What to do when the Inop alarm activates on Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If the Inop alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, immediately provide the patient with an alternate source of ventilation. Press the On/Off button again to restart the device. If the device remains inoperative, contact your local Ventec Life Systems representative for service.
What should I do if the high PEEP alarm activates on my Ventec Life Systems VOCSN?
If the High PEEP alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, and you are using an Active patient circuit, ensure the multilumen tube is tightly connected to the device and the exhalation valve. Note that if the alarm occurs while the patient is breath stacking, it is working as intended. Check for auto-triggering and adjust the Flow Trigger control setting if needed. If the problem persists, replace the patient circuit.
What causes a high minute volume alarm on Ventec Life Systems VOCSN Medical Equipment?
If the High Minute Volume alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, ensure the alarm is set appropriately for the patient's breath rate plus spontaneous rate. Check if the monitored breath rate is high; if so, check for auto-triggering and adjust the Flow Trigger control setting if needed. If you are using an active Ventec One-Circuit and humidifier, clear any condensation from the active exhalation valve.
How to fix a Ventec Life Systems VOCSN that will not power on?
If your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment won't power on, it might be because the internal and removable batteries are fully discharged. Plug the device into a functional wall outlet that is not controlled by a switch. Alternatively, the device may require service, so contact Ventec Life Systems for assistance.
Why is the performance of my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment changing?
If you notice changes in the performance of your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, move it away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as MRI equipment, medical imaging systems, security systems, appliances, wireless communications equipment, computers, and televisions. You can also try restarting the device by pressing the On/Off button. If the issue persists, contact Ventec Life Systems for service.
What causes the batteries to not charge on Ventec Life Systems VOCSN?
If the batteries on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment are not charging, verify that the device is not close to a heat source and move it to a cooler location if required. Also, check if the fan filter is clogged and clean it.
Why is abnormally warm gas flowing through the Ventec One-Circuit on my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If abnormally warm gas is flowing through the Ventec One-Circuit of your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, the air filter may be clogged; clean and replace it, replacing it if damaged. Ensure the device is properly ventilated, away from cluttered areas or heat sources. Contact Ventec Life Systems for service if the issue persists.
Why is my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment enclosure abnormally warm?
If the Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment enclosure is abnormally warm, the air and/or fan filter may be clogged. Clean and replace the air and fan filter. If the filters appear damaged, replace them.
What should I do if the patient circuit disconnect alarm activates on my Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If the Patient Circuit Disconnect alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, check the VOCSN Leak monitor and resolve any unintentional leaks in the patient circuit or around the patient interface. Run a Pre-Use Test and ensure the Circuit Type control matches the type of circuit connected to the device. If the problem persists, replace the patient circuit.
How do I resolve a low breath rate alarm on Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment?
If the Low Breath Rate alarm activates on your Ventec Life Systems Medical Equipment, ensure the alarm limit is set appropriately for the patient's breath rate plus spontaneous rate. Check the patient and waveforms to determine if the patient is attempting to initiate breaths; if not, the alarm is working as intended. Check that all connected components are clean and not clogged, and ensure the Flow Trigger control is set appropriately. For Active circuits, turn on Leak Compensation if needed. If the problem persists, replace the patient circuit.
