    • Check the manometer needle is within +/- 2 cm H2O of zero on the manometer gauge. If the manometer does not read zero, the resetting of the manometer to zero procedure should be followed.

    • Connect the outlet of the F&P Neopuff™/Perivent™ Infant Resuscitator to a bleed valve and a certified gauge (e.g. Mensor Digital Pressure Gauge Series 2400).

    Edit

    • Set the gas supply to 10 L/min.

    Edit

    • Completely close the maximum pressure limit valve by turning the left-handed knob completely clockwise.

    • With the bleed valve closed, adjust the Peak Inspiratory Pressure knob to set the pressure so that the certified gauge reads 10, 20, and 40 cm H2O.

    Edit

    • Check that the manometer reads within +/- 2 cm H2O of these values at each set point.

    Edit

    • With the pressure set to 40 cm H2O, open and close the bleed valve three times and check the manometer needle rises and falls smoothly.

    Edit
Conclusion

If the F&P Neopuff™/Perivent™ Infant Resuscitator fails any of these tests, the manometer should be regarded as inaccurate and replaced with a new manometer.
