Flow and pressure calibration
Room temperature fluctuations of more than 5°C may affect sensor
measurements. Recalibrate the flow sensors if the room temperature
changes by more than 5°C.
Calibrate the flow sensors by removing the flow sensor module from
the system. On-screen instructions are available through System
Setup - Calibration
- Flow and Pressure.
1. Set the Bag/Vent switch to Bag.
2. Remove the flow sensor module.
3. Wait for ‘No insp flow sensor’ and ‘No exp flow sensor’ alarms to
occur.
4. Reinsert the flow sensor module. Make sure the flow sensors
are securely latched when they are reinserted. Wait for alarms
to clear.
5. Start mechanical ventilation when ready.
