5 Calibration Procedures
5.1
Overview
The purpose of these procedures is to provide instructions and acceptance/rejection criteria to
calibrate the Newport™ e360 ventilator.
This section describes how to use the ventilator’s diagnostic mode to calibrate the ventilator. The
diagnostic mode can also be used for troubleshooting (see Chapter
3 for more information on
troubleshooting).

WARNING:
Authorized Covidien-trained service personnel must perform all service and repairs on the ventilator.

WARNING:
Hazardous voltages are present inside the ventilator. Disconnect electrical power, air, and oxygen
sources before attempting any disassembly. Failure to do so could result in injury to service personnel
or damage to equipment.

Note:
To prevent damage from ESD and possible failure of the ventilator, ALWAYS use standard anti-static practices
when working inside the ventilator, or when handling circuit boards and any other electronic components.
5.2
Calibration Equipment
Verify that all test equipment is in current calibration status. To calibrate the ventilator, you will
need the following:
•
Reusable breathing circuit (PBC340A) or equivalent
•
Cap to plug the end of the breathing circuit (CAP100P) or equivalent
•
Clean, dry, regulated medical air and oxygen supplies at 50 ±2 psig

Note:
To perform the calibration procedures correctly, the gas supply pressure must be regulated to 50 ±2 psig. The
gas supplies can support a minimum constant flow of 180 L/min.
