20 cmH2O and maintain pressure. (This eliminates a low airway pressure alarm during the
test).
3. Turn the ventilator power switch ON.
4. Set the ventilator controls per Table F. Allow three cycles to occur. Ensure that the volume
is the same each cycle by re-zeroing respirometer between each cycle.
5. Compare the respirometer readings with the tidal volume limits in Table F.

AA Excel or Excel SE w/ 7000 Ventilator 12 of 15 12/19/95 Number: 3.00

G. Alarm Tests
1. Push the lamp test button. All the lamps must light and the audio alarm must sound.

2. Set the controls to: MV-15, R-15, I:E-1:2.5

Vary the MV control as indicated; verify the alarm condition(s).

MV Alarm Condition(s)
15 L/Min None
15-20 L/Min Actual I:E Less Than Dial Setting
20-25 L/Min Actual I:E Less Than Dial Setting and
Set Volume Not Delivered.
15 L/Min None

3. Relieve pressure on the patient pressure sensing line.

4. The "Low Airway Pressure" alarm must sound within 3 breath cycles.

H. Ventilator Electronic High Pressure Relief System.

NOTE 1: The electronic high pressure relief system should be present in all 7000
ventilators. If it is not present, retrofit the ventilator using the high pressure
relief kit. Charge the kit to warranty.

NOTE 2: There are two parts to this procedure, the first is verifying that the alarm
threshold is triggered at the correct pressure. The second test, which is done
later in conjunction with other alarm tests, checks that the alarm is actually
triggered at the patient.

Alarm Threshold Test

1. Apply a pressure greater than 65 cmH2O (approx. 48 mmHg) to the patient pressure (distal
sense) inlet.
2. When the inlet pressure is 65-75 cmH2O (48-55 mmHg), verify that the "Set Volume Not
Delivered" alarm lights and an audio alarm sounds.
3. With over-pressure present during the inspiration phase, the driving O2 is vented from the
control unit base until the inspiratory phase is complete.
4. Maintain the over-pressure condition and ensure that after 2-3 breaths, the ventilator goes
into the "Ventilator Failure" mode and will continue to vent drive gas out of the control unit
base during the inspiratory phase.
5. Remove pressure from the inlet. Verify that the "Set Volume Not Delivered" alarm resets but
that the "Ventilator Failure" alarm remains latched.
6. Turn the unit OFF and then ON to reset the unit.

I. Mechanical Relief Valve Test

1. Set the controls to MV-2, R-10, I:E-1:1
2. Apply 20 cmH2O to the patient pressure sensing line.
3. Remove the respirometer and attach an approved pressure measuring device.
4. Verify that the pressure starts relieving between 45-65 cmH2O (33 - 48 mmHg)during
inspiration.
5. Remove the test device. Turn the ventilator OFF and reconnect the drive gas hose.

J. Manual Ventilation Test

1. Connect a complete patient circuit, with a test lung, to the absorber. Maintain at least
2 L/min fresh gas flow so that the bellows remains fully extended.
2. Reattach the patient pressure sensing line to the absorber.
3. Turn the ventilator ON. Push the manual cycle button during the expiratory cycle to verify
that the ventilator cycles.

K. Sigh Test
1. Set the controls to: MV-15, R-40, I:E-1:2
2. Turn the sigh switch ON and start stop watch. Count breaths beginning with the first
inspiratory cycle after the sigh is switched ON. On the 64th breath, ±2 breaths
(approximately 96 seconds) a larger breath, (approximately 150% of set volume) must be
delivered.
