Symptoms Possible Causes What to Do
Failed calibration. Recalibrate the ventilator. See Chapter 6 -
Maintenance & Calibration for instructions.
If the problem reoccurs after careful
recalibration, a transducer may be drifting
excessively. Perform the Advanced Vte
Diagnostic Procedures, see page 7-23.
O
2
inlet pressure too high
when Low O
2
Source
selected.
O
2
inlet flow too high when
Low O
2
Source selected.
Verify the low pressure O
2
inlet has been
correctly calculated and set using the
Input O
2
Flow Chart.
Pulmonetic Systems recommends the use
of an O
2
monitor to verify delivered O
2
%.
Adjust the entrained O
2
flow so the
monitored value shows the desired FIO
2
.
(See the LTV

1200 Ventilator Operator's
Manual for information on using the Low
O
2
Source and O

Low O
2
Source incorrectly
selected.
Verify that the Low O
2
Source is on when
using a low flow, low pressure source and
off when using a high pressure source.
(See the LTV

Flow valve output is low.
Perform the Advanced FiO

Diagnostic
Procedures, see page 7-27.
Failed calibration.
Recalibrate the vent. See Chapter 6 -
Maintenance & Calibration for instructions.
If the problem reoccurs after careful
recalibration, a transducer may be drifting
excessively. Replace the analog board.
See Analog Board Assembly in Chapter 8
for instructions.
Internal flexible tubing
occluded or pinched.
Internal flexible tubing has
pinhole leaks or leaking at
connections.
Open the vent and verify that none of the
flexible tubes connected to the solenoid
manifold, analog board, oxygen blender or
flow valve are pinched or leaking. See
Solenoid Manifold Assembly or Analog
Board Assembly in Chapter 8 for routing.
Defective or leaking
solenoid manifold.
Defective solenoid.
Replace the solenoid manifold. See
Solenoid Manifold Assembly in Chapter 8
for instructions.
