Check tubing for kinks,
blockages, disconnects.
Calibrate the flow
sensors.
System Leak? Medium Delivered volumes do not
match set volumes.
If you are using Heliox, select
Heliox on the ventilator setup
menu. Look for leaks in the
manifold. Compare set to
delivered volumes.
Calibrate the flow
sensors.
Drain water buildup
from the breathing
system.

1. When power is first turned on.
2. Flow sensors are also used to measure pressures.
3. The sustained pressure threshold is calculated from the pressure limit setting. When mechanical ventilation is on, the sustained limit is calculated as
follows: for pressure limits < 30 cmH
2
O, the sustained pressure limit is 6 cmH
2
O; for Plimit between 30 and 60 cmH
2
O, the sustained limit is 20% of
the pressure limit (Plimit); for pressure limits > 60 cmH
2
O, the sustained pressure limit is 12 cmH
2
O. If both PEEP and mechanical ventilation are on,
the sustained pressure limit increases by PEEP - 2 cmH
2
O (the compensated weight of the bellows). When mechanical ventilation is off, the sustained
pressure limit is calculated as follows: for pressure limits ≤ 60 cmH
2
O, the sustained pressure limit is 50% of the pressure limit (Plimit); for pressure
limits > 60 cmH
2
O, the sustained pressure limit is 30 cmH
