Figure 8-15: Setting Alarm Limits That Are Currently Active
The High Pressure Alarm Setting may be accessed through the Alarms Settings
Screen or through the HIP Indicator adjacent to the manometer in the PCV and
VCV Settings, Alarm Settings, Patient Data, and Monitor Screens.
Follow these steps to adjust alarm limits that are not currently active:
1. Depending on the alarm limits you wish to review, push the VCV
SETTINGS, PCV SETTINGS, or NPPV SETTINGS button that has a
gray background and black letters (not active).
WARNING: For patient safety the HIP Limit Setting should be set as close to the peak
inspiratory pressure as patient conditions allow.
CAUTION: If clinical conditions do not require setting the HIP Limit above 60
cmH
2
O, we recommend the setting normally be adjusted to 60 cmH
2
O
or less in order to prolong the operating life of the blower and to
maximize backup battery run time.
NOTE: When the active mode is set to NPPV, the HIP Limit Setting will
automatically be adjusted to 10 cmH
2
O above the current IPAP setting.
