With the communications interface, you can connect your
device to a patient monitor, to a PDMS or computer (via an
RS-232 port), or to a nurse call device. See Appendix I for
details on the communications interface. Before connecting
any other device, ensure your device is properly configured
(see Appendix J).
2.15 Starting up the ventilator
WARNING
To ensure the ventilator’s safe operation, always
run the prescribed tests and calibrations before
using the ventilator on a patient. If the ventilator
fails any tests, remove it from clinical use immedi-
ately. DO NOT use the defective ventilator until
necessary repairs are completed and all tests
passed.
NOTE:
• To shut down the device in an orderly manner, avoid
switching the power quickly OFF and ON. If the ven-
tilator buzzer sounds continuously upon power ON,
switch the power OFF, then wait for several seconds
before switching the power ON again.
• If your device is new, be sure it has been properly
configured for default language, ventilation philos-
ophy, alarms, and others factors (see Appendix J).
• The Ventilation Cockpit must be connected to the
ventilator unit.
1. Turn the ventilator power switch ON (Figure 2-22). The
ventilator will run a self-test. You will hear the emergency
buzzer alarm momentarily activated.
The patient setup window load for a few moments (Figure
5-1).
