Initial Operation with Default Parameter Settings
Following power on, the ventilator goes through a Self-Check (a set of system tests and
checks). If the Self-Check passes, the LED array turns green and the Start Menu displays,
indicating that the ventilator is operational.
The Start Menu enables the user to choose between predefined ventilator parameter settings
(for adult patients, pediatric patients, patients requiring Mask CPAP), a previously saved set of
Custom parameter settings, or the parameter settings last used during ventilator operation. The
Start Menu choices include:
Warning!
