6.1 Workflow summary
The following summary procedure provides
an overview of the operation of the SERVO-s
Ventilator System.
1. Turn on the ventilator and perform a
Pre-use check. When the ventilator is in
Standby, a flashing message, Patient not
ventilated, is displayed on the screen
directly above the word Standby.
2. Enter data for the new patient, including
height and weight.
3. Select type of ventilation (option).
4. Set the ventilation mode.
5. Check, and if necessary, adjust the alarm
profile.
6. Connect ventilator to patient and start
ventilation.
7. During ventilation you can:
use the Additional Settings and Alarm
profile touchpads to review and adjust
settings
-
- use suction support
- adjust the O
2
cell (not when O
2
sensor
is used)
8. Disconnect the patient
The following sections describe each of the
above steps in more detail.
6.2 Pre-use check
The Pre-use check includes tests and
measurements of:
• internal technical functionality
• gas supply
• internal leakage
• pressure transducers
• safety valve
• O
2
cell / O
2
sensor
• flow transducers
• battery modules
• patient circuit leakage
• patient circuit compliance
• patient circuit resistance
WARNINGS!
• Always perform a Pre-use check before
connecting the ventilator to a patient.
• The volume of the patient circuit used
during Pre-use check should be the same
as, and must never be higher than, during
ventilation e.g. the active humidifier must
be filled before Pre-use check.
• The separate Patient Circuit Test that can
be performed in Standby does not
replace the Pre-use check.
• If any malfunctions are detected during
the start-up procedure, see chapter
System messages for more information.
• Do not connect the ventilator to a patient
while a malfunction persists.
• Do not disconnect the expiratory
cassette while the ventilator is in
operation; if necessary, disconnect the
cassette while in Standby.
