4.3.4 Pressure Calibration (Service)
NOTE: Pressure Calibration (Service) is necessary in case of replacing the 
ventilator control board, drive gas assembly or solenoid valve 
assembly.
NOTE: When a great deviation is detected between the measured value of the 
built-in pressure sensor and that of the standard pressure 
measurement device, you need to perform Pressure Calibration 
(Service).
This calibration is intended for the airway pressure sensor in the breathing circuit, PEEP pressure 
sensor and the PEEP valve of the expiratory valve assembly. The standard pressure measurement 
device is used to calibrate the pressure sensors and the PEEP valve.
[00 20 00 00] is 
displayed. 
The maximum value cannot be found. 
1. Diagnose by using the valve 
diagnostic tools: (1) open the 
inspiration valve with 4000DA. The 
flow measured by the calibration 
device can reach at least 90L/min.
(2) close the inspiration valve. 
Increase the opening of inspiration 
valve with certain DA. When the 
flow measured by the calibration 
device is approximately 80L/min, 
based on this DA, increase valve 
opening by 10 DA. The flow 
increase does not exceed 5L/Min. 
It indicates that the point of 
maximum value is possible (not 
found by the software). Re-
calibration is recommended.
2. Replace the inspiration valve.
[00 40 00 00] is 
displayed. 
The minimum value cannot be found.
1. Diagnose by using the valve 
diagnostic tools: open the 
inspiration valve within the range 
of 0~2000DA. The AD value 
collected by the inspiratory flow 
sensor has the tendency of 
becoming bigger. Re-calibration is 
recommended. 
2. Replace the inspiration valve. 
[FF FF FF FF] is 
displayed. 
Communication error occurs. 
1. Restart the machine. 
2. Check the communication cable. 
3. Check for communication error 
alarm messages. Replace the 
board.
