4.3.2.2 Commonly-encountered Problems and Recommended Actions   
 
Failure description  Possible cause  Recommended action 
[Manual Vent.] is prompted. The 
bag/mechanical ventilation switch 
is set to the bag position. 
Set the bag/mechanical ventilation 
switch to the mechanical 
ventilation position. 
[Drive Gas Pressure Low] is 
alarmed. The pressure indicated by 
the drive gas (O2) pressure gauge 
is lower than 200 kPa. 
Replace or connect the gas supplies 
to make sure that drive gas 
pressure is between 350 and 450 
kPa. 
After [Start] is 
selected, no 
ventilation sound is 
heard. Very soon, 
the prompt message 
of [Calibration 
Failure! Please try 
again.] is displayed. 
Zero point error occurs to the 
inspiratory/expiratory flow sensor. 
Refer to 4.2.4Check the Sensor 
Zero Point. 
Replace the monitor board. 
The sampling line of at least one 
out of the inspiratory flow sensor, 
expiratory flow sensor and 
ventilator flow sensor is not 
connected or is connected in the 
reverse order. Refer to 
5.4Troubleshoot Sensor and Valve 
Related Failures by Using the 
Valves-test Tool. 
Re-connect the sensor sampling 
line. 
The maximum flow to open the 
inspiratory valve is less than 90 
L/min. Refer to 5.4Troubleshoot 
Sensor and Valve Related Failures 
by Using the Valves-test Tool. 
Replace the expiratory valve 
assembly. 
After [Start] is 
selected, ventilation 
sound is heard. Very 
soon, the prompt 
message of 
[Calibration Failure! 
Please try again.] is 
displayed. 
1. The pneumatic circuit 
connection between the anesthesia 
machine calibration device and the 
monitor board has an error. 
2. The communication connection 
between the anesthesia machine 
calibration device and the 
anesthesia machine has an error. 
3. The settings of the anesthesia 
machine calibration device have an 
error. 
1. Check the pneumatic circuit 
connection between the anesthesia 
machine calibration device and the 
monitor board. Re-connect the 
pneumatic circuit if necessary. 
2. Check the communication 
connection between the anesthesia 
machine calibration device and the 
anesthesia machine. Or re-connect 
them to ensure normal 
communication. If the problem 
persists, replace the 
communication cable.
