Self Test

Introduction

 

The Respironics V200 ventilator has an extensive system of checks designed

 

into the system to ensure that it operates safely and detects fault conditions

 

that can compromise the performance of the system as a ventilator. These

 

checks include hardware that checks the integrity of the software and software

 

that checks the hardware to ensure that it is operating within normal ranges.

 

These checks are described below.

Self-Test Hardware

The self-test hardware involves hardware components that check the integrity of the software. The hardware components that perform these checks are the watchdog timer and the bus activity monitor.

• Watchdog Timer: The watchdog timer is a timer that the software must reset. If the timer times out, it causes a reset that restarts the ventilator as if the power switch had been turned on. Normally the software resets the watchdog timer and it never times out.

• Bus Activity Monitor: The bus activity monitor is a timer similar to the watchdog timer. The bus activity monitor timer is a timer that only times out if there has been no activity on the microprocessor bus. If there is no activity on the bus, it would indicate there is a malfunction of some kind and the microprocessor is restarted in the same way that the watchdog timer does.

Power On Self Test (POST)

POST is the test that the ventilator does when the machine power is turned on or if there has been a potential fault detected by the watchdog timer or the bus activity monitor. POST has the constraint that it must be able to run safely when the ventilator has a patient attached. POST checks the integrity of critical system electronics such as the self test hardware and microprocessor electronics. POST also tests other critical ventilator components that can be tested.

A primary objective of POST is to ensure that the watchdog timer and the bus activity monitor hardware are working and will catch software malfunctions. These are critical components of the safety system and therefore POST tests these components every time it runs.

POST also checks all critical digital hardware, including the processor, program memory, data memory, and functions of various measurement systems.

POST also checks pneumatic components that can be safely tested with the safety valve open.

If all of these tests pass, the Respironics V200 ventilator will operate as a ventilator.
