7.1.5 Exhalation valve
calibration check
The Exhalation Valve Calibration check sets flow at 4 l/min as measured by
the total flow sensor and the expiratory valve to 34 cmH2O. Once stable, it
opens the Expiratory Valve and verifies that the exp Paw is less than 2 cmH2O
within 250 ms.
1. Cannot achieve 34 cmH
2
O (+/- 10 cmH2O pressure.
The test will indicate
Fail
but no alarm message is displayed.
• Ensure supply gas is connected and device can achieve at least 4 lpm at
the 10 lpm calibration point (see step 3a).
• Calibrate the Exhlation Valve.
• A leak is indicated; use the EC Service Application PC based (Section
8.5) and the Low Pressure Leak test (Section 5.2.4) to isolate and repair
the leak.
• Repeat check.
2. If both the Relief Valve and Exhalation Valve tests fail and the leak rate is
less than 2000 counts, the most likely problem is with the Pexp Sensor not
returning to zero:
• Use the Service Application to apply 34 cmH
2
O of pressure until stable,
then release the pressure using either the Exhalation Valve or the Safety
Relief Valve. The Pexp value must return to less than 2 within 250 msec.
If not, re-zero and repeat or replace the Pexp sensor.
3. If only this check is failing:
a. Use the Service Application to verify at least 4 l/min is generated by
the FCV. If not:
• Recalibrate the FCV.
• Replace the FCV.
b. Remove the Exhalation Valve Assembly and ensure the Voice coil shaft
is clean and dry and moves freely without binding.
c. Replace the Exhalation Valve Assembly.
d. Replace the Voice coil assembly.
If this check fails, all ventilator modes will still be available.
7.1.6 Exhalation flow
sensor calibration test
The Exhalation Flow Sensor Calibration test compares the Exhalation Flow
Sensor output to the Total Flow Sensor output at 10 l/min. If the Expiratory
Flow Sensor is within 20% of the Total Flow Sensor, the test passes and an
Expiratory Flow normalization table is created to compensate for up to 10% of
this discrepancy.
1. If only this test fails, replace the Exhalation Flow Sensor.
2. If the Air and/or O2 Inspiratory Flow Sensor calibration checks also fail, use
the Service Application to determine the accuracy of the Total Flow Sensor.
If this test fails, all ventilator functions will still be available. The message
Flow Sensor Error
will be displayed.
