Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 103
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
page 107. The self test can be canceled up to
ten consecutive times.
System compliance
Apollo determines the current compliance of the
breathing circuit consisting of filters, hoses, and a
Y-piece. Typical values for the inspiratory system
compliance are between 0.5 and 2.6 mL/hPa
(mL/cmH
2O).
In volume-controlled ventilation, system compliance
is compensated. For this purpose, Apollo increases
the applied tidal volume on the basis of the difference
between PEEP and plateau pressure in accordance
with the determined compliance value.
Leak tests
The Apollo tests for leaks in the mechanical
subsystem and in the Man/Spont system.
Leak system
Figure 48. Mechanical Ventilation Leak Test
– Figure 48 shows the components tested in the
mechanical ventilation branch.
– This branch is tested with positive pressure.
– Leaks are indicated on the Self Test Results
screen by the yellow/green test result indicator
and by posting the leak value in mL/min (Leak
(system) test result in Figure 47).
WARNING!
Risk of device failure and/or patient injury
Canceling the self test may lead to
malfunctions. Special attention is required
during operation.
Always perform a complete self test, unless
acting in an emergency situation. If canceled for
an emergency situation, perform a complete
self test as soon as practicable.
