Isolating a Leak – Bag or Vent Mode?

• Perform a Low Pressure Leak Test for the machine.

• Breathing System Leak Test Aespire TRM p. 7-5 and 7-6
• - Check Valves
• - Ventilator Bellows
• - Service Mode Tests (Vent Mode)
• - Bag Circuit (Bag Mode)
• - APL Valve

• Based on the findings of the Bag Mode and Vent Mode tests, proceed to the
Flowcharts to isolate the leak.
