INTRODUCTION
The N
EWPORT
HT50 Ventilator is used in life-support situations. As
such, it is essential that all individuals using the N
EWPORT
HT50,
including clinicians and support staff, have a thorough
understanding of its operation. This should include a working
knowledge of the ventilator’s pneumatic and electronic systems.
The following practical troubleshooting guide is provided as a
training resource for individuals learning how to use the N
EWPORT
HT50, and as a reference tool for those already familiar with its
use and operation. It should be noted that this outline is not all-
inclusive, and is intended only as a guide.
NOTE:
HOME CAREGIVERS: Contact your Homecare Dealer,
physician or Newport if you have questions or concerns about
the performance of the HT50 ventilator.
WARNING
Non-medical home caregivers must have
complete training and demonstrate competency in proper set
up, use, troubleshooting and maintenance of the HT50 prior
to use. They must have a planned response to emergencies
and must comply with appropriate infection control
procedures. Training may be provided by your Homecare
Dealer or N
