System Fault Alarm Troubleshooting

System Fault activates if VOCSN detects any one of multiple system fault conditions. Depending on the System Fault condition, some therapies may be suspended or terminated.

Follow this step to troubleshoot this alarm:

• Use the Event Log to determine the System Fault number. Some System Fault conditions require providing the patient with backup therapy, while others may be resolved by following the recommended actions described below.

Recommended actions by System Fault number:

System Fault 3: Ventilation, Oxygen, Suction, and Nebulizer therapies continue functioning normally.
Try Cough therapy again. If the problem persists, contact Ventec Life Systems for service (see below).

System Fault 4: Do not use Suction therapy on the patient. With the suction tubing away from the patient, start suction therapy and occlude the end of the Suction tubing. If the Suction therapy Vacuum monitor is higher than the Vacuum setting, use backup suction equipment and contact Ventec Life Systems for service (see below).

System Fault 6: Do not use Oxygen, Cough, Suction, or Nebulizer therapy on the patient. Provide the patient with backup therapies if necessary.Contact Ventec Life Systems for service (see below).
