Machine check
The Machine Check or the individual checks must be performed at
least once within every 24-hour period.
Perform the Machine Check at the start of each day. The machine
check runs automatically and beeps to indicate when it is finished or if
interaction is required.
The Machine Check does a Machine Check-System check,
Machine Check-Circuit check, and a Machine Check-Circuit O2
cell check (if circuit O2 cell is present). When one of the checks is
completed, the next check begins.
1. Turn the System switch to On.
2. Select Machine Check and follow the instructions.
3. If a check fails, follow the instructions to perform a recheck or
accept the results.
4. When the Machine Check is completed, start a case.
Note In case of a patient emergency, the Machine Check may be
bypassed by selecting Start Case from the Checkout menu. The
general message ‘Please Do Checkout’ is displayed if a Machine
Check is not completed with passing results within 24 hours.

8. Select Continue. The display shows the checks being run.
9. When the check passes, the next check starts.

circuit
The Machine Check-Circuit checks the Bag/Vent switch, proper gas
supply pressures, airway pressure measurement transducer, APL
valve, and manual circuit leak.

2. Set Bag/Vent switch to Bag.
3. Set the APL valve halfway between 30 and 70.
