The Full Test or all of the individual tests must be completed with
passing results at least once within every 24-hour period.
Individual tests allow the user to perform any combination of single
tests. These tests are helpful if there is a specific problem/alarm and
the user wishes to test only that portion of the system.
The tests do not automatically move on to the next test. After
completing a test, do another or start a case. If a test fails, follow the
instructions to perform a recheck or accept the results.
Note The airway module sampling flow is paused during the checkout
when an airway module is installed within the system. If an airway
module is installed on an external monitor outside of the system,
disconnect the gas sampling line from the patient circuit and close
the sample port before performing the checkout.
The Ventilator Leak test checks the ventilator, bellows, gas
supplies, and breathing circuit for gas leaks in the mechanical
ventilation mode. The patient circuit compliance is also measured in
this test.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
The Vaporizer Leak test is a two-step test. The test first checks the
ventilator, bellows, gas supplies, and then checks for leaks in each
vaporizer.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
The Gas Controls test checks the flow control valves and gas flows.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
The Circuit Leak test checks the Bag/Vent switch, proper gas supply
pressures, airway pressure measurement transducer, APL valve,
and manual circuit leak.
