6.1.1 Flow sensor
Flow sensors can be calibrated in the upper half of the Calibration menu.
To calibrate a Neonatal Flow sensor, select the Neonatal button.
To calibrate a Pediatric Flow sensor, select the Pediatric button.
The Calibration procedure is identical for both types of flow sensors and described below.
Ensure that gas will NOT flow through
the Flow sensor during Calibration.
The sensor can be held occluding
either one or both ends with a sterile
glove to ensure no gas flow.
Figure 6-3: Flow sensor manipulation
Press the Flow Cal button.
If the ventilator is in a Trigger Function
mode, the function is deactivated
during calibration and respiration will
continue in IPPV mode.
First “Checking” will appear, then
“Calibration running”.
The Red lines in the diagram (see
illustration on the right) move
from left to right, until they are
centered in this diagram. When
centered, these lines will turn
Green.
Following successful Calibration,
the Date of the last calibration
will be displayed in the
corresponding area.
