Issue

Resmed's Astral ventilator is designed to deliver a Total Power Failure (TPF) audible alarm for at least 2 minutes to alert the carer/clinician when the ventilator experiences a total loss of power that results in a stop of ventilation. The TPF audible alarm is powered by an electrical component known as a supercapacitor. This component degrades over time, which may cause the TPF alarm to sound for less than 2 minutes, or in some cases, to not sound at all.
