Why it occurs
The external flow sensor is connected backwards during active therapy.
What to do
Check the sensor position. The arrow direction should align with the air delivered to the patient.

Why it occurs
The active-exhalation pressure control line is not connected, becomes disconnected, or contains water

What to do
Inspect the line. Empty or replace it if necessary.

Why it occurs
The proximal pressure line is not connected.
What to do
•
Verify the proximal pressure line is connected properly at both ends and the line is clean and
untangled.
•
Ensure the main circuit is connected properly and does not have large leaks.
•
Ensure the exhalation valve is intact.
