Touch the Circuit Check button at the top of the touchscreen and follow the on-screen
instructions.
Step 1: Occlude the patient connection end of the circuit. (Do not use a test lung.)
Step 2: Press the Accept button to confirm to procedure the Circuit Check.
Step 3: Proceed to open the patient connection end of the patient circuit.
Step 4: Press the Accept button to continue the Circuit Check.
Step 5: If the test passes, a message “Circuit Check PASSED Press Accept to Confirm” will be
displayed.
Step 6: When the Circuit Check is completed, patient settings as needed. Touch the Start

If the Circuit Check fails:
1. Circuit Check FAILED, Press Accept to Continue will be displayed.
2. Next press the Accept button to return to Startup Screen.
3. Ensure breathing circuit connections are properly connected and leak
free.
4. Ensure the Air Oxygen Entrainment Mixer is not attached to the Fresh
Gas Intake port.
5. Next touch the Circuit Check button to redo the test.
6. If Circuit Check fails repeatedly, try another circuit.

Press Calibrate O2 Monitor
Allows the user to calibrate the internal oxygen sensor.
Either a single point or a two point calibration can be done. This can be done while on a patient if they
can tolerate the desired calibration point (room air or 100% oxygen). Touch this button to go to the
Calibrate O2 Mon screen.
O2 Cal, 21% O2. Touch this button and follow the onscreen directions to calibrate at room air. Ensure
that no oxygen device is connected to the air intake port on the right side of the ventilator.
O2 Cal, 100% O2. Touch this button and follow the onscreen directions to calibrate at 100% oxygen.
Ensure that 100% oxygen is being delivered to the air intake port on the right side of the ventilator.
Newport suggests using the Low Flow Oxygen Reservoir with 10 L/min. of medical grade 100% oxygen
connected to it.
