Abstract
A control system where the clinician can have manual control of the state for various alarms, generally volume alarms and apnea alarms. The control is interactive, that is, while the clinician can manually set the state in a variety of settings, the control system automatically overrides the clinician's selection to activate both the volume and apnea alarms wherever the mechanical ventilator is turned on. In addition, there is another override where a breath is detected by the ventilator to turn all of the alarm systems from both being inactive to both alarms being active.
