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.

On starting up SIMEOX, when the standby/on button is pressed, ALL the SIMEOX lights should be illuminated.

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

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

All the PERFORMANCE lights should illuminate, including the red lights.
