4.5 Operational check
Before beginning to use SIMEOX it is recommended that a quick operational check be conducted.
A simple test lets you check that SIMEOX is working, and that the negative pressure level generated is compliant
to specifications in order to guarantee the performance of SIMEOX.
1
On starting up SIMEOX, when the “standby/on” button is pressed, ALL the SIMEOX lights should be
illuminated.
2
Once the expiratory kit is connected as described above:
Set power to 100%
Block the kit outlet (for example, with a finger)
Press the “GO” button briefly
Observe the PERFORMANCE lights
All the PERFORMANCE lights should
illuminate, including the red lights.
If the test is negative, check that the expiratory kit is correctly connected, and that the kit is indeed
blocked, repeat the test.
If the test is still negative, do not use SIMEOX, contact PHYSIO-ASSIST
