Cancelling the Self Test
Figure 49. Cancelling Self Test
To cancel the self test before completion, for
example, for a quick start in an emergency:
• press the >Cancel Test> key (1 in Figure
49), and proceed as specified in
“Emergency Start” on page 68. The self
test can be cancelled up to ten
consecutive times.
System Compliance Test
The Apollo determines the current compliance of the
patient system with any filters, hoses, and a Y-piece.
The system compliance test result is indicated on the
Self Test Results screen by the red/yellow/green
indicator and by posting the compliance value.
The compliance value is used during volume-
controlled ventilation to correct for the reduction of
tidal volume due to system compliance. For more
information, see “Compliance Compensation” on
page 89.

CAUTION !
Cancelling the self test may lead to limited
functionality. Greater clinical attention is required
during operation if the self test has been
interrupted. The clinician should perform a complete
power-up self test as soon as is practical.
