Leak Test
The leak test is used to test the patient circuit for leaks.
To run the leak test:
1) At the end of the control test, LEAK shows in the LED display window.
2) Attach a patient circuit with all accessories (such as water traps, heated circuits and
humidifiers to the patient circuit).
3) Connect the patient circuit to the ventilator.
4) With a clean, gloved hand or 4”X4” gauze pad, occlude the proximal end of the patient
circuit.
5) Press Select while
LEAK is displayed.
NOTE
• The leak test cannot be run until the ventilator has been running for 60 seconds. If you
attempt to run the leak test before the warm-up period has completed, a WAITING
message will be displayed. When the warm-up period is complete, the leak test menu is
redisplayed.
