Why it occurs
During the expiratory phase, the delivered pressure is 5 cmH
2
O or more below the target patient
pressure.
What to do
•
Check the circuit for a leak or disconnect.
•
Check the circuit for kinked, pinched, or blocked tubing.

Algorithm
summary
The machine assigns a minimum pressure threshold for oxygen based on the flow setting to support
the FiO
2
set point. The following table illustrates the threshold based on flow. The alarm occurs when
the inlet pressure is less than or equal to 5psig or the Inlet Pressure value from the table for six
consecutive breaths.
