Setting Up the Z Vent Ventilator
6. Power On the Ventilator
To power on the ventilator, turn the Power switch to "I". Figure 3-6 shows the location of the
ventilator's Power switch.
After powering on, the device performs its Self-Check test, which checks for alarm conditions
and the operation of the pneumatic system, internal communications, and power system. After
completing the Self-Check test, the ventilator waits for the user to select a starting
configuration before it begins to operate. Once operation begins, the ventilator continuously
monitors for alarm conditions.
During normal start-up, the ventilator's alarms are muted for 2 minutes (120 seconds) to allow
you to connect the patient circuit, pulse oximeter, adjust ventilator settings, and perform an
operational test without distraction. The start-up mute self clears when there are not any active
medium priority alarms and no un-muted low priority alarms for a period of 15 seconds.
Warning!
Always start the ventilator, select the patient settings, ensure operation, and then
connect the patient. Always manually ventilate the patient when they are not connected
to the ventilator.
7. Select Start Menu Option
When you power on the ventilator, the Start Menu appears, from which you choose an
appropriate starting configuration for the patient. You can select from these patient defaults:
