Chapter 11 - VENTILATOR CHECKOUT TESTS<br />

This chapter details five test procedures accessed through the Vent Check menu and used to verify<br />

the proper operation of the <strong>LTV</strong> ® <strong>1200</strong>. These tests should be performed as shown in the schedule in<br />

Appendix B - Set Up / Maintenance for periodic maintenance and testing of the ventilator.<br />

The five test procedures are:<br />

Test Test used to:<br />

Alarm Test Verify that the audible alarm is working correctly.<br />

Display Test Verify that the ventilator displays are working correctly.<br />

Control Test Verify that the buttons and the Set Value knob are working correctly.<br />

Leak Test Test the patient circuit for leaks.<br />

Vent Inop Alarm Test Verify that the Vent Inop alarm is working correctly.<br />

The Vent Check Menu is set up as follows:<br />

VENT CHECK<br />

ALARM<br />

DISPLAY<br />

CONTROL<br />

LEAK<br />

EXIT<br />

WARNING<br />

Ventilator Checkout Tests –Gas is not delivered to the patient during these tests. Disconnect the<br />

patient from the ventilator and ventilate using an alternative method before running the Ventilator<br />

Checkout tests.<br />

Leak Testing the Patient Breathing Circuit – The patient circuit must be leak tested in VENT<br />

CHECK mode before connection to the patient. Ventilator Checkout mode should also be used to<br />

check for correct operation of the alarms, displays and controls. Harm to the patient or ineffective<br />

ventilation may result from failure to leak test the patient breathing circuit before connection to a<br />

patient. When using a heated humidifier, include it in the circuit when leak testing.<br />

AVERTISSEMENT<br />

Tests de vérification du ventilateur – Noter que le gaz n’est pas transmis au patient au cours de<br />

ces tests. Débrancher le patient du ventilateur et ventiler à l’aide d’une forme de ventilation<br />

alternative avant de procéder aux tests de vérification du ventilateur.<br />

Contrôle de l’étanchéité du circuit respiratoire du patient – L'étanchéité du circuit respiratoire du<br />

patient (vérification de ventilation) doit être vérifiée en mode VENT CHECK avant le raccordement au<br />

patient. En outre, on doit utiliser le mode Ventilator Checkout (vérification du ventilateur) afin de<br />

s’assurer du fonctionnement adéquat de l’alarme, des affichages et des commandes du ventilateur.<br />

Le défaut de vérifier l’étanchéité du circuit respiratoire du patient avant le raccordement à un patient<br />

peut être nocif pour le patient ou provoquer une ventilation inefficace. Lorsqu’un humidificateur<br />

chauffant est employé, il convient de l’inclure dans le circuit en procédant à la vérification de<br />

l’étanchéité.<br />
