the preceding step, replace the 
monitoring and controlling assembly 
(refer to 11.1.11). If the problem persists, 
replace the vaporizer base valve 
assembly (refer to 11.1.12). 
Auto/Manual 
Switch Failure 
High 
The auto/manual switch 
malfunctions. 
Handle the problem as the switchover 
failure by referring to 7.4.2 after the 
auto/manual switch is used. 
Vaporizer Lock 
Device Failure 
High 
The status of the drive 
gas pilot valve of the 
vaporizer is inconsistent 
with that of the actual 
position switch. 
1. Ensure that the O2 supply is sufficient. 
2. Reinstall the electronic vaporizer. 
3. If the problem persists, remove the 
electronic vaporizer. Select Setup > 
Service > Data Monitors > Flow Test. 
On the Diagnostics screen, set the 
pneumatic locking valves of vaporizer 1 
and vaporizer 2 to On. Check whether 
the pneumatic lock on the guide rail of 
the electronic vaporizer pops up. 
4. If the pneumatic lock cannot pop up, 
disassemble the drive pipe of the lock, 
and perform step 3 to check whether any 
drive gas ejects. 
5. If drive gas ejects in step 4, replace the 
pneumatic lock assembly (refer to 
11.4.1). 
6. If no drive gas ejects in step 4, replace 
the vaporizer base valve assembly (refer 
to 11.1.12). If the problem persists, 
replace the monitoring and controlling 
assembly (refer to 11.1.11).

Handle the problem in the same way that 
the "O2 Supply Failure" alarm is 
handled. 
Esophageal 
Pressure Sensor 
Failure 
Med 
The esophageal pressure 
sensor cannot be 
detected during use. 
1. Check whether the auxiliary pressure 
accessory is properly installed and 
connected. 
2. Disassemble the auxiliary output 
assembly (refer to 8.1.2), and check 
whether the silicone tube of the auxiliary 
pressure sensor is folded, pressed, or 
falls off. (The auxiliary pressure sensor 
is the first sensor on the left of the sensor 
adapter board.) 
3. If the connection of the sampling line 
is OK, replace the sensor adapter board 
Calibrate

Low 
calibration table is found 
on the VCM of a 
machine configured with 
1. Perform the pressure calibration again 
(refer to 6.3.5). 
2. If the problem persists after the 
calibration, replace the monitoring and 
controlling assembly (refer to 11.1.11).
