Issue Why It Happened What To Do
Dryness
The patient has throat or
nose dryness.
The air is too dry. This only
applies to non-invasive
therapy and will not occur
during invasive therapy.
Increase the room humidity.
Consult with the patient’s health
care professional about using
a humidier with the device. If
using a humidier, refer to the
instructions included with the
humidier to make sure it is
working properly.
Sinus or Ear Pain
The patient experiences
nasal, sinus, or ear pain.
The patient may have a sinus
or middle ear infection. This
only applies to non-invasive
therapy and will not occur
during invasive therapy.
Tell the patient to stop using the
device and contact their health
care professional.
Patient Tubing Condensation
There is condensation in the
circuit tubing or exhalation
valve lines.
Moisture added to the circuit
from a heated humidier may
condense. This condensation is
typically referred to as “rain-out.”
Use an appropriate method of
water management, such as a
water trap when using a heated
humidier.
Exhalation Valve or Flow
Tube Condensation (Active
Flow Circuit only)
There is condensation
in the proximal ow or
exhalation valve lines, and
the condensation is causing
the system to alarm or not
properly trigger on patient
eort.
Excessive humidity (from
the heated humidier, the
patient, or the cleaning
process) condensed in the
tubing or exhalation valve
diaphragm. Droplets of
water aected the ability of
the ventilator to measure
proximal patient ow and
pressure and trigger on a
patient breath.
Remove tube(s) with
condensation: the exhalation
valve line must be removed from
both ends of the circuit; the ow
tube lines must be removed
from the ventilator side. The
tubes are permanently attached
to the ow element, so the ow
element must be removed from
the patient circuit. If there is
water built up in the exhalation
diaphragm, disassemble the
exhalation valve and clean/dry
the assembly. Clear the ow
tubes of water droplets using
a low ow air source and re-
assemble the circuit.
