4b.9.3 Pressure
Sensitivity Calibration
The software prompts the user to perform the procedure to calibrate the
pressure sensitivity. This calibration is not an automated calibration. It
prompts the user to follow a set of procedural steps to perform the
calibration. This calibration calculates the pressure sensitivity at four different
pressures. It uses these four different pressure points along with the
inspiratory flow and expiratory flow zero offsets to find the pressure
sensitivity. If the calculations for the pressure sensitivity are not within the
correct tolerance, the calibration fails. If the calibration passed, the four
pressure sensitivity points are stored in the EEPROM.
Note
This pressure transducer calibration must be performed if the SIB assembly or
CPU board is replaced.
The Pressure Sensitivity Calibration can not be successfully performed using a
Bain/Mapleson D breathing circuit module. Install a Circle module to perform
the calibration.

Flow Sensor Leak Test:
1. Select “Display A/D Channels” from the main service menu.
Set Fresh gas flow to 2 LPM.
Open the APL valve (0 cm H
2
O).
Place Bag to Vent switch in the Bag/APL position.
Connect a short tube between the inspiratory and expiratory flow sensors.
The airway pressure, inspiratory flow and expiratory flow on the ventilator
display should read near zero (b0.5 and -0.5 LPM flows).
2. Occlude the bag port. Adjust the APL to read 10 cm H
2
O on the gauge. The
flow may jump briefly, but should stabilize to read b0.5 and -0.5
LPM. Very gently push the tubes coming from the flow sensors slightly in all
directions. Observe to see if the flow measurements jump.

Caution
If either sensor reads more than 2 LPM, STOP. This indicates a possible
leak in the flow sensor pneumatic circuit. Skip steps 3 and 4, go directly
to step 5. If the pressure is increased further, the SIB may be damaged.
