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 />
