17. Set the bag/vent switch on the absorber to Vent.

18. Run the ventilator in volume control mode with the following settings:

• Volume = 250 ml

• BPM = 8

• I:E = 1:2

• PEEP = OFF

19. Wait for the ventilator to stabilize.

For ventilators with front panel software 10.XX installed, use a

pediatric ﬂ ow sensor when performing this step. Place the ventila-

tor in Standby. On the ventilator display, change the sensor set-

20. Check that the inspired volume (VTI) on the ﬂ ow measuring device is

250 ± 25 ml. Once complete, switch the ventilator back to adult mode and

use the adult ﬂ ow sensor for the remaining checks.

21. Increase the tidal volume to 500 ml. Wait for the ventilator to stabilize.
