The Alarms; Alarms Troubleshooting - ResMed VPAP III ST-A Manuel Utilisateur

The Alarms

The VPAP III ST-A unit is fitted with alarms to alert you to changes that will affect
your treatment.
Alarm Mute Key
You can mute an alarm by pressing the Alarm Mute key once. If the problem is
still present, the alarm will sound again after two minutes. An alarm LED will
remain lit for as long as the problem is present.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm, hold down the Alarm Mute key for three seconds. On release
of the Alarm Mute key, the alarm should sound and the LED should flash for 10
seconds and then stop. ResMed recommends testing the alarm each week.
All menus remain available during an alarm. Treatment screens are not viewable
during an alarm condition.

Alarms Troubleshooting

The most common reason for an alarm to sound is because the system has not
been properly assembled. Check that the air tubing has been properly attached
to the flow generator and mask (and humidifier if used).
When an alarm has been activated, the bottom line of the LCD screen will display
either alarm information or recommended instructions for you or your clinician.
Note: The alarm actions listed below are based on having the appropriate alarm
settings for your therapy. When an alarm is activated, confirm the alarm
settings with your clinician.
CAUTION
!
In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.
