Test Function Comments<br />

Checks the operation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

backup alarm circuit.<br />

Fault if not passed.<br />

Overriding a fault could<br />

cause inaccurate monitoring<br />

<strong>of</strong> exhaled volume or lead to<br />

damage to the ventilator’s<br />

flow sensor or exhalation<br />

valve.<br />

Failure if not passed.<br />

If alarm is audible press<br />

ACCEPT. If not, press CLEAR.<br />

Fault if not passed. If alarm<br />

is audible press ACCEPT.<br />

If not, press CLEAR.<br />

Overriding a fault could<br />

cause no backup audible<br />

alarm in case the main<br />

audible alarm fails.<br />

NOTE:<br />

Faults detected during SST may require removing<br />

the ventilator from clinical use immediately and<br />

servicing it. A trained operator, however, must<br />

evaluate the situation and determine whether the<br />

ventilator can be used. Failures detected during SST<br />

require rerunning SST (using the alarm reset key).<br />

It is not possible to exit SST if SST fails. If SST<br />

continues to fail, the ventilator must be removed<br />

from service.<br />
