Chapter 5. Repair
This section describes the Esprit Ventilator’s diagnostic mode and other repair
procedures. Diagnostic mode allows you to:
•
Run short self test (SST).
•
Run an extended self test (EST).
•
Check the software revision of the ventilator and installed options.
•
Change the time and date.
•
Enable or disable the automatic patient circuit compliance feature.
•
Set the proper altitude.
•
Check diagnostic codes.
•
Control and monitor pneumatic components and voltages for
troubleshooting.
•
Check bacteria filter resistance.
The diagnostic mode includes hardware diagnostics that facilitate
troubleshooting in the event of an SST failure, an EST failure, or a
performance verification failure.
WARNING:
Diagnostic mode suspends normal ventilation: disconnect the patient from the
ventilator before entering diagnostic mode.
CAUTION:
