High Minute Volume Alarm Troubleshooting

High Minute Volume activates when the monitored Minute Volume is larger than the set High Minute Volume alarm limit.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot this alarm:

1. Ensure the alarm is set appropriately for the patient Breath Rate plus spontaneous rate.
2. Check to see if the monitored Breath Rate is high. If so:
1. Check for auto-triggering and adjust the Flow Trigger control setting if needed. 
2. If you are using an active Ventec One-Circuit and humidifier, clear any condensation from the active exhalation valve.
