Operating Instructions
Preoperational
Procedure
The preoperational procedure verifies that the ventilator is ready for use on a
patient.
Follow these steps:
1. Follow the setup procedures in Chapter 5, “Setup”, to prepare the
ventilator for use.
2. Connect the patient circuit to be used on the next patient.
3. Install any components that are to be used in line with the patient
circuit (for example, humidifier, O
2
monitor, or airway temperature
monitors).
4. Ensure that the ventilator is not on a patient!
5. Hold down the ALARM RESET and 100% O
2
keys while the ventilator
is powered up. The operator must confirm that the machine should be
in Diagnostic Mode (Figure 8-36).

WARNING: Ensure that an alternative means of ventilation (that is, a resuscitator or
similar device) is available while the ventilator is in use on a patient.
WARNING: DO NOT perform the preoperational procedure when the ventilator is on a
patient.
NOTE: All components of the patient circuit must not have leaks in order to
pass SST.
