This procedure is necessary to calibrate the opening of proportional valves, which regulate the air and
oxygen flows and must be performed in case of E16 error or flow values extremely out of tolerance.
To perform the equipment auto-calibration, follow the procedures here below indicated:
• at switched-off equipment, press the LOW and PSV-PCV buttons at the same time and then press
the ON button (the front panel lights-on)
• at the - beep - issued by the equipment, press the SPONT SIMV button and then the EXP button
• rotate the encoder until reading, on flowmeter connected to the inspiratory line, 15l/min.; press
ALARM RESET
• rotate the encoder until reading on flowmeter 14 l/min.; press ALARM RESET
• rotate the encoder until reading on flowmeter: 100 l/min. (for 1000 – 3000 ICU – SIRIOPLUS 3000)
or 34 l/min. (for 1100 ICU); press ALARM RESET: at this point the air channel is calibrated
• rotate the encoder until reading on flowmeter connected to the inspiratory line 15l/min.; press
ALARM RESET
• rotate the encoder until reading on flowmeter 14 l/min.; press ALARM RESET
• rotate the encoder until reading on flowmeter 100 l/min. (for 1000 – 3000 ICU – SIRIOPLUS 3000)
or 34 l/min. (for 1100 ICU); press ALARM RESET: at this point the oxygen channel is calibrated
