What to do if my Percussionaire Bronchotron® shuts down?
If your Percussionaire Bronchotron® shuts down, first check the tubing for any obstructions. If you find no obstruction, the device requires servicing.
What to do if my Percussionaire Bronchotron Transport System Medical Equipment fails to maintain pressure?
If your Percussionaire Medical Equipment fails to maintain pressure, first adjust the mask or airway to ensure there are no leaks. If the issue persists, there may be an internal leak, requiring professional servicing.
Why is the pressure or frequency of percussion not correct on my Percussionaire Bronchotron Transport System?
If the pressure or frequency of percussion is incorrect on your Percussionaire Medical Equipment, the device likely requires calibration, and servicing is necessary.
How to troubleshoot a Percussionaire Bronchotron® that will not start?
If your Percussionaire Bronchotron® will not start, make sure it is connected to a gas source. If it's connected, check that the regulator is on by rotating the regulator knob clockwise.
