Low PEEP Alarm (or Low EPAP in Bi-Level Mode) Troubleshooting

Low PEEP (or Low EPAP in Bi-Level Mode) activates when the monitored PEEP falls 5 cmH2O below the set PEEP control for 3 consecutive breaths.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot this alarm:

1. Check the VOCSN Leak monitor. If it is high, locate and resolve any unintentional leaks in the patient circuit (and around the patient interface).
2. Run a Pre-Use Test.
3. If the alarm continues, replace the patient circuit.
