" SELF TEST " : self-diagnostic tests list
•
Turbine functioning check and status.
•
During this test phase the system provide to 21%
calibration of the oxygen sensor.
•
Check the operation of the Inspiratory Flow sensor.
•
Check the operation of the pressure sensor by checking
PAW reading.
•
Expiratory electro-valve functioning check.
•
This test verify the patient circuit connection checking
the presence of pressure in the circuit opening and
closing the expiratory valve.
•
Check the battery voltage value.
•
Check the electric connection and the calibration of the
O 2 sensor (voltage delivered by the O
value between 9 to 14ml ).
•
The clinician should check if the system generates the
acoustic signal, he can confirm the test by silencing the
alarm.
