POWER UP AND WEIGHT SELECTION

If you have installed a patient circuit then you are ready to begin operating the

panel.
When power is turned on, the software performs a self-test. Once the boot up
process completes (after approximately thirty seconds) you hear a beep and the
screen (Figure 28) asks you to select the patient's body weight, which sets the
default ventilation parameters.
