FIGURE 5-4 Standby Mode
To end the case and enter Standby:
1. Set the Auto/Manual ventilation switch to Manual.
2. Turn off all fresh gas flows by turning their knobs clockwise. Wait until all fresh gas flow
levels are effectively at 0.0 L/min (i.e., flow < 0.05 L/min).
NOTE: The A5/A3 system will not allow the End Case button to be selected
until the Auto/Manual ventilation switch is set to Manual, and system
detects the individual fresh gas flows are effectively turned off (i.e.,
flow < 0.05 L/min).
3. Select the End Case button in the Manual tab (see FIGURE5-2).
4. Follow the screen prompts to end the case and enter Standby mode.
5. To exit Standby, set the Auto/Manual ventilation switch to Manual, then touch the screen
or turn on the fresh gas flow to more than 0.2 L/min of individual gas.
NOTE: To exit Standby by turning on the fresh gas flow, the flow must be
increased to more than 0.2 L/min.
NOTE: The End Case button can be selected only when the system is not in
Standby, all fresh gas flows are off, and the Auto/Manual switch is in the
Manual position.
NOTE: When the system is in Standby mode, the Bypass, Monitor and End Case
buttons in the Manual tab are disabled. However, the Alarms button
remains enabled and can be toggled to On or Off.
WARNING: Selecting End Case to enter Standby mode will stop ventilation and
parameter monitoring. Do not select Standby mode if the patient
requires continuous ventilation.
