Newport Breeze E150 - Peak Inspiratory Pressure; Leakage Test; Setting the PIP

9. PEAK INSPIRATORY PRESSURE [PIP)
1. Turn mode control to SlMV or A/C plateau mode.
2. Attach a standard 750
C.C. test lung to breathing circuit.
3. Set Respiratory Rate control to 10 BPM and lnspiratory Time to
3.0 sec.
4. Turn the PIP to control knob clockwise till the pressure plateau
of 60
cmH20 is reached.
5. If unable to obtain 60 cmH20 then use the following steps.
Setting the PIP:
1. Set the flow on the unit to 20 LPM.
2. Loosen the knob on the control and set the PIP on
the unit to
60
cmH20.
3. Allow the unit to cycle and verify that the PIP is 60cm.H20.
4. Push knob on face of panel and retighten knob.
10. LEAKAGE TEST
1. Attach a 50 C.C. infant test lung on breathing
circuit.
2. Turn PEEP control to maximum.
3. Set mode control to spontaneous mode.
4. Depress manual switch and observe peak pressure
on manometer. Obtain a pressure of 50
- 70 cmH20.
CAUTION :Do not depress manual switch for more than 0.2 sec. to
avoid damage to the manometer. Repeat if required.
