The Valves - Test Tool menu allows you to manually control the
Inspiratory Flow Valve, the PEEP Valve, and the PEEP Safety Valve,
and observe key pressure and flow measurements on the same
screen.
Note This is not the actual calibration of those components.
This menu is mainly used to test the drive gas circuit or to supply
drive gas flow for several tests:
• It is used to test the mechanical overpressure valve as
detailed in Section 6.4, "Adjust drive gas regulator".
• It is used to adjust the drive gas regulator as detailed in
Section 6.5, "MOPV pressure relief valve test".
• It is used to check primary regulators as detailed in Section
5.1.2.

Calibration should be performed before you Set Inspiratory Flow
Valve and Set PEEP Valve.
The flow through the Inspiratory Valve can be set:
• from Off to 100 L/min in 1 L/min increments.
The PEEP Valve can be set:
• from Off to 100 cm H
The PEEP Safety Valve can be set:
