Alarm types for the Remote Alarm
Different types of alarms can be generated on the Remote
Alarm. All alarms are indicated by an audible and visual signal.
Ventilator alarms
The Remote Alarm's main purpose is to relay alarm conditions
on the ventilator. The ventilator alarms on the Remote Alarm
alert the caregiver that an alarm has been triggered by the
Ventilator and therefore must be addressed on the Ventilator
itself, not by interacting with the Remote Alarm unit.
When a ventilator alarm is activated:
1. Check the patient's status.
2. View the alarm message in the Alarm display on the Ventilation
device.
3. Follow the on-screen help (if available) or refer to the Alarm
Troubleshooting section in the User Guide that came with your
Ventilation device.
