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.
The Vent and Gas test checks the agent delivery, airway module,
Bag/Vent switch, proper gas supply pressures, ventilator operation
and leak, battery and electrical power, circuit compliance, and flow
control operation. This is a two-step test.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
Note Any cassette may be used during the test. Use a non-desflurane
cassette during the test to check the full functionality of the internal
electronic control unit.
The Circuit Leak test checks the Bag/Vent switch, proper gas
supply pressures, airway pressure measurement transducer, APL
valve, and manual circuit leak.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
The Circuit O2 Cell test measures the O2 percent.
To run this test, follow the on-screen instructions.
The positive pressure Low P Leak test measures machine leaks
before the breathing system, between the common gas outlet and
the high-pressure pneumatics and includes the gas mixer and
vaporizer. It measures low-pressure pneumatic leaks with a pass or
fail limit of 50 ml.
