1ReplyFri Oct 31 2025 | Low measured O2 We have a PB980 that keeps getting a "low measured O2%" error. We did a PM on it about a month ago and it passed the EST and SST, within a couple of days of the PM the respiratory department put in a work order saying they were getting the error. We checked it out and it will run fine in a test setting but as soon as they set it up for use it gets that error. I replaced the O2 cell again just to be sure it wasn't a bad O2 cell and then had them run it with a test lung, it ran fine. We re-ran the EST and SST, it passed both but as soon as they put it in patient use they started getting the low measured O2 error again. I am unsure on what else to look for that could be causing the error coming up? Any help is appreciated. Equipment: Puritan Bennett PB980 Reply |
