Before Connecting the Ventilator to a Patient
Perform the following steps before connecting the ventilator to a patient:
1) If this is the initial use of the ventilator, follow the checkout procedures in Appendix C -
Installation and Checkout before proceeding.
2) If desired, you may connect the ventilator to a Patient Assist Call system. See Appendix C -
Installation and Checkout for details.
3) If required, connect a low pressure oxygen source to the ventilator. See Appendix C -
Installation and Checkout for connection and setup details.
4) Connect the Patient Circuit. To keep moisture out of the sense line(s) attached at the patient
wye, be sure to connect the exhalation valve and circuit to the wye so the proximal sense line(s)
are oriented up (see below, flow sensing patient circuit shown). Connect a test lung to the circuit.
5) Set any desired extended features options. For a detailed list of extended features see Chapter
10 - Extended Features.
6) Select the ventilation mode and all controls, including PEEP, to prescribed values. Detailed
procedures for setting each mode are included later in this chapter.
