Vent Inop

Red (active)

The ventilator is not capable of supporting 
mechanical ventilation and requires service. 
During Vent Inop, the ventilator opens the safety 
valve to enable the patient to breathe room air 
spontaneously. The ventilator also discontinues 
detection of new alarm conditions during Vent 
Inop.

Safety Valve

Red (active)

The safety valve is open and the ventilator is not in 
operation. This is a high priority alarm condition. 
When the Safety Valve indicator is illuminated, the 
ventilator is not providing ventilatory support to 
the patient. The safety valve opens to allow the 
patient to breathe spontaneously through the 
ventilator circuit. The patient must be capable of 
creating a spontaneous breath in order to breathe 
through the safety valve.
