WARNING
Do not rely exclusively on the nurse call system for alarm notification. Remember
that the most reliable alarm notification combines audible and visual alarm
indications with the patient’s clinical condition.
Use the specified nurse call cable when connecting with the hospital’s nurse call
system through the nurse call connection port. Failure to do so may burn the
machine and produce electric shock hazard.
Inspect the ventilator alarm signals periodically when using the nurse call function.
10.12 When an Alarm Occurs
When an alarm occurs, do as follows:
1. Check the patient’s condition.
2. Determine the alarming parameter or alarm category.
3. Identify the alarm source.
4. Take proper actions to eliminate the alarm condition.
5. Make sure the alarm condition is corrected.
For details about how to troubleshoot alarms, refer to D Alarm Messages.
WARNING
To prevent possible patient injury when alarms are active, ensure that the patient
receives adequate ventilation. Identify and remove the cause of the alarms.
Readjust the alarm limits only when they are inappropriately set for the current
conditions.
CAUTION
Contact the Customer Service Department if the alarm persists without obvious
cause.
