How to troubleshoot Harvard Apparatus VentElite 55-7040 Laboratory Equipment that will not power on?
If your Harvard Apparatus Laboratory Equipment unit won't power on, first ensure that the power supply cord is securely plugged into both the unit and the outlet. Then, verify that the outlet is live.
What to do if Harvard Apparatus VentElite 55-7040 shows over pressure?
If your Harvard Apparatus Laboratory Equipment indicates over pressure, check for any blockages or kinks in the tubing. Also, make sure the tubing connecting the ventilator and the animal is sufficiently short.
What to do if Harvard Apparatus Laboratory Equipment indicates under pressure?
If your Harvard Apparatus Laboratory Equipment shows under pressure, check the tubing for any leaks. Also, inspect the intubation or tracheotomy site for any leaks.
What to do if Harvard Apparatus VentElite 55-7040 shows occlusion?
If your Harvard Apparatus Laboratory Equipment indicates an occlusion, check for any blockages present between the ventilator and the animal.
