High Flow Oxygen Therapy System Check
Be sure that the ventilator is prepared for mechanical ventilation
in an emergency scenario. It is recommended that a full
(dual-limb) system check be completed prior to use of the
O2 Therapy feature with a single-limb configuration.
To ensure the proper function of the system, it is highly
recommended to complete a System Check before use and
between patients. Failure to complete a System Check may
result in inaccurate delivery and monitoring.

O2 Therapy is allowed even if the safety relief valve test
fails during the system check.
