Operator's Manual 5-5
Volume/Minute Volume/Respiratory Rate Monitor Check
To perform a volume/minute volume/respiratory rate monitor check:
1.
Change the breath type back to Volume Control, and confirm Tidal Volume is set to 500.
2.
Select VT, Min Vol, and RR Tot to display in each of three Monitor data buttons. Verify that VT= 450–550,
Min Vol = 6–9, and RR Tot = 13–17.
Power Pac Battery Pack and Backup Battery Check
To perform a Power Pac battery pack and backup battery check:
1.
Unplug the AC power supply, and clear the alarm by pressing the Audio Paused/Reset button. Verify
that the ventilator continues to ventilate, and the Power Pac battery gauge (blue icon) reads at least
80%. If the battery charge level is insufficient, plug the ventilator into an external power source to fully
charge the internal dual battery system.
2.
Remove the Power Pac battery pack. Verify that the ventilator continues to ventilate, the alarm sounds,
the alarm LEDs light, and the message in the message area indicates that the backup battery is in use.
3.
Verify that the battery gauge is now red (for secondary backup battery) and reads at least 80%. If the
secondary backup battery charge level is insufficient, reinsert the Power Pac battery and plug the ven-
tilator into an external power source to fully charge the system.
4.
Replace the Power Pac battery pack, and verify that the audible alarm clears but the message remains.
5.
Reconnect the AC power supply into the Power Pac battery pack and confirm that the external power
LED turns green.
6.
Press the Audio Paused/Reset button repeatedly until all alarm messages are cleared.

Press the Brightness button, and verify that it scrolls through four levels of brightness. Set the bright-
ness at desired level.

WARNING:
Review all of the General Warnings and Cautions in Chapter
1 prior to using the ventilator.
All ventilator settings and alarm limits must be appropriate for the patient’s condition, according
to the therapy prescribed by a physician.
To perform a patient setup:
1.
Press the momentary power switch located on the back of the ventilator to turn the ventilator on. The
ventilator performs a brief self-test to ensure proper microprocessor function. During the self-test,
verify that the Startup screen appears, the LEDs light, and the audible alarm sounds briefly.
