Set the Source Gas to whatever source gas is being used for testing.
Connect the adjustable source gas supply to the
ventilator using an adjustable regulator set to 50
PSI. Turn on the source gas supply to 50 PSI
nominal.
Connect the interface. For more information, see
"Chapter 5: Connecting an Interface" on page 44.

2. TESTING THE LOW GAS PRESSURE ALARM (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
Begin by ventilating using the Low Activity button. Allow the ventilator to ventilate for a few breaths using the
current settings.
Disconnect the source gas supply hose from the ventilator connection by pulling back on the knurled ring
until the hose detaches.
The top of the touch screen should display the Low Gas Pressure alarm
(in yellow), and you should hear a sequence of three tones indicating a
medium-priority alarm or vibrate.
NOTE:
If a low- or medium-priority alarm occurs while the ventilator is in
vibration mode, and the alarm is not resolved within 60 seconds, an audible
alarm occurs.
After verifying the correct alarm notifications,
reattach the source gas supply hose to the
ventilator.
The Low Gas Pressure alarm will resolve itself
once the gas supply is correctly reattached.
3. TESTING THE HIGH DELIVERY PRESSURE ALARM (MEDIUM PRIORITY)
Begin by ventilating using the Low Activity button. Allow the ventilator to ventilate for a few breaths using the
current settings.
As soon as the breath indicator light shows a breath being delivered by the ventilator, quickly pinch the
interface tubing near the ventilator connection.
The top of the touch screen should display the High Delivery Pressure
(High Del. Pressure) alarm (in yellow), and you should hear a sequence of
three tones indicating a medium-priority alarm or vibrate.
NOTE:
If a low- or medium-priority alarm occurs while the ventilator is in
vibration mode, and the alarm is not resolved within 60 seconds, an audible
alarm occurs.
After verifying the correct alarm notifications, release the interface tubing.
The High Delivery Pressure alarm will resolve itself once the interface has
been released.
