980 Error Codes Unscured

PB980 Diagnostic Codes

I. Introduction
This chapter provides information to assist in the interpretation of diagnostics codes contained in the Puritan
Bennett™ 980 Ventilator System’s diagnostic logs. The ventilator’s diagnostic and status logs contain
information that may be useful when troubleshooting the ventilator.
The Puritan Bennett™ 980 contains two CPU PCBA’s (the BD CPU PCBA and the GUI CPU PCBA) which
generate six digit, alphanumeric diagnostic codes as part of their self-tests design.
The Self-tests include the following:
 Power On Self Test (POST) Diagnostics

 Ongoing or Background Diagnostics
 Extended Self Test (EST) Diagnostics
 Short Self Test (SST) Diagnostics
The Diagnostic Logs include the following:
System Diagnostic Log: Stores data on unexpected conditions (Faults and Failures) detected during POST
and background checks. The System Diagnostic Log stores up to 256 entries (first in, first out) organized by
date, time, type of event, the diagnostic code associated with the event, and notes.
System Communication Log: Stores data on ventilator events, including details on GUI/BD
communications. The System Communication Log stores up to 256 entries (first in, first out) organized by
date, time, type of event, the diagnostic code associated with the event, and notes.
EST/SST Diagnostic Log: Stores data on Alerts, Faults and Failures detected during SST and EST, along
with overall SST and EST test statuses. The EST/SST Log stores up to 256 entries (first in, first out)
organized by date, time, the diagnostic code associated with the event that occurred during EST or SST, and
notes.
Logs may be accessed via Normal Operation and in Service Mode.
Diagnostic Codes Interpretation:

st
To interpret a diagnostic code, via the 1 letter, decipher which CPU generated the code. Via the second
digit, determine during what diagnostic test the code was generated, and then read the message associated
with the code to obtain more information about the component, task or system affected.
1. The first letter of a diagnostic code identifies the CPU (BD or GUI) that generated the code. Refer to
the following table.
2. The second digit in a diagnostic code indicates where the fault occurred in software. See the type and
definition columns in the following table.
3. Test Identifier — the last four digits of a code represent the test identifier in the software.
Page 2
Refer to the table below to determine which CPU system generated the code and to identify during what
diagnostic test type the code was generated (SST, EST, Exception, Software test, Communication, POST or
Background Diagnostics). NOTE: the last four digits of a code signify the test identifier in the software. Read
the message associated with a code to obtain more information about the event for troubleshooting.

PB980 Diagnostic Codes
Non-technical Alarms
Non-technical alarms often result from a fault in the patient-ventilator interaction or external fault. Some non-
technical alarms relate to conditions the practitioner can correct, such as shifting to an alternate power source
or resolving gas supply issues. Others are patient data alarms associated with an abnormal condition of the
patient’s respiratory status. Reference the PB980 Operator’s Manual for a listing of non-technical alarms.
Technical Alarms
Technical alarms result from a violation of any of the ventilator’s self-monitoring conditions, such as failure of
POST or a background check. This includes faults detected by the ventilator’s background diagnostic system.
Technical Alarms cannot be reset by pressing the Alarm Reset key.
The ventilator reacts to the detection of a Technical alarm by entering one of the following states: Safety
Valve Open (SVO), Ventilator Inoperative (VENT INOP), Backup Ventilation (BUV), or generating High
Urgency and/or Medium Urgency Alarms.
i) SVO is a state which has the following conditions:

(a) The inspiratory PSOL is deactivated
(b) The safety valve is deactivated (de-energized)
(c) The exhalation valve is de-energized
ii) VENT INOP is a state which has the following conditions:

(a) The ventilator is placed in Safety Valve Open (SVO) state
(b) The gas mixing system PSOLs are disabled
(c) The accumulator of the gas mixing system is purged
(d) The VENT INOP indicator is annunciated
(e) The Primary alarm system annunciates an high urgency tone
(f) The secondary Alarm is activated
(g) The Alarm Urgency indicators displays a high urgency alarm condition
(h) The patient data displays are blanked and display the elapsed time without ventilator
support on the GUI
iii) BUV is a state which has 3 modes of operation:

 Mix BUV
 Inspiratory BUV
 Exhalation BUV
Page 4
BUV guidelines:
(a) Only one active mode of Mix BUV, Inspiratory BUV, or Exhalation BUV is allowed at a
time.
(b) During inspiratory or Exhalation Back Up Ventilation, the options gas supply solenoid is
disabled.
(c) During inspiratory or Exhalation Back up Ventilation, auto-zero of pressure sensors is not
allowed.
(d) Once the ventilator has entered Back Up Ventilation, normal ventilation is only entered by
cycling power and successfully completing Extended Self Test (EST).
(e) The Alarm Banner indicates Back Ventilation is active.
iv) Caution
(a) The 980 ventilator shall generate a high urgency alarm and add an entry into the System
Diagnostic Log.
v) Warning
(a) The 980 ventilator shall generate a medium urgency alarm and add an entry into the
System Diagnostic Log.
vi) Notification
(a) The 980 ventilator shall add an entry into the System Diagnostic Log.

Upon detection of a specified technical alarm, the system displays an Alarm per the table below to inform the
user that a Background Fault has been detected :

9 Module High Enter Idle Mode Yes
*Resettable conditions autoreset and allow normal operation once the condition that triggered the alarm goes
away. Conditions listed as nonresettable require at least EST to be completed and passed.
When a fault is detected in the primary audio alarm or a loss of communications with the GUI CPU, the
secondary alarm on the BD is activated producing a pulsating tone.
Once VENT INOP is triggered, a ventilator power cycle followed by a successful completion of Service Mode
Extended Self Test shall be required to enter Normal Mode Ventilation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whenever replacing a PCBA containing an FPGA, use the

PB980 ESS program to update the ventilator software package (which includes
FPGA’s).

PB980 Short Self-Test (SST)
Introduction
This chapter describes the Puritan Bennett™ 980 Ventilator System built-in self-tests, including how to run
them.
SST is a short sequence of tests designed to verify proper operation of breath delivery hardware (including
pressure and flow sensors), checks the patient circuit (including tubing, humidification device, and filters) for
leaks, measures the circuit compliance, resistance, and the resistance of the expiratory filter. SST lasts
approximately 5 minutes long. SST, in normal mode, can only be performed at start up, prior to initiation of
ventilation. The ventilator does not allow access to SST if it senses a patient is connected.
Covidien recommends running SST under these circumstances and intervals:
 Every 15 days
 Prior to ventilating a new patient
 Between patients
 When replacing the patient circuit and expiratory filter
 When connecting a different patient circuit to the ventilator
 When changing the patient circuit type
 When installing a new or sterilized expiratory filter
 When changing the humidification device type
 When adding or removing accessories to the breathing system such as a humidifier or water trap
Required Equipment
• Proposed patient circuit for patient ventilation

• Accessories (water traps, etc.)
• Expiratory filter and condensate vial
• Humidifier, if applicable
• #1 stopper to block the patient wye when prompted
• Two gas sources (air and oxygen) connected to the ventilator at a pressure between 35 psi and 87 psi
(241.3 kPa and 599.8 kPa)
Page 38
To run SST
1. Ensure a patient is NOT connected to the ventilator.
2. So that the ventilator does not detect a patient connection, ensure that the breathing circuit wye is not
attached to a test lung or covered in any way that would cause an increase in pressure at the wye.
3. Turn the ventilator on using the power switch located at the front of the BDU, below the status display. The
ventilator runs POST when the power switch is turned on. Ensure the ventilator is operating on full AC power.
Otherwise, SST test failures may result.
4. Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the ventilator to warm up and stabilize to ensure accurate results.
5. At the ventilator startup screen, touch SST or the Configure icon (wrench) displayed in the lower right area
of the GUI. The SST history log appears along with Patient Setup, Run Leak Test, and Run All SST buttons.
6. Connect the patient circuit, filters, condensate vial, and all accessories to be used in patient ventilation.
Ensure the patient wye is not blocked.
7. Touch Run All SST to perform all SST tests or touch Run Leak Test to perform the SST Leak test of the
ventilator breathing circuit.
8. Touch Accept to continue or Cancel to go back to the previous screen.
9. After accepting, touch the Circuit Type button corresponding to the patient circuit type used to perform SST
and to ventilate the patient (adult, pediatric, or neonatal.
10. Touch the Humidification Type button corresponding to the humidification type used for patient ventilation.
If no humidifier is used, touch HME. If a humidifier is used, touch Humidification Volume and turn the knob to
enter the volume.
11. Touch Accept to start SST.
12. Follow the prompts. Certain SST tests require operator intervention, and will pause indefinitely for a
response.
13. After each test, the ventilator displays the results. If a particular test fails, the test result appears on the
screen and a choice to repeat the test or perform the next test is given. When all of the SST tests are
complete, the SST status screen displays the individual test results.
14. To proceed to patient set up, (if SST did not detect an ALERT or FAILURE) touch EXIT SST, then touch
Accept or cycle the ventilator’s power.

Note: for any Alerts or Failures generated while performing any of the SST tests below, here are some
general troubleshooting guidelines:
1. Ensure that the ventilator has been warmed up for at least 15 minutes.
2. Ensure that adequate source gases are present.
3. Ensure that there are no leaks or occlusions anywhere in the patient circuit (includes the inspiratory
and expiratory bacteria filters, humidifier, proximal flow sensor if present, water traps, or any other
accessories).
4. Ensure the exhalation bacteria filter latch is in the down position.
5. Ensure that the proper patient circuit type and humidifier type selection matches the actual equipment
used.
6. Use a known good inspiratory filter, expiratory filter and patient circuit.
7. Ensure that the EVQ is properly aligned.
8. Run EST.
9. Run EST, Flow Sensor and/or Exhalation Valve Calibrations as needed to troubleshoot the ventilator.
Page 48
EST (Extended Self Test)
Introduction
EST is a user-initiated self test that verifies the integrity of the ventilator’s subsystems using operator
participation. EST checks the pneumatics, memory, safety system, indicators, digital and analog electronics,
power supplies, transducers and options. EST is intended to be run by trained service personnel.
The three primary purposes for running EST are:
1. To verify the integrity of PB980 ventilator pneumatics and electronics systems.

2. To troubleshoot the ventilator.
3. To reset “Pre-Existing Device Alerts” preventing the ventilator from operating in normal operation.
NOTE: When the PB980 generates a VENT INOP, GUI INOP or BUV condition, at a minimum, a complete
EST must be performed before normal operation is allowed. Within EST, there are 27 possible tests total.
EST requires a “gold standard” test circuit, available from Covidien. All required software support to perform
an EST is resident on the ventilator. EST testing, excluding tests of optional equipment, such as the
compressor, takes about 10 minutes to complete.
EST contains a feature that allows one or more EST tests to be run individually. This feature is called Single
Test EST. Single Test EST may be run to verify if a particular system or part may be causing an EST fault or
failure. The ventilator software requires that when any Single Test EST test is initiated, EST must be
completed in its entirety and all individual tests must pass before normal operation is allowed.
NOTE:
EST must always be performed with an ADULT exhalation filter installed. Attempting to run EST with a
NeoMode filter can cause some EST tests to fail.
WARNING:
Always disconnect the ventilator from the patient before running EST or Single Test EST. Running EST or
Single Test EST while the ventilator is connected to the patient can injure the patient. A fault identified in EST
indicates that the ventilator or an associated component is defective. A defective ventilator or associated
component should be repaired before the ventilator is returned to service, unless it can be determined with
certainty that the defect cannot create a hazard for the patient, or add to the risks
which may arise from other hazards.
NOTE:
If the ventilator has not reached operating temperature from recent usage, allow it to warm up for at least 10
minutes in service mode before running EST or single Test EST to ensure accurate testing.
Be aware that each time EST is performed, the patient alarm log is cleared.
When to run EST
• Prior to initial installation of a new ventilator

• Every six months
• Before and after any preventive maintenance
• Following ventilator service or repair
Page 49
Hardware requirements
Running EST requires the equipment listed in the table below. High pressure, compressed air and oxygen are
required for EST. Always use an adult exhalation bacteria filter and gold standard circuit to conduct EST. Use
of other hardware can cause some EST tests to fail.

Note:
If the ventilator has not reached normal operating temperature from recent usage, allow it to warm up for at
least 15 minutes in service mode prior to running EST to ensure accurate testing.
Page 50
How to run EST
1. Ensure the ventilator is not connected to the patient.

2. Before running EST, verify the following:
a. The ventilator is operating on AC power.
b. Ensure the primary ventilator battery is at least 90% charged. All green bars on the battery
charge indicator should be lit.
c. Ensure that the ventilator has been warmed up for a minimum of 15 minutes.
d. By viewing the status display in Service Mode, verify that the compressed air and oxygen
sources are both at 35 to 87 psi (241 to 599 kPa).
3. EST is run from Service Mode. If not already in Service Mode, enter Service Mode by turning the
ventilator power switch on, and then pressing and immediately releasing the service switch located in
the upper left corner of the BDU. Do not hold the service switch in.
Page 51
4. Install the gold standard test circuit from the To Patient and From Patient ports. NOTE: Do not install
an inspiratory filter.
5. Select the SELF TESTS tab from the horizontal banner at the top of the Service Mode screen.
6. Select the EST tab.
7. Press RUN ALL button to run all tests in sequence.
8. Press ACCEPT.
9. Follow prompts to complete EST. Some EST tests require operator input and will pause indefinitely

1.1.1.12 Pressure Sensor
NOTE: The accumulator is charged to a target pressure, the pressure is measured, and then the volume is
discharged to ambient. Assuming the accumulator volume is 500 ml, it has a compliance of 0.5 ml/cm H2O.
There are 70 cm H2O per psi, so this is the same as 35 ml/psi. In other words, an error in volume discharge
measurement of 35 ml would create an error in pressure estimation of 1 psi. Using the same compliance
value of 35 ml/psi, the accumulator should contain 875 ml when charged to 25 psi (i.e., 25 psi*35 ml/psi).
Charge volumes for 11 psi and 2 psi can be calculated in the same way.
