C. CALIBRATION
The accuracy of the instrument's indicators and controls should be retained over its
life as long as it has not been subject to abuse. The calibration of the pressure
gauge, flow control, and timing controls may be checked with relative ease.
Note:
The calibration of the two timing controls (INSP. TIME and EXP. TIME) and the flow
rate control depends on the fixed position of the knobs on their shafts. Should
these knobs come loose, do not attempt to refasten. Return the instrument to Bio-
Med Devices for repair.
The pressure gauge readings can be compared to a standard by teeing into the
hose connected to the GAUGE fitting of the IC-2A, and connecting it to the standard
gauge.
Should the gauge need zeroing, this may be accomplished while the instrument is
inoperative by removing the gauge’s lens and setting the zero screw adjust on the
front dial of the gauge. If the calibration of any of the indicators or controls is in
error, then the instrument should be returned to BMD for adjustment.
D. IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED
The IC-2A Ventilator should be returned to BMD, for any repair or service that may
be required.
Maintenance scheduling of the Bio-Med Devices' IC-2A Pneumatic Ventilator is
dependent upon frequency of use, condition of supply gases, and handling. It is
recommended that units operated on a regular basis be factory serviced annually.
For units used infrequently, a maximum of 3 years between factory service is
recommended. Qualified personnel following prescribed checkout procedures may
periodically verify calibration. The annual service procedure should be performed
by experienced personnel at the factory. Field service beyond minor adjustment is
not recommended due to the IC-2A's unique pneumatic logic circuit.
PACK THE INSTRUMENT SO THAT IT'S METERS, CONTROL KNOBS, AND
CONNECTIONS ARE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED. Ship pre-paid to:
