ALARMS

The myAIRVO 2 has visual and auditory alarms to warn you about interruptions to your treatment. These
alarms are generated by an intelligent alarm system, which processes information from the sensors and
target settings of the unit and compares this information to pre-programmed limits.

ALARM SIGNALS

Visual alarm signal
(message)
Auditory alarm signal
3 beeps in 3 seconds.
Repeated every 5 seconds.

ALARM CONDITIONS

All of the alarms listed below have been assessed as "Medium Priority". These priorities have been
allocated for an operator's position within 1 meter of the device. The unit also uses an internal priority-
ranking system. If multiple alarm conditions occur simultaneously, the unit will display the highest-priority
alarm.
The following table lists all of the alarm conditions from highest-priority to lowest priority, their causes,
possible solutions and delays. Alarm conditions that affect oxygen delivery require an immediate response
to assess the patient's saturation levels. Alarm conditions that affect humidity delivery require a prompt
response to assess potential drying of mucus and associated blockages.
The following alarm delays assume operation in 'Ready for use' mode.
Message
Fault
The unit has detected an internal fault and has shut itself down.
(E###)
Switch the unit off and then restart. If the problem persists, note the fault
code and contact your Fisher & Paykel Healthcare representative.

not been pushed into place correctly.
Check that the heated breathing tube is not damaged and that it is plugged
in correctly.
Check that the nasal interface is fitted.
Check that the filter is fitted.
Check for The unit has detected a blockage in the system.
blockages
Check the heated breathing tube or patient interface for blockage.
Check the air filter and filter holder for blockage.
Check whether the unit should be in Junior Mode. If the patient will be
using an Optiflow Junior nasal cannula (OPT316/OPT318), you must activate
Junior Mode.
O too low The measured oxygen level has fallen below the allowed limit.
2
Check that the oxygen source is still operational and is correctly connected.
Adjust the level of oxygen from the oxygen source as necessary.
O too high The measured oxygen level has exceeded the allowed limit.
2
Check that the myAIRVO flow rate is set correctly.
Adjust the level of oxygen from the oxygen source as necessary.
Check The unit has detected that it is operating in unsuitable ambient conditions.
This alarm may be caused by a sudden change in ambient conditions.
