Newport e360 - Pressure Control; Pressure Support; Pressure Trigger Sensitivity

Pressure Control
1 Set the calibration analyzer to peak pressure measurement in
cmH
2
O.
2 Set Pressure Limit to 10 cmH
2
O, and t Insp to 3.0 seconds.
3 Verify that the value of Ppeak displayed on Numeric
screen, the peak pressure measured by the calibration
analyzer and the
Pressure Limit setting are within tolerance
of ±10% among each other. Record the readings on the Test
Record.
4 Repeat step 3 with Pressure Limit setting of 20 cmH
2
O.
5 Repeat step 3 with Pressure Limit setting of 50 cmH
2
O.
Pressure Support
1 Set the e360 ventilator to Pressure Control SPONT.
2 Set Trig to P (pressure) and adjust to 0.5 cmH
2
O.
3 Set Pressure Support to 10 cmH
2
O.
4 Squeeze the test lung to trigger a breath. Verify that the value
of
Ppeak displayed on Numeric screen, the peak
pressure measured by the calibration analyzer and the
Pressure Support setting are within tolerance of ± 10%
among each other
. Record the readings on the Test Record.
5 Repeat step 4 with Pressure Support for setting of 20
cmH
2
O.
6 Set Pressure Support to 0 cmH
2
O, and verify no pressure-
supported breaths are delivered.
Pressure Trigger Sensitivity
