How do I check
the device?
• A P.O.S.T. will run automatically
when the device is switched on
• To run a function test, select
ADULT DEFAULTS setting,
connect a test lung, fill bellows
with oxygen, select VOLUME
CYCLE mode
• After 10 breaths check the
bellows returns to the top of the
housing. Check on the screen
that the tidal volume is between
600ml- 800 ml
• Remove the test lung and
occlude the patient ‘Y’ piece to
check the HIGH AIRWAY
PRESSURE alarm; unocclude
the patient ‘Y’ piece to check the
LOW AIRWAY PRESSURE
alarm

What do the
alarms mean?
1. Pressure jumps excessively
at beginning of inspiration:
• Airway obstruction OR Flow rate is
too high; decrease TV setting
2. Pressure jumps excessively
at end of inspiration:
• TV setting is too high; decrease TV
frequency setting OR,
• Could be caused by mucous
plugging; patient requires
suctioning.
*
3. Sudden increase in patient
airway pressure:
• Tube kinking, coughing,
asynchrony or other obstructions
4. Inflation pressure too low:
• Leak in the circuit or disconnection;
check hose or connections
• Check ventilation parameters and
that patient valve is functioning
7
*
• Procedures such as suctioning will cause a loss of pressure
within the circuit and emptying of the bellows
• To offset, increase the oxygen flow by turning the flow knob (IMAGE A)
anticlockwise past the point that the bobbin is at the top of the flow tube
• Return to 9L/min immediately after reconnection and check ventilation
• Use the touch screen or the dial ,
pressing to confirm
• In the ADULT DEFAULTS setting, VOLUME
mode, the parameters that can be changed
are: frequency, tidal volume, pressure limit,
I:E ratio, PEEP
• Use the display screen to monitor parameters.
The default waveform is always Pressure vs.
Time (cmH2O vs. seconds) (image D)
• Start in Volume Controlled Ventilation
(Section 3)
• Select ‘PRESS’ on the display screen
and press once
• Set TARGET to 35 cmH

O
• Select by pushing grey knob
• Ventilation starts
• Set Rate to 20, I:E 1:2, PEEP to 15
using (with a compliant test lung / bag
large tidal volumes will be delivered)
• Check Oxygen reads 80%
• Attach to patient AND Check Tidal Volumes
