on the DAQ board converts the 12.5VDC to various voltage rails to run on-board
circuitries and support modules connected to the DAQ board. Among the voltage rails
generated on the DAQ board, 5.8 VDC is used to power the display unit.
The CPU board converts the incoming 5.8VDC to local needed power rails (5VDC,
3.3VDC and 1.5VDC). When 3.3VDC reaches Micro Monitor Chip (DS1819A) voltage
trip point (3.0V), the reset signal to the CPU chip is deactivated and the CPU begins to
execute the program.
Software performs the following actions and self-tests:
• Backup buzzer is set to on by default on power up. The software turns it off within 100
ms of software startup.
• Sequential watchdog test.
• Display a bootup screen containing the GE-Datex Ohmeda logo and a progress bar.
• Test the data integrity of the application code image stored in Flash memory.
• Disable Ethernet communication channel.
• Video memory test.
• Write data to all EDC (main) memory locations to ensure that all EDC memory
checkbits are initialized.
Upon the successful completion of the preceding activities, the software loads the
application image into main system memory and begins executing.

2.4 DAQ board functionality

The DAQ board includes power circuits whose regulated outputs are distributed
throughout the system and digital/analog circuits that interface between machine
component and the CPU board in the display module.

2.4.1 Power circuits

Power_Up/ All the circuitry on this page is powered by V_ON_3.3V. The input to this regulator is
Power_Down Circuitry VCHGR, VMAIN or VBAT. VCHGR will be the input if the machine is plugged into the wall
power and the power switch on the back of the machine is in the on position. The only
time VMAIN is the input is if the VCHGR supply fails. VBAT will be the input if the
machine is not plugged into the wall power or the power switch is off.
When the On/STBY switch is turned to the on position the first delay circuit will start. If
the On/STBY switch is still in the on position after the delay period (500mS) the flip-
flop will see a rising edge on the clock pin. This will set the Q output high because D is
high. This will turn on all power to the board and start delay timer two. After the
programmed time ENOUT of timer two will go high. The unit cannot be put into STBY
mode until this happens. A transition from On to STBY is delayed until timer two’s delay
period is complete. That means the minimum on time is the delay period of timer two
which is set to 500m seconds. Once timer two has timed out changing the On/STBY
switch from On to STBY will turn off the unit immediately.

Battery Charger The lead-acid battery is connected into the battery charge bus VBAT (TP1). When AC
power is not available, the system operates from battery power. When AC power is
available, the system charges the battery, drawing charging power from VCHGR (TP10)
supply, which is supplied from the AC to DC power supply. When AC power is present,
VCHGR is at 16 volts and charging current to the lead-acid battery is adjusted based
upon battery condition.

Charger Modes The battery charger operates in one of three modes: bulk-charge, over-charge and float
charge.
• Bulk-charge mode is initiated when AC power is cycled (and VCHGR drops below
4.5Vdc) or when the charger is in the float-charge state and the battery voltage drops
below 12.3Vdc (nominal). During bulk-charge, the VBAT voltage is adjusted to
maintain a constant charge current of 400mA (nominal). When the battery voltage
reaches 14Vdc (nominal), the charger switches to over-charge mode.
• The Over-charge voltage can vary from 13.513Vdc to 15.50Vdc, the range is so large
because the chargers reference compensates the voltage as necessary to properly
charge the battery at varying ambient temperatures. Over-charge mode maintains the
battery charging current at 400mA (nominal) until the battery voltage reaches
14.7Vdc (nominal). The bulk charge current can vary from 356mA to 444mA worst
case. At this point the charge controller changes from constant-current mode to
constant-voltage mode and the VBAT voltage to 13.7Vdc (nominal).
• The Float-charge voltage can vary from 12.605Vdc to 14.475Vdc, the range is so
large because the charger reference compensates. The battery charging current is
allowed to vary to whatever value in the range of 0 to 400mA that will maintain the
float voltage level.

is 16V and 12.5V from the AC to DC power supply and the battery voltage. These
voltages are connected together through OR diodes; the highest voltage will supply the
regulator input. If any of these supplies are available, the alarm has power.
An AND gate drives the gate on an N-Channel FET. Under normal operation the output
of this AND gate is high, which turns on the FET and silences the buzzer. This AND gate
is powered by the VDD supply. When the On/Standby switch is turned to the On
position the VSWB supply powers on before the VDD supply causing the buzzer to
sound until the VDD supply is up and the circuitry is initialized by software.
The following control the buzzer:
• VDD – The VDD supply rail powers the gates that control the buzzer. If VDD fails the
buzzer will sound because the AND gate output will be low turning off the FET.
• CPU_5V_MON – This signal is from the CPU board and is pulled up on the DAQ board.
The CPU board needs to drive this signal low or the alarm will sound. The +5V on the
CPU board is monitored and if it goes out of range the CPU board will sound the buzzer
by driving the CPU_5V_MON low. The +5V on the CPU powers the audio and flow
sensor interface, which, is only used on the DAQ BRD.
• RESET_DAQ – This signal is from the CPU board and is pulled up on the DAQ board.
The CPU board needs to drive this signal low or the alarm will sound. This is the same
as a system reset on the CPU board. If the 3.3V or 1.5V supplies on the CPU board are
low or the watchdog is not serviced the RESET_DAQ bit will go low and sound the
alarm.
• /+5.8V_CPU_FAULT – This signal monitors the +5.8V_CPU voltage and will go low if
this supply has any fault or interrupt condition. If this output drops out the CPU board
will not be functional.
• /BUZ_TST - this signal is used to test the buzzer. If it is driven low the buzzer will sound
until it is returned high.

A/D Converter The TLV2553 is a 12-bit, 200-ksps, 11-channel, serial ADC.

SPI Compatible Serial Interface with I/O Clock Frequencies up to 15 MHz.

Flow Valve Drive A 12-bit DAC is used to control the Inspiratory Flow Valve. The DAC outputs a voltage
Circuitry from 0 to 4.095 volts (nominal). The flow valve driver will deliver 0 to 127.969 mA,
respectively, to a 75-ohm proportional valve. The flow valve driver incorporates a
shutdown control that allows shutdown by over pressure detection circuitry.

SPI Address Generation SPI_CS0, SPI_CS1 & SPI_CS2 are routed through a 3 to 8 decoder. Four chip selects
are generated for the following SPI devices: D/A converter, A/D converter, and two
16-bit I/O ports.

SPI Driver DS90LV049 is a 3V LVDS Dual Line Driver with Dual Line Receiver. This driver accepts
LVTTL/LVCMOS signals and translates them to LVDS signals. On the other hand, the
receivers accept LVDS signals and translate them to 3V LVTTL/LVCMOS signals.

Input/Output Ports The 23S17 is a 16-Bit I/O Expander with Serial Interface. Features:
16-bit remote bidirectional I/O port
I/O pins default to inputs
High speed SPI Interface up to 10 MHz

High Pressure Logic /HI_PRES signal originates from the DPL_SW routed onto the board from the SIB
connector. On the DAQ board it is initialized high and then inverted before it is
called /HI_PRES. During normal operation this signal will be high. If the DPL_SW is
over pressured this signal will become low (active). When active it sets the
HI_PRES_ACTV. When HI_PRES_ACTV is active the flow output will be cleared to zero
flow. If the ESIB connector becomes disconnected the pull-up on the DAQ board will
also cause /HI_PRES_ACTV to become active.

FLW Sensors The power to the flow sensors EEPROM is turned on and off via output port
Communications bit /EEP_PWR_EN. The clock is routed to the flow sensor EPROMs through a MAX3084
high-speed transceiver for RS-485.

Board (ESIB)
The ESIB provides an interface for the ACGO switch, the Bag/Vent switch, the canister

wired On), and breathing circuit ID switches (hard-wired to denote circle system). All of
the switch signals are filtered for EMI immunity and protected against ESD.
Respiratory gas flow, to and from the patient, is monitored by measuring the
differential pressure across a variable orifice in each flow sensor. The pressure
transducers for measuring the differential pressure are on the ESIB. The patient airway
pressure and the pressure in the ventilator manifold are measured by pressure
transducers on the ESIB. Conditioning circuitry is supplied for these transducers and
for the Oxygen sensor used in the breathing circuit.

Functional description Power Supply Regulators

The ESIB power supply is a 10 VA limited +12 volt supply originating at the DAQ board.
It is filtered as it comes onto the ESIB board.
There are three regulators on the ESIB that are supplied by the +12 volt supply. The first
regulator is a LP2951 low dropout regulator that produces digital +5 volts. This supply
is used to power the flow sensor EEPROMs. Setting the E2_PWR signal to logic low will
shut down the +5 volt power supply to the EEPROMs.
The second regulator produces analog +5 volts with another LP2951. This supply is
used to power all of the operational amplifiers and pressure transducers.
The third regulator produces analog +6.0 volts with another LP2951. This regulator
powers an ADM660 switched capacitor inverter to generate analog –6.0 volts. These
supplies power all of the instrumentation amplifiers.

 2 Theory of Operation

Oxygen Sensor Interface

The Oxygen sensor connects to the ESIB via a 6 position / 4 pin modular phone jack.
The sensor generates a linear output voltage that depends upon the O 2 concentration
being measured. The oxygen sensor produces an output of 3 to 15 mV DC in air (21%
O2). It produces an output of 14 to 72 mV DC in 100% oxygen concentration.
The oxygen sensor amplifier provides a gain of 35 and filtering to condition the raw cell
output to make it compatible with the ventilator ADC. The total error of the
measurement system, including the ADC, is less than ±1%. This is necessary because
ISO7767 requires the oxygen analyzer be accurate to ±3% at a constant temperature.
The oxygen cell uses ±2% of the accuracy specification, not including thermal drift.
An O2_DISCONNECT signal is provided and is used by the ventilator software to
determine that a cell is connected to the cable. The signal is implemented using the
disconnect loop-back provided by the oxygen cell. Digital ground is provided to the cell
on pin 2 of the connector and the cell loops ground back on pin 4 of the connector. The
ESIB passes this signal along to the ventilator CPU Board. The O2_DISCONNECT signal
is filtered for protection against EMI and clamped for ESD protection.
Flow Sensor Communications Interface
The ESIB provides the interface to the flow sensor EEPROMs. Each flow sensor
incorporates an EEPROM that contains calibration data to be used by the ventilator
software to correct for the linearity error of the flow sensor. This data relates an ADC
reading to a flow value. The flow value, integrated over time, allows the system to
calculate volume. The ESIB also provides +5 volt power at up to 10mA to the flow
sensor EEPROMs. The +5 volt power supply incorporates a shutdown control to allow
the CPU Board to power down the flow sensor EEPROMs when not communicating with
them. A MAX488 receives a differential clock signal from the CPU Board and converts it
to a single ended clock to the flow sensor EEPROMs. The power and communication
signals to the flow sensors are filtered for EMI protection and clamped to protect
against ESD.
Inspiratory and Expiratory Flow Measurement
Differential pressure levels in the range of -3.5 cm H2O to +3.5 cm H2O are applied to
the differential pressure transducers by the flow of gases past the variable orifice in the
flow sensor. The range of ±3.5 cm H2O corresponds to ±120 LPM of flow through the
variable orifice flow sensors. The output range of the transducer is 0.3 to 3.8 VDC with
a zero pressure output of 2.05 VDC.
The pressure transducer is powered by a 4.096 VDC voltage reference and is amplified
by an instrumentation amplifier with a nominal gain of 370. The instrumentation
amplifier gain is adjustable over a range of 248 to 495 to accommodate variations in
pressure transducer span. The instrumentation amplifier also provides an offset
adjustment that is used to set the zero pressure output to 2.05 VDC nominal. The offset
reference is adjustable over a range of 1.614 to 2.495 VDC to accommodate variation
in the pressure transducer zero offset. A RC lag filter, on the output of the pressure
transducer amplifier, slows the response of the pressure transducers to make the
Enhanced SIB backwards compatible with previous versions of the SIB. A buffer
amplifier follows the lag filter to provide a low impedance driver for the cable going to
the CPU Board.

Manifold and Patient Airway Pressure Measurement

The precision 4.096 volt reference is used to supply a reference voltage to the
instrumentation amplifier’s reference pin and to supply input power to the pressure
transducer. The output voltage of the pressure transducer changes proportionally to
the applied pressure. The instrumentation amplifier has a nominal gain of 286. The
instrumentation amplifier gain is adjustable over a range of 199 to 330 to
accommodate variations in pressure transducer span. It’s nominal zero pressure
output voltage is 800mV which is the voltage applied to its reference pin. The pressure
range is –20 cm H2O to 120 cm H2O. At –20 cm H2O the amplifiers output voltage is
nominally 300mV and at 120 cm H2O its output is nominally 3800mV. The amplifier
nominally changes 25mV for every 1 cm H2O. The instrumentation amplifier output is
low pass filtered and buffered before being sent to the CPU Board.
Over Pressure Signal
The DPL (drive pressure limit) switch is a pneumatic switch and is used to monitor the
airway pressure. It is designed to trip if the airway pressure reaches 104 cm H 2O
nominal. The OVER_PRESS signal is monitored by the system software and will disable
mechanical ventilation, disable the flow valve drive circuit, and close the gas inlet valve
in the event of an over-pressure condition.

2.5.4 Drive Gas The Drive Gas Check Valve (6) is used downstream of the flow control valve to create
Check Valve the pilot pressure for closing the exhalation valve during inspiratory phases, The DGCV
is biased shut by an integral weight that supplies approximately 3.5 cm H 2O of bias
(DGCV) pressure before permitting flow downstream to the bellows assembly. When the
ventilator is exhausting flow from the breathing circuit, the DGCV permits the exhalation
valve pilot pressure to be de-coupled from the circuit pressure. This permits the
exhalation valve to open and lets gas flow to the exhaust and the gas scavenging
system.

2.5.6 Exhalation The exhalation valve contains an elastomeric diaphragm that is used along with the
valve flow valve to control the pressures in the breathing circuit. The exhalation valve
includes two male ports on the bottom for:
• Bellows drive gas (8)
• Exhalation valve pilot (9) - (manifold pressure)
The exhalation valve includes three ports on top that connect to the bellows base
manifold:
• Drive gas pass through (10)
• Drive gas return and pop-off valve flow (11)
• APL exhaust flow to scavenging (12)
A port at the back of the exhalation valve (13) connects to the down tube that directs all
the exhaust flows to the scavenging receiver.
The exhalation valve is normally open. Approximately 2 cm H2O of pilot pressure is
necessary to close the valve. When the exhalation port is open, gas flows from the
bellows housing to the scavenging port.

and bleed resistor pulses to the exhalation valve.
The bleed resistor (16) is a “controlled leak” from 0 to 12 l/min in response to circuit
pressures from 0 to 100 cm H2O. The small quantity of pneumatic flow exhausting
through the bleed resistor permits control of the exhalation valve's pilot pressure by
modulation of the valve output. The bleed resistor exhausts only clean drive gas and
must not be connected to a waste gas scavenging circuit. The output is routed away
from the electrical components to make sure that systems using oxygen drive gas meet
the 10VA limitation requirement for oxygen enrichment.

breathing valve ventilator is programmed to supply a specified number of breaths per minute to the
patient. If, in between one of these programmed cycles, the patient needs a breath
(spontaneous), the free breathing valve permits the patient to inhale. The free
breathing valve is closed on mechanical inspiration.

flow sensors inspiratory flow sensor is downstream of the gas system inspiratory check
valve. Feedback from the inspiratory transducer is used to supply tidal
volumes that make allowances for the effects of fresh gas flow and circuit
compressibility. The expiratory flow sensor is located at the input to the gas
system expiratory check valve. Feedback from the expiratory flow sensor is
used to supply signals for expiratory tidal volume monitoring and the breath

2.6 Total Flow Sensor board (TFS)

The Total Flow Sensor (TFS) board measures the fresh gas flow set by the user. The
following measurements are displayed on the bottom-right corner of the display: Total
gas flow and the individual gas flows.
To accomplish this, the TFS board reads each gas specific sensor, processes the data,
and sends the measurements to the display CPU (through the DAQ board) via RS-422
communication. The TFS is a monitoring board; it does not control the flow delivery.

Power Supplies The DAQ board supplies +5.8Vdc to the TFS board. The +5.8Vdc supply is used to
power the flow sensors and to generate the +3.3Vdc supply used on the board.
The +3.3Vdc supply is the main logic interface supply used for all components on the
TFS board.

Power on Reset / Brown The TFS board is designed with a Power-on Reset and brown out protection circuit.
out protection

Microcontroller The TFS board is designed with the Atmel ATmega324P, which is an 8-bit
microcontroller. The design of the board utilizes the UART, I2C, and parallel I/O external
interfaces on the microcontroller. The microcontroller also provides several internal
capabilities such as counters/timers, Watchdog, SRAM, EEPROM, and FLASH program
memory.
The device is programmed only with bootcode at time of board manufacture.
Application code is loaded through the DAQ/TFS cable, which provides RS-422
communication.

UART The board utilizes one UART (UART0) on the microcontroller. The microcontroller
communicates to the transceiver (U3), which translates the signal into an RS-422
signal, which is sent to a host.

I/O The board utilizes three I/O pins on the microcontroller (PB2, PD4, PD5 on the
microcontroller). Each of these pins controls an LED by pulling the line low. The LED’s
are used to indicate functionality and activity on the TFS board.

Internal Memory The ATMega324P has internal SRAM, EEPROM and FLASH memory. The SRAM is
2Kbytes, the EEPROM is 1Kbytes and the FLASH is 32Kbytes.

RS-422 Transceiver The Transceiver on the board (U3) is an RS-422 transceiver. The asynchronous side of
the transceiver is connected to the microcontroller internal UART (UART0). The RS-422
side of the converter connects to the transceiver on the HOST through the DAQ/TFS
cable.

LEDs The TFS board includes 3 LEDs that indicate activity and functionality of the board.
Each LED is connected to an I/O pin on the microcontroller. When the I/O pin on the
microcontroller is pulled low, the LED is lit.

2-28 02/09 M1170027

 2 Theory of Operation

Flow Sensors The TFS board accommodates up to three flow sensors. The communication interface
of the flow sensors to the microcontroller is I2C.

Internal FLASH Memory The ATMega324P has 32K bytes of internal FLASH for Application code, Boot Code,
and Boot Code Revision.

Internal EEPROM The ATMega324P has 1K bytes of internal EEPROM for Assembly Part number, revision,

2.7 Gas flow through the anesthesia machine

2.7.1 Overview Refer to Figure 2-21 for the related pneumatic circuit diagram and to Figure 2-22 for
typical tubing connections between components.

Gas supplies Gas comes into the system through a pipeline (2) or cylinder (4) connection. All
connections have indexed fittings, filters, and check valves (one-way valves). Gauges
show the pipeline (1) and cylinder (3) pressures.
A primary regulator (5) decreases the cylinder pressures to approximately pipeline
levels. A pressure relief valve (6) helps protect the system from high pressures.
To help prevent problems with the gas supplies:
• Install yoke plugs on all empty cylinder connections.
• When a pipeline supply is adequate, keep the cylinder valve closed.

O2 flow Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies O2 directly to the ventilator (7a for O2
drive gas) and the venturi suction (21a for O2 drive gas) supply connection. An
additional regulator (13) decreases the pressure for the flush valve (14a) and the
auxiliary flowmeter (25).
The flush valve supplies high flows of O2 to the fresh gas outlet (26 or 27) when you
push the flush button. The flush pressure switch (14b) monitors activation of the flush
valve.
When the system switch (8) is On, O2 flows to the rest of the system. If present, the O2
flow is directed through the O2 flow sensor (30a) in the optional TFS module (F).
A secondary regulator (10) supplies a constant O2 pressure to the O2 flow control valve
(11). There is a minimum flow of 25 to 75 mL/min through the O 2 flowmeter (12).
The O2 pressure switch (9) monitors the O2 supply pressure. If the pressure is too low,
an alarm appears on the ventilator display.

2-30 02/09 M1170027

 2 Theory of Operation

Air and N2O flow Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies Air directly to the ventilator (7b for Air
drive gas) and the venturi suction (21b for Air drive gas) supply connection.
When the system switch (8) is On, Air flows through the Air TFS sensor (30b if present)
to the Air flow control valve (19). Because there is no balance regulator, air flow
continues at the set rate during an O2 supply failure.
A balance regulator (15) controls the N2O supply pressure to the N2O flow control
valve (16). The O2 secondary regulator pressure at a pilot port controls the output of
the balance regulator. The N2O output pressure drops with decreasing O2 supply
pressure and shuts off hypoxic gas flow before the O2 supply pressure reaches zero.
A chain link system (Link-25) on the N2O and O2 flow controls (16, 11) helps keep the
O2 concentration higher than 21% (approximate value) at the common gas outlet.

Mixed gas The mixed gas goes from the flowmeter outlet, through the vaporizer manifold (D) and
vaporizer (23) that is On, to the ACGO selector switch (E). A pressure relief valve (24)
limits the maximum outlet pressure.
The ACGO selector switch directs the mixed gas to the selected circuit — to the
breathing system (26) or to the ACGO (27).

2.7.3 Suction Pipeline vacuum

regulators The suction regulator (shown in Figure 2-22) uses an external vacuum source.

Venturi Drive vacuum

The suction regulator (shown in Figure 2-23) uses an internal, venturi derived vacuum
source.
Drive gas (internally plumbed Air or O2) enters the Venturi Module (VM) at the drive port
(A). As the drive gas passes through the venturi module, a vacuum is created at port B.
The drive gas exits the venturi module at port C and is exhausted outside the machine
through the muffler (D).
The control port (E) on the venturi module responds to pneumatic signals from the front
panel switch on the Suction Control Module (SCM) to turn the venturi vacuum drive gas
on or off. The check valve (CV) helps prevent pressurization of the suction circuitry if the
exhaust is occluded or the venturi unit fails.

2.7.5 Flow control Needle valves (one for each gas) adjust gas flows. Clockwise rotation decreases flow.
Counterclockwise increases flow. Mechanical stops set minimum flows for all gases.
The link system sets the maximum ratio of N2O to O2.

w WARNING The Link 25 Proportioning System sets a minimum O2 concentration in the fresh
gas stream when only O2 and N2O are used. Use of an absorber or another gas
can still cause a hypoxic mixture to be delivered to the patient, especially at low
O2 flow rates.

Minimum flows At minimum flow, two tabs prevent clockwise rotation of the valve stem. One tab is on
the stop collar; the other is on the valve body.

M1170027 02/09 2-37

Link system The chain link system helps assure an approximate minimum 1 to 3 ratio of flow
between O2 and N2O. When engaged (minimum O2 concentration), a tab on the O2
knob is in contact with a tab on the O2 sprocket so that the O2 and N2O knobs turn
together:
• an increase in N2O flow causes an increase in O2 flow,
• a decrease in O2 flow causes a decrease in N2O flow.

Linkage Tabs

O2 Knob

Note For systems with the optional Total Flow Sensor module, the TFS module performs flow
monitoring only; it does not control flow delivery.
Higher concentrations of O2 are possible when the link system is not engaged: either by
reducing the N2O flow below the point of engagement or by increasing O 2 flow above
the point of engagement.
When the N2O flow is below the point of engagement, increasing the N 2O flow turns the
O2 sprocket without changing the O2 flow. At the point of engagement, the tab on the
O2 sprocket makes contact with the tab on the O2 knob. Once the linkage is engaged,
turning the N2O flow control counterclockwise (increase in N2O flow) also turns the O2
knob counterclockwise (increase in O2 flow) to maintain a nominal 25% minimum O2
concentration.
Decreasing the N2O flow from the engagement point rotates the tab on the O2 sprocket
away from the tab on the O2 knob. Increasing the O2 flow rotates the knob tab away
from the sprocket tab. Either action increases the O2 concentration above 21%.
Sufficiently decreasing O2 flow or increasing the N2O flow brings the two tabs back into
contact and engages the linkage.
The kick-in point is defined as the N2O flow at which the N2O valve becomes engaged
with the O2 valve flowing at 200 mL/min. This engagement point is an arbitrary
benchmark that assists in calibrating the proportioning system. The position of the
kick-in is set in the factory. During field calibration, you set the O 2 flow to 200 mL/min
and the N2O flow to the kick-in flow (usually in the range of 400 to 700 mL/min) and
then install the sprockets with the O2 knob/sprocket engaged.

2.8 Flow through the breathing system

2.8.1 Overview of This section looks at four types of flow paths.

flow paths •Ventilation paths: How gas flows from the drive source (bag or bellows) to and from
the patient.
•Fresh gas paths: Fresh gas can flow from the machine interface directly to the patient
through the inspiratory check valve, or through the absorber into the expiratory flow,
or directly to an external circuit through the optional auxiliary common gas outlet.
•Scavenged gas paths: APL or Pop-off.
•Flow through the optional EZchange Canister and Condenser: EZchange ON and
EZchange OFF (CO2 bypass).

bleed all gasses from the system.
a. Connect an O2 supply.
b. Set the system switch to On.
c. Set the flow controls to mid range.
d. Make sure that all gauges but O2 are at zero.
e. Disconnect the O2 supply.
f. Make sure that the O2 gauge goes to zero. As pressure decreases,
alarms for low O2 supply pressure should occur.
3. Make sure that the cylinders are full:
a. Open each cylinder valve.
b. Make sure that each cylinder has sufficient pressure. If not, close the
applicable cylinder valve and install a full cylinder.
4. Test one cylinder at a time for high pressure leaks:
a. Set the system switch to Standby, which stops the O2 flow.
b. If equipped, turn the auxiliary O2 flow control fully clockwise (no flow).
c. If equipped, turn off venturi derived suction.
d. Open the cylinder.
e. Record the cylinder pressure.
f. Close the cylinder valve.
g. Record the cylinder pressure after one minute. If the pressure
decreases more than 690 kPa (100 psig), there is a leak.
Install a new cylinder gasket and do this step again.
h. Repeat step 3 for all cylinders.

w WARNING Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use.
Cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve
supply in case of pipeline failure.

4.1 Self tests The system software includes self tests that determine whether the operating
software is functioning properly and whether the electronic circuits on the
circuit boards are functional.
The self tests include:
• Powerup tests
• Continuous tests
• Periodic tests

Powerup tests The following is a list of the tests run at powerup:

• Sequential watchdog
• Logical watchdog
• Memory test
• FLASH application md5 check
• Gas inlet valve test (electrical and pneumatic)
• Calibration of the manifold sensor
• Hw/Sw compatibility check
If one or more of these tests fail, the display provides a readout of the
problem.
The On and Off states of the Gas Inlet Valve (GIV) are tested at power up. The
manifold pressure will be tested to determine pass/failure. If the GIV causes
the self test to fail on power up, an alarm sounds and the message “Gas Inlet
Valve Failure” is displayed.
If the calibration of the manifold sensor fails on power up, an alarm sounds
and the message “Manifold Pressure Sensor Failure” is shown.

Continuous tests These tests are run continuously during normal operation and alarms are
associated with each test. A failure causes an alarm to display on the screen
in the alarm display area.
• Flow valve electrical feedback
• Supply voltage checks
• Battery voltage checks
The flow valve feedback signal is tested in non-mechanical and mechanical
ventilation states. The flow valve is closed in non-mechanical ventilation.

4.3.3 Test GIV To test the GIV (gas inlet valve) the software first closes the GIV and opens the
flow valve to the calibrated flow of the bleed resistor and waits for the flow to
stabilize (about 2 seconds).
Once the flow is stabilized, the software checks to see if manifold pressure
has dropped to less than 0.5 cm H2O. If manifold pressure does not drop
below 0.5 cm H2O, the test fails.

GIV Test FAIL instructions Failure can be caused by a valve or DAQ board malfunction.
Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the GIV solenoid;
it should be approximately 75 ohms.
• If necessary, replace the GIV solenoid (Section 9.25.2).
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the inlet valve connector on the
pneumatic connection board. The voltage should be between 11.82 and
12.90 volts when the GIV is powered open.
• If the voltage is between 11.82 and 12.90 volts,
service the GIV (Section 9.25.3).
• If the voltage is less than 11.82 volts,
replace the DAQ board (Section 9.24.1).

4.3.4 Test Drive Pressure The software tests the pressure limit switch to make sure that it trips at the
Limit Switch correct manifold over pressure. The software opens the flow valve to a value
where pressure continues to increase. It then waits for the DPL (Drive Pressure
Limit) switch to trip. The pressure at which the DPL switch tripped is indicated.
If the DPL switch never trips (within 15 seconds) the test fails. If the DPL switch
does not trip at a pressure within the correct tolerance, the test fails.

• a Public Port (Com 2), which is a standard RS-232 serial port.
• a Proprietary Port (Com 1), which is used to download software.
Each port can be tested separately or both ports can be tested together.

The Public Port Test

requires pins 6 and 13 of the Com 2 serial connector (DB-15) to be jumpered.
The Proprietary Port Test
requires pins 2 and 3 of the Com 1serial connector (DB-9) to be jumpered.

4.3.15 O2 Calibrations The O2 Calibrations take into account the altitude setting. Before starting the
calibrations, ensure that the altitude setting (in Calibrations/System
Configuration) is set to the appropriate altitude for the machine location.
Note: Ensure that the ACGO switch is in the ABS position.
For the 21% O2 calibration, software reads the A/D value for the O2 sensor
when the O2 sensor is exposed to room air (21% O2).
• If this A/D value is not within the tolerance, the calibration fails.
• If the calibration passes, the A/D value is stored in the EEPROM.
The sensor must be calibrated at 21% O2 before calibration at 100% O2.

Remarks Remove the O2 sensor from the breathing system and expose it to room air.
The displayed reading should be 21% ±2% to pass the calibration
requirements.
Reinstall the sensor that passed the 21% test in the breathing system and
expose it to 100% O2
• Ensure that the patient port (Insp) is not blocked; O2 must flow past the
O2 sensor to complete the calibration.
Select “Start 100% O2 Calibration” to begin test.
If it displays readings higher or lower than required to pass, replace the
sensor.

4.3.16 Calibrate Flow The software calibrates the inspiratory flow, expiratory flow, airway pressure
Sensors and manifold pressure transducers for zero flow/pressure offset voltage. It
does so by reading the A/D values for inspiratory flow, expiratory flow, airway
pressure and manifold pressure when the flow sensor module has been
disconnected from the bulkhead connector. If the A/D values are not within
the correct tolerance, the calibration fails. If the calibration passes, the offset
A/D values at which the inspiratory flow, expiratory flow, airway pressure and
manifold pressure transducers were calibrated at, are stored in the EEPROM.

Remarks Fail - indicates a problem with the ESIB.

Inspect the bulkhead connector and ESIB tubing for moisture or possible
occlusion.
Check for bad differential pressure transducer.
• Ensure that the flow sensor module is disconnected from the bulkhead
panel.
• Check the transducer outputs using the Display A/D menu.
• If the transducer is out of tolerance (Refer to Table 4-1, on page 4-13),
replace the ESIB assembly.

4.3.17 Calibrate Flow Refer to Section 5.5, “Flow Valve Calibration.”

Valve The software prompts the user to perform the procedural steps to calibrate
the flow valve. This is an automated calibration. It gradually opens the flow
valve and monitors the manifold pressure. When the manifold pressure
reaches 1.9 to 2.0 cm H2O, the value at which the flow valve has been opened
is saved. The flow valve is then closed. The value at which the flow valve was
opened to is then checked to make sure it is within the correct tolerance. If it is
not, the calibration fails. If the calibration passes, the flow valve calibration
point is stored in the EEPROM.

Remarks Check that the Bag/Vent selection switch is in the vent position. If the flow
valve calibration test fails immediately, the most likely fault is a failed
manifold transducer. It can also be a failed regulator or the regulator could
need calibration. Another cause could be a failed flow valve.

4.3.18 Bleed Resistor Refer to Section 5.6, “Bleed Resistor Calibration.”

Calibration The software calibrates the bleed resistor as described below. Other than the
setup procedure, this calibration is completely automated.

Calibration procedure
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the calibration:
• Set the drive gas
• Set the altitude
• Calibrate the Flow Valve
• Start Calibration
Software procedure
The software performs the calibration as follows:
1. Opens the flow valve to the high-pressure starting point
(where manifold pressure is 91-92 cm H2O).
2. Waits for the pressure to stabilize.
3. Once the pressure is stabilized, sets the flow to a predetermined level.
4. Wait for the pressure to stabilize.
5. Repeat steps 1-4, replacing step 3 with progressively smaller flows.
There are 17 points that are calculated for the bleed resistor calibration. If the
calibration passes, the calculated bleed resistor calibration points are stored
in EEPROM.
Remarks If the bleed resistor calibration test fails, check altitude and drive gas settings.
Ensure that the breathing circuit gas is exhausting out the scavenging port
during the test. A negative finding indicates a massive circuit leak. Check for
proper regulator pressure calibration. Ensure that the Flow Valve Cal test was
conducted properly. Otherwise, failure indicates a calibration problem with
the flow valve.

4.3.20 System The System Configuration menu includes settings that are tailored to the
Configuration specific machine.

Altitude The accuracy of some of the ventilator measurements is altitude sensitive. To

ensure the specified accuracy, the altitude setting should be set to the
specific altitude where each machine is located.
Altitude settings range from -400 to 3600 meters in increments to 100
meters.

Drive Gas Either O2 or Air can be used as the drive gas for the ventilator’s pneumatic
engine. To compensate volume calculations for the specific density of the
drive gas used, the drive gas selection on this menu must match the actual
drive gas.
To change the actual drive gas, refer to Section 9.26.

w CAUTION If you change the drive gas, you must also change the drive gas selection
on this service setup screen. If the drive gas selection and the actual
drive gas do not agree, volumes will not be correct.

MV Alarm Limits The setting for MV Alarm Limits determines how the MV Alarm Limits are set:
• If MV Alarm Limits is set to User Adjustable, the user sets the limits on the
Alarm Settings menu.
• If MV Alarm Limits is set to Automatic, the ventilator software calculates the
high and low MV alarm limits and sets them to ±20% of the set MV. The user
is still able to change the limits through the Alarm Settings menu in the Main
Menu.

5.1.2 Testing Primary There are two variations of the test procedure for the primary regulators:
Regulators • Test A — For primary regulators that supply drive gas to the ventilator.
• Test B — For all gases not used to supply drive gas to the ventilator.

Test A For primary regulators that supply drive gas to the ventilator (O 2 or Air):
Under low flow conditions, the output pressure of a properly adjusted/
functioning regulator should fall within specifications listed in step 4. Under
high flow conditions, the output pressure should not drop below the
specifications in step 10.
1. Remove the bellows assembly.
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
3. Set the system switch to On.
4. Low Flow Test: Set the fresh gas flow to 0.05 L/min (or minimum flow for
O2). When checking an Air regulator on systems that have a single
flowtube, open the needle valve 1/8 turn from the minimum stop to
achieve a flow close to 0.05 L/min.
• Close the cylinder valve and allow the pressure to decay to 2068 kPa
(300 psi) as indicated on the cylinder gauge (upper limit of the red band).
The flow may be temporarily increased to facilitate the decay.
• At the time that the cylinder pressure reaches 2068 kPa (300 psi), set
the system switch to Standby.
• Within one minute, the test device must stabilize between:
(60) DIN 372–400 kPa (54–58 psi)
(50) Pin Indexed 310–341 kPa (45.0–49.5 psi).
- If the test device pressure does not stabilize within one minute,
replace the cylinder supply.
- If the test device stabilizes within one minute, but the readings are
not within specifications, readjust the regulator (Section 5.1.3).
5. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
6. Enter the Service Mode:
(Push and hold the adjustment knob on the ventilator’s display and set the
system switch to On.)
7. Select and confirm “Service Mode.”
8. Select and confirm “Flow Valve Test Tool.”
9. Select and confirm “Set Flow (L/min).”

M1170027 02/09 5-3

Aespire View

10. High Flow Test: Rotate adjustment knob counterclockwise to obtain

65 (L/min):
• While watching the test device press confirm.
• After 2 seconds, Set Flow to 0 (L/min) and press confirm to stop the gas
flow.
• The minimum test device reading observed must be greater than:
(60) DIN 221 kPa (32 psi)
(50) Pin Indexed 207 kPa (30 psi)
Repeat this step three times.
If the test device reading under “high flow” conditions is less than
specified, readjust the regulator per the procedure in Section 5.1.3;
however, set the regulated pressure higher by the difference you noted in
this step plus 7 kPa (1 psi). This adjusts the “low flow” regulated output to
the high side of the specification so that the “high flow” regulated pressure
can fall within the specification.
If the regulator subsequently fails the “low flow” specification (step 4)
because the reading is too high, replace the cylinder supply.
11. Set the system switch to Standby.
12. Close the cylinder valve.
13. Bleed the system of all pressure.
14. Disconnect the test device and plug the test port (pull on the plug to
ensure it is locked in the fitting).
15. Replace the bellows assembly.
16. Replace the rear panel(s).
17. Perform the checkout procedure (Section 3).

Test B For all gases not used to supply drive gas to the ventilator:
Under low flow conditions, the output pressure of a properly adjusted/
functioning regulator should fall within specifications listed in step 4. Under
high flow conditions, the output pressure should not drop below the
specifications in step 7.
1. If the cylinder supply being tested is N2O, connect a source of O2 and set
the O2 flow control to the minimum stop (pilot pressure for secondary
regulator).
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve for the regulator being tested.
3. Set the system switch to On.

(50) Pin Indexed 310–341 kPa (45.0–49.5 psi).
- If the test device pressure does not stabilize within one minute,
replace the cylinder supply.
- If the test device stabilizes within one minute, but the readings are
not within specifications, readjust the regulator (Section 5.1.3).
5. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
6. Set the system switch to On.
7. High Flow Test: Set the flow control valve to the maximum indicated flow
on the flow tube.
• The test device reading must be greater than:
(60) DIN 221 kPa (32 psi)
(50) Pin Indexed 221 kPa (32 psi)
- If the test device reading under “high flow” conditions is less than
specified, readjust the regulator per the procedure in Section 5.1.3;
however, set the regulated pressure higher by the difference you
noted in this step plus 7 kPa (1 psi). This adjusts the “low flow”
regulated output to the high side of the specification so that the
“high flow” regulated pressure can fall within the specification.
- If the regulator subsequently fails the “low flow” specification
(step 4) because the reading is too high, replace the cylinder supply.

7.2 Breathing System Leak Test Guide

Note Always perform the low-pressure leak test (Section 3.10) on the machine before
proceeding with these breathing system leak tests.
The procedure in Section 7.2.1 helps you isolate the leak: to Bag Mode components, to
Vent Mode components, or to components that are common to both modes.
• If you have a similar leak in both the bag mode and the ventilator mode, you must
consider the Flow Sensor Module, the Circuit Module, the Absorber Canister area, and
the bulkhead components (including CGO tubing). Carefully inspect the circuit
module for damaged seals or misassembly, and the seating of the O 2 sensor.
• If you have a larger leak in one area than the other (Vent or Bag), the leak is most likely
NOT in the Flow Sensor Module, the Circuit Module, the Absorber Canister area, or the
bulkhead ports.
Follow the troubleshooting flowcharts in Section 7.2.2 to determine the best sequence
of tests for locating a breathing system leak.
The procedures in Section 7.2.3 test specific components of the breathing system for
leaks.

w WARNING Objects in the breathing system can stop gas flow to the patient. This can cause
injury or death:
• Do not use a test plug that is small enough to fall into the breathing system.
• Make sure that there are no test plugs or other objects caught in the
breathing system.

 7 Troubleshooting

7.2.1 Breathing This test checks for leaks in Vent Mode and Bag Mode components. It is part of the
system leak test overall checkout procedure, Section 3.12 “Breathing system tests.” It is repeated here
for testing convenience.
w WARNING Objects in the breathing system can stop gas flow to the patient. This can cause
injury or death:
• Do not use a test plug that is small enough to fall into the breathing system.
1. Verify that AGSS is operating. For systems that have a flow indicator on the side,
make sure that the flow indicator shows a flow in the green (normal) region.
2. Zero the airway pressure gauge (Section 5.8.1).

Check Valves 3. Make sure that the check valves on the breathing circuit module work correctly:
a. The Inspiratory check valve rises during inspiration and falls at the start of
expiration.
b. The Expiratory check valve rises during expiration and falls at the start of
inspiration.

Ventilator Bellows 4. Ventilator bellows test:

a. Set the system switch to Standby.
b. Set the Bag/Vent switch to Ventilator.
c. Set all flow controls to minimum.
d. Close the breathing circuit at the patient connection. Use the test plug located
on the side of the ABS.
e. Push the O2 flush button to fill the bellows.
f. The pressure must not increase to more than 15 cm H2O on the airway pressure
gauge.
g. If the bellows falls more than 100 mL/min (top of indicator), it has a leak.
Service Mode Tests 5. Enter the Service Mode: Push and hold the adjustment knob on the ventilator’s
display and set the system switch to On.
a. Select and confirm “Service Mode”.
b. Select and confirm “Breathing System Leak Test” (Section 4.3.6).
c. Follow the instructions on the screen.
d. The leak rate should be less than 200 mL/min.

M1170027 02/09 7-5

Bag Circuit 6. Test the Bag circuit for leaks:

a. Set the system switch to On.
b. Set the Bag/Ventilator switch to Bag.
c. Plug the Bag port (use your hand or the approved test plug).
d. Close the APL valve (70 cm H2O).
e. Set the O2 flow to 0.25 L/min.
f. Close the patient connection (using a hand or test plug on the side of the
breathing system) and pressurize the bag circuit with the O 2 flush button to
approximately 30 cm H2O.
g. Release the flush button. The airway pressure must not decrease. A pressure
decrease large enough to see on the gauge indicates an unacceptable leak.

APL Valve 7. Test the APL valve:

a. Fully close the APL valve (70 cm H2O).
b. Set the total fresh gas flow to approximately 3 L/min and make sure that the
value on the airway pressure gauge does not exceed 85 cm H 2O. Some pressure
fluctuation is normal.
c. Fully open the APL valve (to the MIN position).
d. Set O2 flow to 3 L/min. Turn any other gases off.
e. Make sure that the value on the airway pressure gauge is less than approximately
5 cm H2O.
f. Push the O2 flush button. Make sure that the value on the airway pressure gauge
stays less than 10 cm H2O.
g. Set the O2 flow to minimum and make sure that the value on the airway pressure
gauge does not decrease below 0 cm H2O.
8. Remove your hand or the test plug from the patient connection.
9. Set the System switch to Standby.

w WARNING Make sure that there are no test plugs or other objects caught in the
breathing system.

Troubleshooting For problems that do not generate any error or alarm messages, even though the system
instructions may not be functioning correctly:
• refer to Section 7.6, "Mechanical/electrical troubleshooting guide".
For system problems that result in an Alarm or Error message:
• refer to Section 7.3, "System Error Log".
• refer to Section 7.4, "Alarm messages".
• refer to Section 7.5, "Immediate System Shutdown error codes".
To help isolate a problem:
• refer to Section 7.7, "Troubleshooting Flowcharts".
To locate specific test points:
• refer to Section 7.9, "Power supply test points".
• refer to Section 7.10, "TFS test points".

Important If the system experiences extreme electrical interference, it may interrupt mechanical
ventilation. If this interruption occurs, the system generates an internal reset function
and resumes normal operation after two (2) seconds. For situations where continuous
electrical interference is experienced by the ventilator, causing a continuous
interruption, the ventilator's internal reset repeats until the interference ceases.
If the electrical interference is continuously present and mechanical ventilation is
interrupted for approximately 30 seconds, the system produces a continuous beeping
audio alarm. Manual ventilation of the patient must be performed while the
mechanical ventilation is interrupted. When the electrical interference ceases, the
continuous beeping audio alarm can be silenced only by turning the system OFF and
after five seconds back ON.

w WARNING This system operates correctly at the electrical interference levels of

IEC 601-1-2. Higher levels can cause nuisance alarms that may stop mechanical
ventilation.

w WARNING Manual ventilation must be performed when electrical interference causes

interruption of ventilator delivered mechanical ventilation. Manual ventilation
must be continued until the system resumes normal operation or an alternate
ventilator/anesthesia system can be used.

7.3 System Error Log

The Error Log (Section 4.3.2) displays up to 10 of the most current error messages that
have been logged.
Error messages include:
• Minimum Monitoring alarms that stop mechanical ventilation;
• Minimum System Shutdown alarms that stop mechanical ventilation and monitoring.
To troubleshoot Error Log messages, refer to Section 7.4, "Alarm messages".

7.4 Alarm messages

The Service Mode includes a log of the most recent Alarm messages (Section 4.3.1)
experienced by the ventilator system.
If an Informational alarm persists after the recommended action has been performed, the
Service Repair column indicates the probable component and related circuit that needs repair.
Use the Service Mode tests to isolate the fault.
For messages that begin with “Ventilate Manually:” and are followed by a specific message,
refer to the specific alarm message.
For numbers in parentheses preceded with an asterisk (*X), see the applicable footnote at the

Alarm Message footnotes:

(1) These alarms will de-escalate to informational priority following user acknowledgment by pressing the alarm silence switch.
(2) These alarms also have associated text displayed in the user messages window.
(3) This alarm is enunciated at the maximum volume level and is not silenceable.
(4) All minimum system shutdown alarms have high priority audio characteristics.
• If the minimum system shutdown condition is active while the Bag/Vent switch is in the Bag position and the user acknowledges
the condition by pressing the alarm silence button, the minimum system shutdown alarm audio is disabled.
• If the minimum system shutdown condition occurs while the Bag/Vent switch is in the Vent position and the user acknowledges the
condition by pressing the alarm silence button, the minimum system shutdown alarm audio is silenced for 120 seconds.
(5) All minimum system monitoring alarms have medium priority audio characteristics. All messages appear in the user messages window
(6) Flow sensors are also used to measure pressures.
(7) The sustained pressure threshold is calculated from the pressure limit setting. When mechanical ventilation is on, the sustained limit
is calculated as follows: for pressure limits < 30 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 6 cm H2O; for Plimit between 30 and 60 cmH2O,
the sustained limit is 20% of the pressure limit (Plimit); for pressure limits >60 cmH2O, the sustained pressure limit is 12 cm H2O.
If both PEEP and Mechanical ventilation are on, the sustained pressure limit increases by PEEP - 2 cmH2O (the compensated weight of
the bellows). When mechanical ventilation is off, the sustained pressure limit is calculated as follows: for pressure limits ≤60 cmH2O,
the sustained pressure limit is 50% of the pressure limit (Plimit); for pressure limits >60 cm H2O, the sustained pressure limit
is 30 cmH2O.

w WARNING To prevent fires:

• Use lubricants approved for anesthesia or O2 equipment, such as Krytox.
• Do not use lubricants that contain oil or grease; they burn or explode in high
O2 concentrations.
• All covers used on the system must be made from antistatic (conductive)
materials. Static electricity can cause fires.

w Obey infection control and safety procedures. Used equipment may contain
blood and body fluids.

w A movable part or a removable component may present a pinch or a crush

hazard. Use care when moving or replacing system parts and components.

w Some internal parts have sharp edges and can cause cuts or abrasions. Use care
when servicing internal components.

w When servicing the ventilator, extreme care must be taken to avoid introducing
foreign debris, particularly metal chips generated by screw threads, into the
pneumatic flow passages of the ventilator. Failure to do so can result in damage
to the flow valve and possible injury to the patient.

w After repairs are completed, always perform the checkout procedure. Refer to
Section 3 of this manual.

9.1 How to bleed gas pressure from the machine

Before disconnecting pneumatic fittings, bleed all gas pressure from the machine.
1. Set the system switch to On.
2. Close all cylinder valves and disconnect all pipeline supplies from the source.
Note: If the machine includes N2O, do not disconnect the O2 pipeline.
If pipeline O2 is not available, open the O2 cylinder valve.
3. Turn the flow controls for all gases (except O2) at least one turn counterclockwise.
4. Ensure that all cylinder and pipeline gauges read zero before proceeding.
• For machines with N2O, disconnect the O2 pipeline supply from the source
(or close the O2 cylinder valve).
• Press the O2 flush button to bleed O2 from the system.
5. Set the system switch to Standby.
