Ventilator Calibrations
Note: Never perform these functions when an animal is connected to the ventilator.
1. Measure Deadspace
1) Set up tubing.
2) Touch “Calib & tests”, then “Measure deadspace”.
3) Firmly seal the end of the endotracheal tube with your finger or a cap,
ensuring that there is no air leakage.
4) Press Dial B. When asked to confirm measurement, press Dial B again.
2. Zero Sensors
1) Set up tubing.
2) Touch “Calib & tests”, then “Zero sensors”.
3) Press Dial B. When asked to confirm measurement, press Dial B again.
3. Make Ventilator Settings
Configure all anesthesia settings and air supply settings first (see page 7).
1. Touch:
1) “Select Ventilator” for access to all RoVent® touch menus.
2) “Body Weight” to choose the body weight that determines the
automatic settings for respiration rate and tidal volume. To change these
Parameters manually, Touch “Respiration rate” or “Set target volume”.
2. Choose a ventilator priority by touching “More ventilator”, then
“Priority
Menu”.
Pressure Priority:
RoVent® ventilates to a specified inspiratory pressure.
The default target pressure is 15cmH2O independent of body weight setting.
To change the target pressure, touch “Set target pressure”.
Volume Priority:
RoVent® delivers an initial target pressure for the first breath,
then delivers a target tidal volume. The default target tidal volume is
calculated based on body weight. To change the target tidal volume, touch
“Set target volume”.
Note: You can change the initial target pressure for the
first breath, as well as the minimum and maximum allowed
pressures to customize the ventilator’s operating range as the
ventilator delivers the set tidal volume.
