LEAKS

When the therapy unit detects a significant leak, a visual and audible leak alarm will activate (See Alarms
section).
During a leak condition, a solid yellow LED above the leak symbol will turn on. The system will sound
two beeps repeating every 15 seconds. The yellow LED will remain solid until the leak condition has
been corrected, at which time it will turn off. The therapy unit will continue the alarm until condition is
corrected. When leak condition has been corrected, audible alarms will stop, and visual alarms will turn
off.
NOTE: The green LED next to the therapy pressure selector button, 75 mmHg or 125 mmHg, will remain on
during the leak condition.
