5.4.3 Preparations before Using Diagnostic Tests
Make the following preparations before using the valves-test tool to locate the valves or sensors
related failures:
1. Connect the pneumatic circuit according to the type of sensor or valve to be checked.
Before using the Diagnostic Tests Menu: connect the tubes of the anesthesia machine following
the constant-flow connection method to check the flow sensors and inspiratory valve. For
details, refer to ‘‘If measurement deviations are not corrected after multiple flow sensor
calibrations, the user is recommended to replace the flow sensor and then perform calibration. If
the problem persists, factory maintenance is necessary.’’ on page 4-18.
2. Make sure that the supply gas pressure is within specifications.
3. When the system is in Standby, select the [Setup] shortcut key > [Service] > [Diagnostic Tests] to
access the [Diagnostic Tests] menu.
5.4.4 Zero Points of Flow & Pressure Sensors Problems
