7 Troubleshooting
This chapter presents principle problems and their possible solutions.
Problem
Possible Causes
Solutions
Low Battery Alarm
End of internal battery after usage
without power source.
Immediately re-establish the equipment
connection to the power supply or turn
off the equipment and provide for
another ventilatory supporting means to
the patient.
Failure on system’s internal battery,
even with power source.
Disconnection Alarm
Disconnect the respiratory circuit.
Locate the disconnection and connect
firmly.
Lack of Inspiratory Flow.
Verify the existence of an inspiratory
flow and increase it, if necessary.
Alteration of Patient’s Respiratory
Mechanics.
Establish new parameters for
ventilatory support.
Exhalation valve diaphragm mounted
incorrectly or damaged.
Place the diaphragm in the right
position or substitute the diaphragm.
Failure on pressure control electronic
system.
Request Technical Assistance.
Communication failure alarm
Electronic failure
Request Technical Assistance
High Pressure Alarm
Alteration of Patient’s Respiratory
Mechanics.
Establish suitable parameters for the
ventilatory support.
Obstruction of respiratory circuit’s
expiratory Limb or its exhalation
valve.
Unblock the circuit or reposition the
respiratory valve diaphragm.
Obstruction of the patient’s airways.
Remove obstructions or aspirate the
patient’s airways.
Inspiratory pressure monitored is
greater than expected.
Check the setting of inspiratory
pressure (absolute), whose value is the
sum of the controlled pressure (relative)
with PEEP.
Automatic Tube Compensation
(ATC) is on.
(1)
Turn off or set to automatic
compensation of the tube.
Low Pressure Alarm
Alteration of Patient’s Respiratory
Mechanics.
Establish new parameters for
ventilatory support.
Excessive leakage on respiratory
circuit.
Locate leakage and correct it.
Power Source Alarm
Disconnection from electric power
cord.
Immediately re-establish the equipment
connection to the power supply, or use
the equipment with internal battery for
transport.
Failure in power grid.
Re-establish the power supply.
Inoperative Alarm
Electronic Failure
