Re: CODE FOR AIRWAY PRESSURE ALARMS


 

Jack Purdum pointed out the specifications' alarms won't fit on a 16x2 monitor -- so let me adjust them here:
From the CSSALT Specification page: (see:? ?



Alarms:

  • Patient Disconnect
    • Condition: pressure does not rise above 3 cmH2O during inspiration
    • Audible alarm and UI text ¡°LOW AIRWAY PRESSURE¡±? [16 Char:? LOW AIRWAY PRES!? ?(16 characters)
  • High inspiratory airway pressure
    • Condition: airway pressure above alarm setting during inspiration
    • Adjustable range: 15- 60 cmH2O, increments of 5 cmH2O
    • Default setting: 35 cmH2O
    • Audible alarm and UI text ¡°OVER-PRESSURE ALARM¡±? ?[16 char:? OVER PRES ALARM!? ?(16 characters)
    • Controller feedback:
      • Inspiratory solenoid valve closes to stop inspiratory flow
      • Exhalation valve opens (if controlled by solenoid)? (it isn't)?
    • TV High/Low

      • Audible alarm and UI text:
        • ¡°TV HIGH¡± Condition: measured TV exceeds high TV alarm setting
        • ¡°SET TV NOT DELIVERED¡± Condition: measured TV less than low TV alarm setting? [16 Char:? ?SET TV NOT DELIV
        • ¡°LOW VT, IT SHORTENED¡± Condition: Inspiration Time (IT) is shortened by reaching high inspiratory airway pressure limit and measured TV less than low TV alarm setting? ?[16 Char:? ?LOW VT/IT SHORT
      • MV (Minute ventilation) High/Low (Optional):
        • Adjustable range: 2 L- 15 L, increments of 1 L
        • Default low setting: 4 L; Default high setting: 8 L
        • ¡°MV HIGH¡± Condition: MV greater than high MV alarm setting
        • ¡°MV LOW¡± Condition: MV less than low MV alarm setting
      • Gas pipeline failure (Optional)
        • Condition: no supply pressure detected
        • Audible alarm and UI text ¡°GAS SUPPLY FAILURE¡±? [16 Char:? GAS SUPPLY FAIL!? ?(16 char) ]?
      • Electricity supply failure (Optional)
        • Condition: ventilator unplugged from wall mains
        • Audible alarm and UI text ¡°ELECTRIC SUPPLY FAIL¡±? [16 Char:? ?ELECT SUPP FAIL!? (16 char)??
      • Machine switched off when in mandatory ventilation mode (¡°Rapidly manufactured ventilator system specification¡±, 2020)"
      • ? 16 Char:? "VENT TURNED OFF!"??
      • If multiple alarms simultaneously present and display has one line of text for alarms, display line will toggle through all alarms at one second intervals
