12 Troubleshooting and alarms
Description
Thopaz + distinguishes between warnings (yellow), alarms (red) and internal errors (red)�
If Thopaz + detects any of these situations, an acoustic signal sounds and a description of the
problem appears on the display� By pressing the two selection buttons simultaneously, the
acoustic alarms are suppressed for 60 seconds� Exceptions: For the warning 306 "canister full"
and the alarms 302 "tubing clogged", 313 "filter clogged" and 315 "Thopaz + overheated"
the acoustic alarms are suppressed for 5 minutes�
Alarms do not replace the need of regular monitoring of the patient� Leakage alarm may not be
triggered and therefore the device does not alert in case of disconnection of the Thopaz tubing in
the following situations
– set pressures below 0�4 kPa
– disconnection with the small double connector (079�0024)
Example:
