Graphic User Interface (GUI) Esprit ventilators include a 9.5-in. monochrome or 10.4-in. color-capable liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. The 9.5-in. LCD is a monochrome 640 x 480 active matrix display. The 10.4-in LCD is a color 640 x 480 active matrix display capable of operating in monochrome or color mode.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Esprit Ventilator without a properly functioning expiratory filter and heater. Doing so may cause damage to delicate ventilator components, such as the expiratory flow sensor, which may lead to inaccurate spirometry or a Vent Inop condition.
Chapter 5. Repair This section describes the Esprit Ventilator’s diagnostic mode and other repair procedures. Diagnostic mode allows you to: • Run short self test (SST). • Run an extended self test (EST). • Check the software revision of the ventilator and installed options.
Chapter 5 Repair Entering Diagnostic To start Esprit ventilator diagnostics, simultaneously press the ALARM RESET and 100% O keys on the front panel for approximately five seconds while Mode turning ventilator power on. At the prompt, touch OK to enter diagnostic mode (Figure 5-1).
(even though compliance correction appears enabled). Backup Battery/ If the backup battery is installed, the operator can have the Esprit confirm the backup battery is connected each time that the machine powers on. Pressing Confirmation the BKUP BATTERY button (Figure 5-3) allows this confirmation feature, identified by an active button with a white background.
Figure 5-7: Diagnostic Mode Software Screen Diagnostic Codes The Esprit Ventilator generates diagnostic codes when the microprocessor detects a fault during normal operation, or if a failure occurs during SST or EST. Section 6 lists diagnostic codes, and recommended repair procedures for each code.
Chapter 6. Diagnostic Codes The Esprit Ventilator generates diagnostic codes when the microprocessor detects a fault during normal operation, or if a failure occurs during SST or EST. Table 6-1 lists diagnostic codes, and recommended repair procedures for each code. Perform the repair procedures in the order listed until the problem is resolved.
• Generating a DRPT Downloading The CPU PCB in the Esprit Ventilator contains nonvolatile memory that allows the software to be upgraded electronically using a personal computer (PC) or Software laptop computer. If the CPU PCB is replaced, the serial number and any installed options (such as color or graphics) must be reprogrammed.
