Configuration Automatic Desflurane Compensation If Desflurane concentration data is communicated to the Fabius plus by an external agent analyzer, the following occurs: 1 Des auto appears in the status bar at the top of the screen 2 the »Des Comp On/Off« soft key label is remo- the Fabius plus will automatically perform the corresponding flow sensor compensation.
Select and confirm a new alarm volume value in the range of 1 (minimum) to 10 (maximum). The value is saved and the Alarm Volume Setting window is replaced by the Setup window. Instructions for Use Fabius plus SW 3.n...

Fault-Cause-Remedy Power Failure Backup When AC power is interrupted from the Fabius plus, the internal battery backup will provide full operation of the ventilator and internal monitors for up to two hours after the power interruption. The battery depletion rate depends upon ventilator set-...
Page 153
When the battery is completely discharged Fabius plus switches off. As a consequence all indi- vidual settings including alarm limits, which are not saved in the default settings, will be lost.
Fault-Cause-Remedy Ventilator Fail State If the Fabius plus does not recover from a »VENTILATOR FAIL!!!« condition: Switch to ManSpont mode by pressing the Man- Spont key and confirming the mode change by pressing the rotary knob. Set the APL valve to MAN position.
Page 155
If the diagnostic tests result in FUNCTIONAL, the Fabius plus will automatically switch to ManSpont mode if a fresh-gas flow is detected. Fabius plus respiratory monitoring is available. If the diagnostic tests result in NON-FUNCTIONAL, manual venti- lation is still possible but Fabius plus respiratory monitoring is not available.
Fault-Cause-Remedy Fault-Cause-Remedy The Fabius plus divides alarm messages into three categories based on priority. Exclamation marks indicate the priority. The alarm messages are dis- played on colored background if the option "Color display" is enabled: Warning (red) high priority Caution (yellow)
