Why it occurs
The patient’s respiratory rate is less than or equal to the low respiratory rate alarm setting.
Or, no breath has occurred for 15 seconds.
What to do
•
Check the circuit for kinked or pinched tubing.
•
Check the circuit for a leak or disconnect.
Note: A patient that is sleeping or medicated may breathe at a lower rate.

Why it occurs
The alarm will sound if the measured patient pressure exceeds the high inspiratory pressure alarm
setting.
Occurs in stages, escalating from an audible single beep for the first two occurrences to an audible
medium priority on the third occurrence, and then to a high priority alarm if the condition continues.
Occurrences must be consecutive.
What to do
•
Check the patient status
•
Check the ventilator for the following potential causes for this alarm:
