The NOxBOX
i
samplingow-rateisapproximately225ml/min.Pleasebeawarethatdirect
ventilationonverylowtidalvolumesmaybeadverselyaffectedduetohighdetectedleak-rate(%
leakrate)ontheventilator.ThiscanalsogeneratehigherNO
2
valuesduetoincreaseddwelltime
fortheNOinthelines.Tocounteractthiseffect,increasingthebiasowfrom2L/minto8L/min
cansignicantlyreducetheeffectsofbothventilatorleakandNO

generation.

System Test Fail The NOxBOX
i
has failed the safety test

Nitric Oxide in intelligent mode.
ChecktheOxygensourceisowing.
Check the NOxFLOW is connected to the
Oxygen source and the NOxBOXi-TEST kit.
Check the correct orientation of NOxFLOW.
Check the NOxFLOW is connected to the
NOxBOX
i
.
CheckNOxFLOWowdetectionlinesand
connector O rings for damage.
Check sample line is connected to the water
trap and the NOxBOXi-TEST kit.
Checkwatertrap(includingbarrelthread)for
damage.
Repeat the system test.
Ifsecondtestfails,replacetheNOxFLOWand
sample line.
Oneorallofthesensorsmayhave
become unstable.
Ifanothersystemisnotreadilyavailableand
patientrequirestherapy,engagethe
