Diagnostic Codes
3158
Exhalation Valve Test failure.
(Neonatal Option only)
This code indicates that the initial
pressure is outside of range during
exhalation valve test.
1. Check exhalation solenoid (Chapter
5) for operation and leaks.
2. Check exhalation pressure transducer
3. Check exhalation valve.
4. Check for kinks in the tube between
exhalation solenoid and exhalation
pressure sensor.
5. Replace sensor PCB.
3159
Exhalation Valve Test failure.
(Neonatal Option only)
This code indicates that the final
pressure is outside of range during
exhalation valve test.
1. Check exhalation solenoid (Chapter
5) for operation and leaks.
2. Check exhalation pressure transducer
3. Check exhalation valve.
4. Check for kinks in the tube between
exhalation solenoid and exhalation
pressure sensor.
5. Replace sensor PCB.
3160
Exhalation Valve Test failure.
(Neonatal Option only)
This code indicates that the
exhalation flow is outside of range
during exhalation valve test.
1. Check circuit integrity.
2. Check exhalation filter for occlusion
or leaks.
3. Check exhalation flow sensor
4. Check orientation of exhalation check
valve CV4.
5. Replace exhalation flow sensor.
6. Replace sensor PCB.
4xxx: Continuous Built-in Test Failures (*Vent Inop.)
4002*
RAM test.
Memory test on CPU PCB.
Replace CPU PCB.
4003*
ADC/DAC test.
The 12-bit analog to digital
converter (ADC) and 8-bit digital to
analog converter (DAC) on the
analog PCB are tested.
1. Replace analog PCB.
2. Replace main to sensor cable.
3. Replace sensor PCB.
4004*
Inhalation autozero failure.
The inspiratory pressure transducer
solenoid (SOL4) is energized at
regular intervals. This code indicates
that the system failed to measure a
stable reading. Three consecutive
failures result in a
Vent Inop
condition.
1. Check for crimped tubes between
inhalation solenoid and transducers
on sensor PCBA.
2. Check inhalation solenoid (Chapter
5).
3. Replace sensor PCB.
4. Replace three-station solenoid
assembly.
5. Replace main to sensor cable.
6. Replace analog PCB.
7. Replace main PCB.
