After downloading software, disable compliance correction, then re-
enable compliance correction (even though compliance correction
appears enabled).
Backup Battery/
Confirmation
If the backup battery is installed, the operator can have the Esprit confirm the
backup battery is connected each time that the machine powers on. Pressing
the BKUP BATTERY button (Figure 5-3) allows this confirmation feature,
identified by an active button with a white background.
Figure 5-3: Backup Battery Activated
From then on when the machine powers on it searches for a backup battery. If
the backup battery is connected to the ventilator the startup is normal. If the
backup battery is not connected then the ventilator displays a message at
startup and a 5002 Diagnostic Code will be logged.

Short Self Test (SST)
SST verifies the integrity of the patient circuit tubing by measuring its leak
rate and compliance. SST also tests some hardware, including the safety valve
(SV), flow sensor tables, autozero solenoids and the inspiratory non-
rebreathing check valve (CV3). Perform SST after every patient circuit change.
WARNING:
Do not use a ventilator that has failed SST without verifying operational
readiness by other means. Doing so may place a patient at risk.
