O
is max. 80 ml/min.
Will allow the system to calculate a
compensation for circuit compliance (if
the leakage requirements are met).
(BRE)
If the internal leakage test (see above)
has passed, the leakage is to be
located to the patient circuit. Check for
leakage or replace the patient circuit.
Alarm state test Checks that no Technical error alarms
