RCS Procedures (Remote Calibration System)
ZOLL's ventilator service tool, the Remote Calibration System (Figure 1) is needed to complete the PM process, and
thereby reset the PM/Calibration Due alarm (#3120). The RCS can be purchased from ZOLL Medical, however it’s
sale is restricted to only authorized customers and service partners. The RCS is intended for use by biomedical
professionals who have been trained on it’s use by ZOLL Medical.
In addition to automating and documenting the PM process, the RCS is capable of calibrating the ventilator and
installing and verifying software upgrades and updates. If you have not been trained on the RCS procedures, or do
not have access to an RCS, ventilators can be returned to ZOLL for calibration or calibration may be performed on-
site by a field service technician. Contact ZOLL Technical support in order to inquire.
The RCS performs both testing and calibration of the ventilator by processing the ventilator through a series of
discrete tests. Discrete tests may be performed individually to aid in troubleshooting, or in part of a larger sequence
such as:
• Incoming System Testing
• Complete Calibration
• Outgoing System Testing
A description of each discrete test along with an overview of the 13 step calibration and testing process can be
found on the following pages.
Figure 1- RCS Kit. Note: Depending on the RCS Kit configuration, the Laptop is an optional component.
The Masimo tester is not included in either configuration and must be purchased separately.
NOTE:
The TSI Flow Module requires yearly calibration. Do not attempt to start ventilator calibration without first
checking the last calibration date for the TSI Flow Module. For additional information on RCS inspection,
storage and maintenance see the chapter titled “RCS Maintenance” within the RCS Operator’s Guide.
