INTRODUCTION
In this section you will learn how to:
 Quickly respond to iVent
TM
201 alarms
 Determine and select optimal alarm settings
 Set alarm parameters and perform troubleshooting
 Perform Alarm tests
 The iVent
TM
201 operates when the sensor disconnect alarm is activated or
when it senses patient disconnection
HOW ALARMS WORK
As soon as the iVent
TM
201 detects an alarm condition, it sounds an alert and
displays a pop-up window on the LCD screen. After the alarm is minimized using
the Silence or Clear key, it is minimized to the bottom left of the screen. In that
position it performs the following:
 Appears red as long as the alarm condition persists
 Turns green if the alarm condition resolves itself without user intervention
RESPONDING TO AN ALARM
To silence an alarm:
1. Rectify the condition which causes the alarm. This stops the alarm
sound and minimizes the pop-up alarm. The minimized alarm appears in
red with a brief text message describing the alarm condition (Figure 131).
