Patient Circuit Calibration - Care Fusion 3100B Pocket Manual

Patient circuit calibration

Perform the patient circuit calibration procedure before ventilating a patient.
Each circuit that is used on the oscillator must be calibrated. The circuit calibration
procedure verifies the circuit is leak-free and will hold pressure. Perform this
procedure before placing a patient on the 3100B HFOV and anytime a circuit
component is changed.
1. Insert the stopper in the patient circuit wye and turn on the bias flow gas.
2. Rotate the ADJUST control to Max.
3. Set the Max P Alarm to 59 cmH O.
