User Config
The User Config function allows you to:
• Set the date and time when first setting up the ventilator.
• Set the altitude for the location of the ventilator. This setting allows for
more accurate tidal volume delivery.
• Enable or disable the automatic patient circuit compliance
compensation feature. Compliance compensation corrects the
delivered volumes of VCV mandatory breaths for patient circuit
compliance. It also corrects all exhaled volume for patient circuit
compliance volume. The COMPLIANCE button is grey when
compliance compensation is disabled and white when compliance
compensation is enabled.
• Set the time format (AM/PM or 24 hour).
• Enable or disable the confirmation that the backup battery is
connected each time that the machine powers on.
Diagnostic Codes
The Diagnostic Codes function allows you to review the diagnostic log in
ventilator memory.
To view the diagnostic codes, press the DIAGNOSTIC CODE button on the
diagnostic screen. The ventilator displays the following information:
• Number: Diagnostic codes are numbered in reverse order of
occurrence (most recent first).
• Code: The number assigned to a specific diagnostic code; used in
determining the cause of a possible failure.
• Repeat: If the same code occurs consecutively, this parameter will be
incremented rather than creating a new entry in the log. For example,
if the diagnostic code 1002 occurs three consecutive times, it is
logged as diagnostic code 1002 and the repeat column is 2. The
repeat column increments until a different diagnostic code occurs.
• Time: Diagnostic codes are time stamped in hour:minute:second
format (for example: 09:15:23). When the same diagnostic code
repeats, the time stamp represents the most recent occurrence of the
diagnostic code.
• Date: Diagnostic codes are date stamped in month/day/year format (for
example: 03/12/98). When the same diagnostic code repeats, the date
stamp represents the most recent occurrence of the diagnostic code.
• Corrupted: The microprocessor cross checks the data in memory prior
to display. If it determines that the memory contents have been
corrupted, it logs a YES indicating that the memory contents validity is
suspect.
