shows negative flows
during exhalation and
positive flows during
inspiration.
Sense lines are reversed.
The sense lines are not designed to be
removed from either the wye or the Luer
fittings. If the sense lines have been
removed and replaced incorrectly, they
may not seal correctly when replaced.
Replace the patient wye and sense lines
with a known good assembly.
Ventilator won’t allow
patient to exhale.
Diaphragm installed
backwards or incorrectly
seated in exhalation valve.
Open the exhalation valve and remove the
diaphragm. Reseat the diaphragm and
snap the valve cap back in place. See
Cleaning the Reusable Exhalation Valve
and Patient Circuit
in Chapter 4
for a
diagram of the exhalation valve assembly.
Sense lines occluded,
pinched or reversed.
Check high and low pressure sense lines
to be sure they are correctly attached and
securely seated at both the ventilator and
wye ends.
Verify lines are not occluded or pinched.
Internal flexible tubing
occluded or pinched.
Internal flexible tubing has
pinhole leaks or leaking at
connections.
This problem will often be accompanied
by

and verify that none of the flexible tubes
connected to the solenoid manifold or
analog board are pinched or leaking. See
Internal Flexible Tubing
on
page 8-33

Pinhole leaks in bypass
flexible tube.
If the bypass flexible tube is pinched, it
can usually be seen pressed against the
louver openings in the bottom of the
ventilator case.
Open the ventilator and remove the back
panel. Replace the back panel being sure
to fit the louvers in between the upper and
lower loop of the bypass flexible tube
before seating the back cover.
If the bypass flexible tube is leaking,
replace it.
