10.18.6.2 Airway pressure alarm
To test the high pressure alarm, put the ventilator in PCV mode, set PEEP to zero, Control Pr to 5 and
set the Ppeak alarm’s upper limit to 5. Assembly the respiratory circuit, put the equipment to cycle and press
the balloon so that the monitored pressure is greater than the set pressure. To test the low pressure alarm, set
the Ppeak
alarm’s lower limit above inspiratory pressure monitored in the equipment.
10.18.6.3 Volume alarm
To test the high volume alarm, set the alarm’s upper limit volume below the volume adjusted in the
mode parameters. To test the low volume alarm, set the alarm’s lower limit volume above the volume adjusted
in the mode parameters.
10.18.6.4 No AC power alarm
Remove the power supply.
10.18.6.5 Low battery alarm
Leave the equipment on, unplugged and cycling for 3 hours.
10.18.6.6 Gas supply failure alarm
Disconnect the air and O

supply.
10.18.6.7 PEEP alarm
To test the high PEEP alarm, set the alarm’s upper limit PEEP below the adjusted in the mode
parameters. To test the low PEEP alarm, set the al
arm’s lower limit PEEP above the PEEP adjusted in the
mode parameters.
10.18.6.8 Disconnection alarm
Disconnect the simulator from the respiratory circuit and leave the equipment cycling.
