Symptoms

Alarm is activated patient safety

Alarm light flashes and/or audible alarm sounds; control panel indicators show blink/flash pattern

Ranked causes

1. Pressure variance > 2 mmHg for >15 minutes (air leak or kinked hose) (common)
2. Pressure variance persists >30 minutes (SPR Plus only) (occasional)
3. Pressure exceeds 40 mmHg for 30 seconds (occasional)
4. Stuck button condition (occasional)
5. System error (all lights flashing) (rare)

First check

Verify hose connection at both ends

Test point: Hose connectors (inlet and outlet)
Expected: Hose fully seated and hand-tight at both connectors
