain countries which require a minimum volume of
45 dB (A). Settings 1 to 3 are not available for these
countries. The minimum volume can be adjusted in
the default settings.
Breathing sound
0 = off
to
9 = maximum volume
The breathing sound is produced by the Breathing
Sound Emulator (BSE) module. This module
converts the measured inspiratory and expiratory
flow values into audible sounds similar to a breathing
sound.
The sound volume depends on the set patient age.
This dependency allows optimal volume at all flow
levels.
All alarms are still audible with the breathing sound
volume set to the maximum.
WARNING!
Risk of use error
If using features like the ’breathing sound’ or
when operating under loud ambient conditions,
the auditory alarm signals may not be heard.
Always set the alarm tone to a sufficiently loud
volume.
