I am in a pain clinic where all cases are MAC. We use the Narkomed 2b as a back-up in case of emergency, but 99% of the time only utilize the aux. O2. However the machine is turned on and checked daily. How do you silence the alarm that goes constanly saying %02Low, etc. You can silence for 120 seconds, but it is annoying to have to press the silence alarm button every 2 min during a 10 hr day!! What is the trick to silencing that alarm for the duration, yet keeping the machine ready to go as needed?

How to silence alarms under specific circumstances.

Nominal O2 concentration in room air is 21%. When you turn on the 2B, the default low O2 alarm setting is 30%. Select the low O2 alarm setting and lower it with the down arrow as far as you can (usually 18%). That should eliminate your alarms until the unit is switched on again , where this process will need to be repeated.

The Narkomed family resets the low O2 limit alarm level everytime you turn the machine on to 30%. You will have to manually change it each time you turn on the machine.
