3 Installation and commissioning
3.11 Applying power
CAUTION:
Do not obstruct the vents located on the left- and right-hand sides of the device
and underneath it, as this could compromise patient safety.
Apply power to the device using the ON/OFF button located on the left-hand side of the unit.
The initialization tests start up (duration: up to 5 s). The buzzers sound and the alarm indicators light
up.
After the initialization tests, the machine displays the start-up screen.
Note:
When switching the device on using internal/external battery (no mains supply con-
nected), the ON/OFF button may need to be pressed for an extended period of time than nor-
mal to start the device (approximately 3 seconds).
CAUTION:
Ensure that the two batteries (internal and removable) are charged fully before us-
ing the ventilator.
3.12 Automatic tests
The automatic tests check the integrity and correct operation of the unit’s internal components.
In particular, they calibrate certain sensors, including the expiratory flow sensor and the oxygen cell.
Without these tests, the precision of ventilation parameters and measurements cannot be guaranteed.
Note:
Air Liquide Medical Systems
therefore recommends the running of these automatic
tests before each use on a patient.
1.
To launch the automatic tests, press the
Automatic
tests key.
2.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
3.
Press
Validate
to confirm the launching of tests.
At the end of testing, a window is displayed with the instruction to remove the plug from the Y-
piece on the patient circuit, accompanied by an audible reminder every 2 minutes.
Note:
If the user does not disconnect the patient circuit, the test stops after 20 minutes.
Press
Restart
to resume the last stage of the autotests.
The automatic tests end a few seconds after the cap is taken off the Y-piece. When the tests are over,
press
End
.
To interrupt the tests, press
Stop
and then
Finish
.
To resume the tests, press
Restart
and then
Validate
.
If the autotests fail with the message “Circuit resistance not evaluated”:
•
check that the selected patient category matches the patient circuit used,
•
check that the patient circuit is correctly connected to the device,
•
check that the filters and other accessories used do not generate too high a resistance.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the patient category selected corresponds to the patient circuit
and the accessories used (see section Selecting the patient category on page 31).
