System operation 51
fabian HFO | SW 5.1.x
Ref: 113003.EN / Date 2020-02-10
After the system test is complete, the
Calibration menu will appear.
Perform Flow sensor calibration.
6. Select the appropriate Flow sensor
(neonatal or pediatric) and set the
patient’s body weight to see the
V
Te
BW [mL / kg] measurement.
7. The O
2
will automatically be
calibrated after leaving the
Calibration menu and calibration will
be repeated once every 24 hours.
8. etCO
2
and SpO
2
modules can be
switched ON here as well.
For more information on both modules,
refer to the following:
EtCO
2
: section “12.2: etCO2 monitoring”.
SpO
2
: section “12.3: SpO2 module”.
All audible alarms are silenced for
2 minutes.
Always perform a device check before each ventilator use or after changing the patient
circuit.
The fabian ventilator does not automatically compensate gas fraction measurements
for changes in barometric pressure during use. The oxygen sensor is calibrated in the
hospital prior to use and this calibration remains in effect. This calibration process is
part of the normal pre-use checks for the ventilator. The pre-use calibration should not
be skipped if the ventilator has been moved to a location with significant change in
altitude.
1. Attach high pressure Air and Oxygen
supply hoses to the inlets on the rear panel
of the ventilator.
2. Connect hoses with the corresponding wall
outlets.
Air and Oxygen supply hoses
are correctly connected
Connect the following:
• Expiration membrane holder and expiration
membrane
• Patient breathing circuit tubes
• Water traps (if needed)
• Respiratory humidifier and tube heating
• Flow sensor
Expiration membrane holder
and membrane correctly
installed.
Patient circuit assembled
correctly according to
manufacturer’s instructions
