The rlad is designed to detect air based on the threshold for the patient.If the air is lower than the threshold for the patient, the rlad will not alarm.In this case the patient did not show any symptoms of air at the time of the incident.Follow up with the patient was done on august 14, 2015 and no issues were reported.The amount of air received by the patient was most likely less than the air threshold for the patient, which is why the rlad did not alarm.
