TROUBLE SHOUTING
PROBLEM
POTENTIAL CAUSE
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Device does not
pass initial
calibration
1.
Leak in the patient’s circuit.
2. Gas supply closed.
3. Occlusion of pneumatic
lines.
4. Expiratory valve control.
5. Hose of internal circuit is
disconnected or clogged.
6. Pressure leak.
7. Internal electrical
connections.
1.
Check the patient’s circuit.
2. Open the gas supply valve.
3. Check inlet filters and supply hoses.
4. Check the diaphragm of the
expiratory valve. Verify if it is
correctly connected.
5. Check the equipment internal
connections.
6.
Check the air-tightness of the
pneumatic set with up to 100 cm of
water. In order to do this, connect
the supply gases to the equipment,
and apply a pressure of 100 cm of
water at the outlet of the internal
pneumotachograph. If pressure
drops sharply, then, there is a leak
inside the pneumatic set. Review
Safety Valve and Antisuffocation
Valve.
7. Check the cable of the proportional
valves, and their connection. Check
voltage in the CPU connectors.
Low flow
1. Defective pressure
regulators.
2. Occlusion of pneumatic
lines or internal pneumatic
leaks.
3.
Leaks in the patient’s circuit.
4. Water in the
Pneumotachograph system.
5. Altered flow sensors.
1.
Check and recalibrate pressure of
air and oxygen regulators at 2.8
kg/cm2. Check and recalibrate the
regulator pressure at 10 PCI.
2. Check for loose or kinked filters or
hoses.
3.
Check the patient’s circuit.
4. If there is water in the device,
proceed as indicated below.
5. Check the operation of flow sensors,
and then calibrate them.
High flow
1. Defective pressure
regulators.
2. Poor flow calibration.
3. Altered
pneumotachographs.
4. Altered flow sensors.
5. Extremely high
electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
1. Check and recalibrate pressure of
air and oxygen regulators at 2.8
kg/cm2.
2. Check to see if there is no water in
the device and recalibrate the
pneumotachograph and valves.
3. Ensure there is no water in the
device. Check the operation of flow
sensors, and then calibrate
machine.
4. Check the operation of the flow
sensors.
5. Check for the presence of an
electronic equipment nearby that
may be emitting electromagnetic
waves, and altering the normal
operation of the equipment.
