IMPORTANT If the ventilator experiences extreme electrical interference, it may
interrupt mechanical ventilation. If this interruption occurs, the ven-
tilator generates an internal reset function and resumes normal op-
eration after two (2) seconds. For situations where continuous
electrical interference is experienced by the ventilator, causing a
continuous interruption, the ventilator's internal reset repeats until
the interference ceases.
If the electrical interference is continuously present and mechanical
ventilation is interrupted for approximately 30 seconds, the ventila-
tor produces a continuous beeping audio alarm. Manual ventilation
of the patient must be performed while the mechanical ventilation is
interrupted. When the electrical interference ceases, the continuous
Symptom
Probable Cause
Action
Bellows distended
and/or slips off base.
1. Bellows retention problem.
2. Bellows assembly exhaust
restricted.
3. Bellows assembly pressure relief
valve problem.
1. Check bellows.
2. Check the waste gas scavenging
system for high vacuum or blockage.
3. Control port plugged or drive gas
inlet hose blocked.
Continuous flow of
supply gas before
machine is turned
ON.
1. External hose leak.
2. GIV leak.
1. Check hose.
2. Check GIV solenoid.
3. Repair GIV
Bellows does not
descend during inspi-
ration.
1. Bag/APL-Vent selector in Bag/
APL position.
2. Drive gas hose disconnected or
leaking.
1. Place the Bag/APL-Vent selector
in the Vent position.
2. Reconnect drive gas hose or
check for leaks.
Alarms sound with-
out apparent cause
and cannot be
silenced.
1. Microprocessor failure.
1. Replace microcontrol board.
Ventilator will not turn
on when remote on/
off switch is turned
on and AC LED is on
1. 50 position cable, external cable
SIB to 7900
2. Remote on/off switch cable
3. Remote on/off switch
4. Power supply board
1. Ensure cable is plugged in prop-
erly at 7900 and SIB
2. Ensure cable is plugged in prop-
erly at switch and SIB
3. Replace switch
4. Replace power supply board
Settings do not meet
specifications.
1. Out of calibration.
1. Calibrate.
Erratic pressure
waveform
Slow exhalation pres-
sure release
1. Slight to moderate valve leakage
2. O-Ring Seal, Housing to Main
Manifold
3. Alignment of seat and seal after
assembly
4. Loose mounting screws
1. Check operation of drive gas
check Valve
2. Replace drive gas check valve
