Preoperational
Procedure
8-30
The preoperational procedure verifies that the ventilator is ready for use on a
patient.
WARNING:
Ensure that an alternative means of ventilation (i.e., a resuscitator or similar
device) is available while the Esprit Ventilator is in use on a patient.
WARNING:
DO NOT perform the preoperational procedure when the ventilator is on a
patient.
Follow these steps:
1. Follow the setup procedures in Chapter 5, "Setup", to prepare Esprit
for use.
2. Connect the patient circuit to be used on the next patient.
3. Install any components that are to be used in line with the patient
circuit (for example, humidifier, O
monitors).
NOTE:
All components of the patient circuit must not have leaks in order to
pass SST.
4. Ensure that the ventilator is not on a patient!
5. Hold down the ALARM RESET and 100% O
is powered up. The operator must confirm that the machine should be
in Diagnostic Mode (Figure 8-33).
