What you need

Step 1

              Air Filter               
  • Disconnect the pipeline sources from the wall.
  • These are the yellow and green hoses, the air and oxygen hoses, in the image.

Step 2

  • Disconnect the oxygen hose from the machine.
  • This also includes the removal of the oxygen fitting.

Disconnect the oxygen hose from the machine.

This also includes the removal of the oxygen fitting.

Step 3

  • After the oxygen hose has been disconnected, the air hose will be disconnected as well.
  • The air line may have a compressor hose, like this unit, which will need to be removed before the air fitting can be removed.
  • Once this is done, you can look through both openings with a flashlight for debris. If there is debris, move onto the next step. Otherwise, you should reinstall the hoses to the machine and the wall

Step 4

  • Open both shut-off valves.
  • Verify that the inspiratory outlet is open to atmosphere (not plugged).
  • On the VCB screen:
  • Verify that the Air and O2 Flow Valves are energized ().
  • Set the Air DAC counts to 60,000 (fully open).
  • Set the O2 DAC counts to 60,000 (fully open).

Open both shut-off valves.

Verify that the inspiratory outlet is open to atmosphere (not plugged).

On the VCB screen:

Verify that the Air and O2 Flow Valves are energized ().

Set the Air DAC counts to 60,000 (fully open).

Set the O2 DAC counts to 60,000 (fully open).

Step 5

  • After 20 seconds:
  • Close both shut-off valves. Pulse the Air and O2 flow valves 5 times for 5 seconds.
  • Set the Air DAC counts to zero (closed).
  • Set the O2 DAC counts to zero (closed).
  • Note: Closing the shut-off valves before setting the flow DAC counts to zero, bleeds pressure from the system.

After 20 seconds:

Close both shut-off valves. Pulse the Air and O2 flow valves 5 times for 5 seconds.

Set the Air DAC counts to zero (closed).

Set the O2 DAC counts to zero (closed).

Note: Closing the shut-off valves before setting the flow DAC counts to zero, bleeds pressure from the system.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
