Einleitung

Please refer to page 7 of the device’s Technical Manual for source information.

    • Lift the cover off the Max Pressure Relief Valve slightly and turn out of the way.

  2. prRwXFdviR6yTyfP

    • Disconnect all devices from the F&P Neopuff™/Perivent™ outlet port.

  3. xobAvSDo442NFvLS

    • Check the manometer needle is within +/- 2 cm H2O of zero on the manometer gauge. If the manometer does not read zero, the resetting of the manometer to zero procedure should be followed.

  4. RyPpOIGQeenPyiWK

    • Connect the outlet of the F&P Neopuff™/Perivent™ Infant Resuscitator to a bleed valve and a certified gauge (e.g. Mensor Digital Pressure Gauge Series 2400).

    • Set the gas supply to 10 L/min.

    • Completely close the maximum pressure limit valve by turning the left-handed knob completely clockwise.

  7. mcxNJSp2UTSRuUPb

    • With the bleed valve closed, adjust the Peak Inspiratory Pressure knob to set the pressure so that the certified gauge reads 10, 20, and 40 cm H2O.

    • Check that the manometer reads within +/- 2 cm H2O of these values at each set point.

    • With the pressure set to 40 cm H2O, open and close the bleed valve three times and check the manometer needle rises and falls smoothly.

Abschluss

If the F&P Neopuff™/Perivent™ Infant Resuscitator fails any of these tests, the manometer should be regarded as inaccurate and replaced with a new manometer.
