High pressure alarm Test 2:
Connect the device to the pneumatic supply.
Set the minute volume at the lower value
Set the pressure limit at 60 mbar
Set the frequency lower than 20 bpm
Turn on the device
Close with one hand the port used to connect the breathing tube making sure it is completely obstructed.
Gradually increase the volume minute until the alarm is activated. When the alarm starts the pointer of the manovacuometer should show
a pressure level of 60 mbar. If the alarm is regularly activated the test is successful.
Pneumatic supply alarm Test:
Disconnect the device from the pneumatic supply source or close the oxygen bottle valve.
Turn on the device.
If the alarm is regularly activated the test is successful.
Low battery alarm Test:
To perform this test is necessary to put the device out of service.
Use the device until the activation of the alarm signal.
If the alarm is regularly activated, the test was successful.
Warning: Don’t perform this test if is expected that the device is to be used because its battery charge level would be insufficient to ensure
patient safety.
In the event of prolonged inactivity periods or before transports, do the following:
Turn off the device.
Disconnect the ventilator from the power supply.
Check the charge status of the internal battery and, if necessary, recharge it.
For prolonged inactivity, in addition to the recommendations listed above, the device must be store following other precautions about the
place, time and modality of storage:
Store the device in a closed place.
Protect it from shocks and stresses
Protect it from humidity and wide temperature excursions.
Avoid contact with corrosive substances.
The procedures listed below shall be carried out and checked before each use of the device.
Le verifiche di seguito descritte devono essere effettuate prima di ogni utilizzo dell’apparecchio.
To check
Required result
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Corrugated Tube
Non-rebreathing valve
PEEP valve (if present)
Face mask
Ventilation test
Disposable filter
Connection
All components have to be in good
conditions and correctly connected
The device or its components must be
correctly cleaned or replaced.
ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
Turn on the device by putting the lever on
“I”
The device is working
PNEUMATIC POWER SUPPLY
Pressure reducer and oxygen tank.
Connection between the oxygen tube and the
device input
Presence of unified plug for connection to the
gas supply or correct connection to the
pressure reducer of the tank
The pressure regulator must be subjected to
periodic maintenance and the oxygen tanks
must have enough autonomy to ensure the
proper operation of the device.
The connection to the output of the pressure
reducer is safe
There are no active alarms
In the event of external power supply failure, is possible to use the device powered by the internal power supply. In this case is necessary to
carry out proper checks to the external power supply. This operation should be done by the installer.
If the failure involves the internal power supply, is possible to use the device powered by the external power source. Is necessary to replace
the internal battery and the fuses as soon as possible.
In the event of failure of the pneumatic supply, is necessary to switch to another ventilation equipment.
Always check that at least one alternative artificial ventilation equipment, so the rescue procedures can be carried out also if any failure
occurs.
The proper operation of the pneumatic supplies must always be guaranteed. Carefully follow the instructions and carry out the maintenance
required by manufacturers of such devices.
The inspection frequency is determined by factors such as legal requirements, the type of use, frequency of use, environmental conditions
during use and storage.
