Repair
Extended Self Test
(EST)
EST verifies the functional integrity of the ventilator by testing its hardware
subsystems and components. Perform EST between patients, during
preventive maintenance, performance verification, for oxygen sensor
calibration, or if ventilator operation is questionable.
WARNING:
Do not use a ventilator that has failed EST without verifying operational
readiness by other means. Doing so may place a patient at risk.
WARNING:
Never initiate an EST while the patient is connected to the ventilator. The high
airway pressures and gas flows generated during EST can injure a patient.
EST requires this equipment:
•
Reusable adult patient circuit assembly.
•
Rubber cork.
•
Regulated oxygen source.
•
Optional: an external oxygen sensor to perform the automatic oxygen
sensor test and calibration.
•
Optional: a remote alarm.
Follow these steps to run EST:
NOTE:
Steps 10 & 11 are not performed when Neo is selected.
1. Verify that the bacteria filters and oxygen sensor are connected to the
ventilator.
2. Connect the patient circuit to the ventilator.
3. Touch
EST
on the diagnostic screen (Figure 5-6).
4. Touch
Start EST
to begin the test.
