What to do if ventilation pressure is implausibly high with Lowenstein Medical Equipment?
If the ventilation pressure is implausibly high, it may be due to accessories increasing the flow resistance. Try exchanging the breathing circuit or filter. Also, remove or prevent condensate in the breathing circuit.
How to fix a Lowenstein Medical Equipment when a USB stick is not detected?
If the USB stick is not being detected, the issue might be incorrect formatting. The elisa 300 / elisa 500 devices only support a FAT32-formatted USB stick. Ensure the USB stick is formatted with a standard operating system like Windows.
What to do if connected accessories don't work with Lowenstein Medical Equipment?
If a connected accessory isn't working, the function may not be configured for the user or it may have been configured for another interface. You can review the current interface configuration on the “Status” tab by selecting the second view.
What causes a different measured PEEP value from the set value in Lowenstein Medical Equipment?
A difference between measured and set PEEP values can be caused by contamination of the PEEP membrane with medication residue after a drug nebulization procedure. This can happen if the expiratory filter is missing or unsuitable, or if the replacement interval is too long. To resolve this, exchange the expiratory valve and install a suitable expiratory filter for drug nebulization, or choose a shorter replacement interval.
How to display a required reading on Lowenstein Medical Equipment?
If a required reading, ventilation mode, function, parameter, or curve is not displayed, it is possible that the desired function or display has not been configured for the user. Please contact the responsible person in your ward or your service technician.
