4.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Gas leaking past flow control valve even though valve is closed.
Potential causes and solutions:
• Flow valve knob is over-tightened or the valve's internal stem may not be seated
correctly. Turn the valve counter-clockwise to allow some flow then re-close the valve
without undue force.
• Flow valve is contaminated or internal o-rings are worn or damaged. Contact your
Maxtec distributor or Maxtec for repair.
Problem: Float ball is not stable and bobbles up and down.
Potential causes and solutions:
• Flow rate is outside flowmeter specifications. Reduce flow rate. (Occasional and
intermittent bobbling is normal at flow rates between 80% and 100% of full scale.)
Problem: Flow exiting the MaxFLO
Potential causes and solutions:
• Excessive backpressure is reducing sensitivity of flowmeters. Reduce the total flow
rate and/or use less restrictive patient circuitry. Note: The FiO
Table 1 (pg.3) will not be affected.
• Float ball is contaminated. Contact your Maxtec distributor or Maxtec for repair.
Problem: Analyzer/Monitor diverter is difficult to insert or does not remain inserted in
Mixed Gas Analysis Port.
Potential causes and solutions:
• Diverter is the wrong size. Use diverter supplied by Maxtec, part number
R110P10-001 as noted in section 10.2 of this operating manual.
