17.8 Forward Jet Pressure Regulator Calibration
a) Set up the ventilator to CMV mode and set the following parameters:
BPM to 30
Insp. time to 1.5 sec
Set the PIP control to 60 mbar
PEEP to 0
b) Adjust the Forward Jet Gain to achieve 60 mbar ± 1 mbar
on the plateau of the Inspiratory phase.
c) Set the PIP to 5 mbar and adjust the Forward Jet CMV
Offset to achieve 5 mbar ± 1 mbar on the plateau. Repeat
steps b to c until the set and measured agree within 1 mbar.
d) Verify mean pressure setting by setting the following PIP pressures and
verifying the displayed pressure in the pressure display bar.
Set PIP Pressure Acceptable tolerance:
0 mbar +1 mbar
5 mbar ±1 mbar
10 mbar ±1 mbar
20 mbar ±1 mbar
30 mbar ±1 mbar
40 mbar ±1 mbar
50 mbar ±1 mbar
60 mbar ±1 mbar
max. >63 mbar
