2. If the AD of the zero point of each sensor is 
within the valid range, check whether the 
software of the VCM board is compatible with 
the system software version. If incompatible, 
upgrade the software of the VCM board to the 
compatible version. If compatible, perform the 
factory pressure calibration. If the problem 
persists after the calibration, replace the

  For VCM: 
1. The monitored 
value of PEEP sensor 
or Paw sensor is out of 
range. 
2. The zero point of 
the PEEP sensor or 
Paw sensor is 
abnormal. 
3. The PEEP sensor is 
reversely connected. 
1. Check whether the pressure sampling line is 
connected correctly.   
2. Zero the pressure and flow of each sensor.   
3. Check whether the AD of the zero point of 
each sensor is within the valid range. If the AS 
is out of range, replace the ventilator control 
board or VCM board assembly.   
4. If the AD of the zero point of each sensor is 
within the valid range, check whether the 
software of the VCM board is compatible with 
the system software version. If incompatible, 
upgrade the software of the VCM board to the 
compatible version. If compatible, perform the
