Hardware Requirements; Running Est - Covidien Puritan Bennett 700 Series Service Manual

3.4.2 Hardware requirements

Table 3-3 lists the hardware requirements for EST.
Description
Ventilator breathing circuit
Stopper, wye (no. 2)
Stopper, inspiration port (no. 3)
Oxygen source, 40 to 90 psi
(275 to 620 kPa)
Warning
Due to excessive restriction of Air Liquide™*, Australian, and Dräger™* hose assemblies, reduced FIO
may result when oxygen inlet pressures < 50 psi (345 kPa) are employed. Make sure oxygen inlet pressure is
approximately 50 psi (345 kPa) when using these hose assemblies, to maintain correct FIO

3.4.3 Running EST

Warning
• Before running EST, you must disconnect the ventilator from the patient. Running
EST while the ventilator is connected to the patient can injure the patient.
• A fault identified in EST indicates the ventilator or an associated component is
defective. A defective ventilator or associated component should be repaired before
the ventilator is returned to service, unless it can be determined with certainty the
defect cannot create a hazard for the patient, or add to the risks which may arise
from other hazards.
Caution
To ensure accurate EST operation, run EST after the ventilator has been powered on for
at least 10 minutes.
