Failure description Possible cause Recommended action
Leak test failure is 
prompted immediately 
after [Start] is selected 
(typically, the leak test 
requires at least 3 minutes).
The Auto/Manual ventilation switch is set 
to the bag position and the message 
[Manual Vent.] is prompted.
Set the Auto/Manual ventilation 
switch to the mechanical 
ventilation position.
The reading on the drive gas (O2) 
pressure gauge indicates drive gas 
pressure low (lower than 200 kPa) and the 
alarm of [Drive Gas Pressure Low] is 
produced.
Replace or connect gas supplies 
and make sure that the drive gas 
pressure is at 350 to 450 kPa.
During leak test, the 
pressure indicated by the 
airway pressure gauge fails 
to reach 30 cmH2O.
1. Before the leak test, the bellows is not 
fully inflated.
2. The Y piece on the breathing tube is 
not connected to the test plug.
3. The bellows housing is not properly 
installed.
Check the connections of the 
pneumatic circuit and re-install 
the pneumatic circuit.
