    Abstract

    A shape-only alarm system was tested using an Enclosed Afferent Reservoir (EAR) and a Bain breathing system during simulated spontaneous and controlled ventilation. Correct classification rates for failures of 97.6% and 94.3% were obtained for the EAR and the Bain studies respectively in the face of over 100 unseen simulated failures for each breathing system. In both studies, only one false positive alarm was indicated by the alarm and one false negative instances were observed.
