For waveform pressure readings, press F (Rescale) to
optimize waveform viewing.
WWarning
Always turn pressure off at the source prior
to disconnecting either end of the High-
Pressure Adapter. Serious injury could
otherwise result.
Figure 0-8 shows some characteristic high pressure

Checking Ventilator Parameters
Refer to Figure 9 when you are connecting the Analyzer
to a ventilator and test lung.
1. Press R and follow on-screen instructions.
2. At the Analyzer, connect the High-Flow Sensor to the
Flow/Low-Pressure Port.
3. Connect the Oxygen Sensor to the upper port on the
right side of the Analyzer.
4. If available, connect the optional Temperature/RH
Sensor to the lower port on the right side of the
Analyzer.
5. Using parts from the Accessory Kit and the
connectors provided with the sensors, make
connections between the ventilator and the
ACCU LUNG as shown in Figure 9. Use the
sequence: ventilator Y connector
Æ High-Flow
Sensor (blue stripe toward the ACCU LUNG) Æ
Temperature/RH Sensor Æ Oxygen Sensor Æ
ACCU LUNG. Vertically align all sensors.
6. Set up the ventilator for a characteristic breath
pattern. For example, you could set 10 BPM at 7.5
lpm.
7. Set the ACCU LUNG for C20 compliance (both outer
springs engaged) and Rp50 resistance (positioned as
shown in Figure 9.)
