Siemens Maquet Servo-i Pre-Use Check

The Pre-Use Check includes tests and measurements of:

• internal technical functionality
• internal leakage
• pressure transducers
• O2 cell / O2 sensor
• flow transducers
• safety valve
• battery modules
• patient breathing system leakage
• circuit compliance

WARNINGS

• Always perform a Pre-Use Check before connecting the ventilator to a patient.
• The separate Patient Circuit Test that can be performed in Standby mode does not replace the Pre-Use Check.
• Do not connect the ventilator to a patient while a malfunction persists.
• Do not lift the expiratory cassette while the ventilator is in operation; instead, lift the cassette while in Standby mode.

Important: If you change the breathing circuit after calculating the circuit compliance compensation factor, perform a new Pre-Use Check.
