Performance verification 5
Conduct the performance verification to check the performance of the Puritan Bennett™
840™ Ventilator System. Field performance verification testing includes electrical safety tests,
the extended self test (EST), plus specific performance verification tests, using the
Puritan Bennett PTS 2000 Performance Test System with Puritan Bennett 840 VTS software. A
manual ventilator check can be performed to check general ventilator performance.
NOTE:
Performance verification procedures do not apply to ventilator accessories. Refer
to the specific accessory operator’s or service manual for performance verification
information. Malfunctioning accessories may affect some ventilator functions and
may result in false test results.

In addition to the standard set of tools listed in Chapter 1 of this manual, the test
equipment and materials listed in Table 5-1 are required for performance verification
procedures. Specific parts required for conducting the performance verification,
