It is not intended to replace the User’s Manual, but rather to complement it. Most of the information contained in this tutorial can also be found in the User’s Manual. However, some additional detail has been added to the tutorial in order to provide a more complete step-by-step process. Authors: Cathy Brennan, Jenn Bacior, Stefan Frembgen

It is best if the ASL 5000 is started first, in order to allow proper synchronization with the computer. Wait until the red light of the Motor Enable/Disable switch goes out (ASL has finished booting up) before starting the software. 1 2 Depress the Enable Switch if red light is still on after 20 seconds.

Sample Cases: Compliance Step- Down ??? What could cause this to happen? ??? Answer: A dislocated ET tube could leave just one lung compartment being ventilated. The ventilator will attempt to deliver the same volume into the remaining lung compartment, effectively over-inflating it.

Ensure that the correct Ethernet cable is connected to the RJ45 and/or a secure connection is made with the serial DB9 to the port labeled “Host”. The respective ports must also be connected and active on your PC. Is the ASL device turned on? If not, it will take approximately 20 seconds to initialize after switching on.. Troubleshooting blue cable for connection through a hub/switch (DHCP)

They are often underlined. When the mouse pointer is rolled over the underlined hyperlink text, the pointer converts to a hand with the index finger pointed at the text. Clicking on the text while the pointing hand is visible will advance you to some designated slide or file.

A script file has the extension.sct. Variable File Individual parameter sets are stored in files with the extension.var (for variables up to SW 2.2.) or vr3 (for variable sets made with SW 3.n).
