Turn OFF unit and turn ON again. Verify that the LED'S light up and
the alarm sounds momentarily before the unit resumes cycling as
per the settings.
2. ALARM LOUDNESS
A. Disconnect breathing circuit at the main flow outlet. Verify that
the
low pressure alarm sounds.
B.
Rotate the alarm loudness knob and verify that the alarm
volume increases or decreases as the knob is turned.
3.
FLOW
A.
S~ontaneous Flow
1.
Connect main flow outlet of the unit to RT-200 with a 24" large
bore tube.
2. Set the RT-200 to read flows.
3.
Set ventilator to spontaneous mode.
4.
Attach a reservoir bag (or plug) at the reservoir outlet.
5.
Adjust spontaneous flow to various settings and verify that flow
is within
+
2 LPM of the displayed value.
Calibration method for spontaneous flow
1.
Disengage potentiometer on spontaneous flow assembly on
the back of the front panel. This is done by loosening the screw
on the gear on the
potentiometer.(use
1.5
mm allen wrench)
2. Adjust display to read the same as the actual flow read by the
RT-200, by turning the shaft of the pot.
3.
Tighten the screw on the gear of the pot to re-engage it
electrically to the spontaneuous flow assembly.
4.
Verify calibration. (Tolerance range
+
3
LPM).
