If certain tests do not pass, safe ventilation may be
compromised, and the ventilator is rendered inoperative until it
is repaired. This is called a ventilator failure. If certain other
tests do not pass, but ventilation might not be compromised
(subject to a trained operator’s evaluation), this is called a
ventilator fault.
NOTE:
Faults detected during EST may not require the ventilator to
be serviced or removed from use immediately. A trained
operator, however, must evaluate the situation and determine
whether the ventilator can be used. Failures detected during
EST require immediate servicing and removal of the ventilator
from clinical use.
