Newport Breeze E150 - Tidal Volume; Total Rate

5. If the peak pressure drops more than 5 cmH20 in 1 minute,
check the entire circuit for leakage.
NOTE: There will be an initial pressure drop due to compliance of
the circuit and expiratory pressure conditions at the
exhalation valve. This drop will be fairly rapid after which
the pressure should hold steady. The actual leakage
would
be slower and the pressure would drop down finally
to
0 cmH 20.
11. TIDAL VOLUME
Verify that the Tidal Volume displayed by the unit for the
following settings of flow and
lnspiratory Time.
Flow(LPM)
I .T.(sec) calculated value
30
1
.O 0.5
20
2.0 0.67
40
3.0 2.0
12. TOTAL RATE
1. Set the Resp. Rate to 10 BPM.
2. Verify that unit displays Total Rate of 10 BPM. after 1 minute.
3. Initiate spontaneous breaths which are detected by the trigger
level (Effort LED glows when breath is sensed
i.e. when
manometer needle passes through trigger level setting).
4. Verify that the total rate displayed is the total of the machine
breaths delivered by the machine and the mechanical
(spontaneous) breaths detected by the trigger level.
5. Set Resp. Rate to 150 BPM.
6. Verify that the unit displays Total Rate of 150 BPM after 1
minute.
