Disconnect sensitivity setting Ventilator alarm

Disconnect sensitivity VFr Vent alarm

Definition

  • From the Puritan Bennett 840 Operator's and Technical Reference Manual: The DSENS setting defines the percentage of returned volume lost, above which the ventilator declares a CIRCUIT DISCONNECT alarm. When DSENS is set to its lowest value (20%), it has the highest sensitivity for detecting a disconnect or leak. When DSENS is set to its highest value (95%), the ventilator has the least sensitivity for detecting a circuit disconnection, as greater than 95% of the returned volume must be lost before the alarm occurs.
