SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
l l
Read this manual carefully and familiarize yourself with the ventilator before attempting to use it in a clinical procedure. The built-in, self-monitoring, circuits of the ventilator are very sensitive to leakage in the patient circuit. It is vitally important to ensure that all equipment is in good condition and that all connections and joints are correctly made. The KESTREL ventilator contains ferrous materials and is not suitable for use in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environments. Further information regarding the Ventilator/Anaesthesia Machine physical interface is contained in the: FALCON Maintenance Manual: Anmedic Tech.Pub. 0041-113.

INTRODUCTION General
Introduction
The KESTREL Ventilator is designed for use in conjunction with the Anmedic FALCON anaesthesia machine. It requires the use of a circle system provided with a B.I.B (Bag-in-Bottle) drive to ventilate a patient connected to the anaesthesia machine. The ventilator provides the necessary power (in the form of driving-gas, AIR or OXYGEN supplied from the FALCON), to generate volumes and pressures in the ventilating system. The ventilator is controlled by 2 micro-controllers ( A and B) which work independently of each other while monitoring each other over a serial interface. Controller A is responsible for data input and display control. Controller B is responsible for capture of metered data and control of switching valves. The display controls allow selection of a variety of ventilation modes and parameters; allowing the driving pressure and volume to be set at pre-determined levels.
Version 40.xx only
The following ventilation modes can be selected via the controls at the display panel:IMV Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation PLV Pressure Limited Ventilation SIMV (when specified) Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Spontaneous Ventilation (via STANDBY mode) Manual Ventilation (via STANDBY mode)
Version 5.xx only
The following ventilation modes can be selected via the controls at the display panel:IMV Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation PCV Pressure Controlled Ventilation SIMV (when specified) Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Spontaneous Ventilation (via STANDBY mode) Manual Ventilation (via STANDBY mode) Inspiration flow is calculated from the selected values for I:E Ratio; Tidal Volume and Breath Rate. The fresh gas flow and compliance of the ventilator circuit are compensated for. Inspiration plateau phase can be achieved by manually increasing the inspiration flow above the minimum value displayed. When SIMV is required; first select the SIMV mode on the main PCB, then fit the SIMV Flowsensor to the base connection of the Bag-in-Bottle and make the pneumatic and electrical connection from the flowsensor to connectors at the rear of the ventilator (as described in the section Setting to Work). A rechargeable battery provides emergency power in case of mains failure. The battery charges as long as the ventilator is switched ON. When fully charged it allows 30 mins emergency operation. A microprocessor provides 2 charging levels:(1) ON and STANDBY - high charge (2) ON and VENTILATE - reduced charge

Introduction 1.2
Maintenance Manual
Power and Pressure Supply
Driving-gas (AIR or Oxygen) is provided through the FALCON anaesthesia machine at a nominal pressure of 340 - 420 kPa. Electrical power (115V or 230V, 50/60 Hz, AC) is provided via the FALCONs mains power supply. Driving-gas and mains power are both monitored during operation. An alarm is activated if, during operation, the driving-gas pressure is too low to supply the selected flow-rates. In the event of mains power failure, the KESTREL can continue operating without interruption through the built-in emergency battery supply. Use of the emergency supply is signalled by a high priority alarm and a visual display. 1.3 Patient Connection The KESTREL is connected via the FALCON to the B.I.B systems pressure chamber and the circle system is connected to the B.I.B via the pneumatic bag/vent switch (built into the B.I.B.) l (SIMV only) The SIMV flowsensor must be fitted between the patient system and the B.I.B. The function of the sensor is inspiration-flow dependent triggering during SIMV operation, and airway pressure data capture. WARNING The SIMV flowsensor lines and the armoured electrical heater cable must be connected to the marked connectors at the rear of the KESTREL ventilator. (see section 5 page 5) l (For all breathing modes) Connect the pressure line from the distal end of the expiratory limb of the patient circuit to the single connector on the front panel of the ventilator. Refer to the section Setting to Work for details of necessary connections.

Maintenance Manual 2 CONTROLS
2.1 Ventilator Display (see Diagram of Front Panel, page 2-2)
The ventilator is provided with a double-row, 40-digit, back-lit, LCD display, mounted in the control panel. During the powering-up phase, and in conjunction with the T1 Functions Test, the display is used exclusively for control messages. During operation, individual sections of the display are allocated to specific labelled parameters. The displayed parameters can be altered by means of a rotary control in conjunction with the appropriate setting key.
Switching from VENTILATE to STANDBY , or vice versa, is achieved by pressing the marked key. The selected mode being indicated by a green or yellow indicator colour. The ventilation mode can only be changed between volume and pressure modes during STANDBY. During operation, ventilator control is via the keypad on the front panel (see Diagram). This contains 10 operating keys and the rotary/press control wheel. All the functions are appropriately identified. The Rotary Control is used to set and then confirm ventilation parameters. The value to be altered is first selected by pressing the relevent key. This causes the selected value to flash in the display. The value may now be altered by turning the rotary control (clockwise to increase counter-clockwise to decrease). When the desired value has been set it can be entered by pressing the rotary control (input, enter, <ETR>. 2.3 Alarms (General)
2.2 Using the Ventilator Controls (General)
The KESTREL ventilator is provided with alarm indicator lights and an audible warning.
High Priority Alarms are indicated by a flashing red light above the rotary control.
Low Priority Alarms are indicated by a steady yellow light above the rotary control. When the alarms are silenced; the warning lights remain illuminated.
NOTE Short-term alarms only activate the audible warning in the event of a fault; however, they are stored and displayed to allow later identification. The storage of an alarm status is cancelled by pressing the Silence Alarm key. In the event of a continuous fault; the audible warning can be cancelled for a period of 2 minutes at a time.

If alternative settings are required at the start of ventilation; use the relevant keys to change the displayed settings while still in the STANDBY mode. Note however, that the parameters may be changed at any time during active ventilation. In Figure 2, (opposite page), the Inspiration Flow has been increased. The desired tidal volume is reached in a shorter time period. Since I:E Ratio remains the same (1 :2); a pressure plateau forms which remains until the expiration phase commences.

Modes
SIMV is a ventilation mode where the ventilator is monitoring the flow of gas during the expiration phase. If the patient attempts to breath the flow sensor will recognise this activity and deliver a mandatory breath. This mandatory breath will conform to the settings displayed.
Breath stacking does not occur due to monitoring functions within SIMV. The ventilator will delay the next breath for as long as possible (the time being dependant on rate and I:E Ratio). The ventilator will not deliver a breath if the patient is breathing. If the ventilator is consistantly triggered, ALL breaths will be triggered by patient activity and the ventilator will deliver triggered mandatory breaths upto the set breath rate. Any triggering above this set rate will be ignored (no mandatory breaths delivered) and the patient will be able to breath spontaneously Refer to Figures 1- 4 Terms
The objective of the ventilator is to maintain the set breath rate. This is achieved by varying the length of the expiration phase. If a triggered breath occurs during the normal expiration window the next expiration window will be extended to compensate for the set breath rate.
Trigger Window: The time interval within the expiration phase during which mechanical inspiration can be triggered. Mandatory Pause: A safety interval of 0,3s at the beggining of the expiration phase where no triggering can occur. This prevents spurious triggering caused by unstable flow measurement.
l l l
The Trigger Window opens at the start of respiration. (possibly delayed by 0,3 s depending on operational conditions) and the length of the window is determined by the setting of I:E Ratio and Breath Rate. Triggering occurs when an inspiration flow of 3,0 L/min is measured for 30ms by the SIMV flowsensor.
The SIMV respiration cycle always starts with the expiration phase. (Unlike IMV which commences with the inspiration phase ). No spontaneous breaths can occur during mechanical ventilation.

3.3.2 User-selected parameters
If alternative settings are required at the start of ventilation; first confirm the ventilation mode and set the pressure by adjusting the Breath Pressure at the ventilator and confirm. Then, while still in the STANDBY mode, change any other settings as required. Note however, that the parameters may be changed at any time during active ventilation. CAUTION In the interests of patient safety, the HIGH PRESSURE alarm is tied to the value for BREATH PRESSURE, so that:High Pressure Limit = Breath Pressure + 10 hPa
In PCV, the High Pressure button is deactivated. High Pressure limits will be altered when the value for Breath Pressure is altered (Breath Pressure + 10 hPa).
In Figure 3 (opposite page), the inspiration flow has been increased. This increases the slope of the graph so that the set pressure is achieved in a shorter period of time. Inspiration time is decreased and expiration time increased (to fit the set breath rate ).
In Figure 4 ( opposite page ), the inspiration flow has been decreased. This decreases the slope of the graph so that a longer period of time is taken to achieve the set pressure. Inspiration time is increased and expiration time decreased (to fit the set breath rate ). In Figure 5 (next page), the inspiration flow has been decreased to a level at which the set pressure cannot be achieved within the time allowed by the breath rate. In this case the ventilator switches to the expiration phase of the cycle before the set pressure is reached. This activates the PRESSURE LIMIT alarm -which remains active until the start of the next inspiration phase and will then resume each time the set pressure is not reached.
NOTE If the PRESSURE LIMIT alarm condition remains for longer than 15 seconds; the alarm changes to a DISCONNECTION alarm.

4.1 General
Alarms
An alarm is triggered when the ventilator detects a physical defect in the equipment or if any of the operator-defined parameters are not met. The alarms fall into 3 groups:1 PATIENT SYSTEM (disconnection, high pressure, pressure limit not achieved) SYSTEM ERROR (ventilator failure)
POWER SUPPLY (driving-gas failure, mains power failure, battery failure)
The Power Supply Alarms are triggered as follows:l l l
HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (280 kPa driving-gas pressure not achieved during expiration) HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (mains power fails -machine switches to battery) HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (battery becomes exhausted during mains failure)
The System Error Alarms are triggered when:-
l Either of the micro-processors fails or their mutual interface becomes faulty. Then, an alarm is activated; ERROR messages displayed; the machines switches to an IDLE state. (This state is defined as a no-pressure state at the Bag/Vent Switch). During the IDLE state, the patient can breath spontaneously and be ventilated by using the Reservoir Bag. Pressure-Iimiting:-
l In addition to the selection of pressure-Iimiting during operation; the machine is provided with a system for limiting the driving-gas maximum pressure to 75 hPa. This is achieved by a spring-Ioaded pressure-control valve -the correct operation of which is tested during the T1 Test.

k l m n 4-2
Airway Pressure is displayed in the form of a bar graph, within which the high pressure limit may be set and displayed. When the set high pressure is reached; a high priority alarm is triggered and the ventilator switches immediately to expiration. The pressure is actively limited to the set high limit. Expiration Volume must be monitored with an external monitor with limitalarms -since the ventilator generates a defined inspiration tidal volume. Ventilation system monitoring is achieved by cyclic monitoring of airway pressure in the inspiration and expiration phases. A disconnection alarm triggers in the event of faulty pressure values.
Maximum airway pressure limiting is achieved by the use of a spring-Ioaded pres sure-limiting valve set to 75 hPa. Controllable pressure limiting is provided in the ventilator by adjusting the High Pressure setting on the display and an APL valve on the BIB controls the pressure (between 1.5 and 65 hPa) for the spontaneous circuit.

A high priority alarm is triggered when airway pressure reaches the set high pressure limit. This terminates the inspiration phase; switches off driving-gas and opens the expiration valve; so reducing the airway pressure to minimum. The acoustic alarm lasts as long as the fault remains unrectified and can be suppressed for a period of 120s at a time. The visual alarm flashes as long as the fault remains. Once the fault is rectified; the alarm remains illuminated for later identification until manually reset. The high priority alarm state is terminated as soon as-an inspiration phase is successfully concluded (but the red lamp stays illuminated and the error message will remain until the MUTE button is pressed to clear the message ).

IMV/SIMV -the alarm is triggered when the inspiration pressure does not rise above, and fall below PEEP + 7 hPa.
PCV -the alarm is triggered when the initial inspiration pressure does not rise above and fall below, Breath pressure -2 hPa. PLV -the alarm is triggered when the initial inspiration pressure does not rise above and fall below, Breath pressure -2 hPa. SIMV FLOWSENSOR SIMV Flowsensor
A high priority alarm is triggered when a fault within the flowsensor or its associated circuits is recognised. SYSTEM PRESSURE
A high priority alarm is triggered if a difference between driving-gas pressure and patient pressure of > 4 hPa is recognised during the inspiration phase. This alarm has no delay and can be triggered at any time during the ventilation phase. The most common problem that causes this alarm is the bellows are empty due to leakage or disconnection

In the event of the pressure limit not being reached during PCV (Pressure Controlled Ventilation); a low priority alarm is triggered during the first 30s and automatically resets when the condition is rectified. If the condition lasts longer than 30s, the alarm switches to a high priority state and must be confirmed before it can be turned off. This alarm can be triggered due to the inspiration flow being set too low. ACTIVE ONLY IN PLV MODER RE LIMIT In the event of the pressure limit not being reached during PLV (Pressure Limited Ventilation); a low priority alarm is triggered during the first 30s and automatically resets when the condition is rectified. If the condition lasts longer than 30s, the alarm switches to a high priority state and must be confirmed before it can be turned off. FRESH GAS HIGH
ACTIVE ONLY IN PCV MODE
A low priority alarm is triggered if an excessively high fresh gas flow rate is set at the flowmeter. In this case, bellows movement is much reduced or absent -therefore ventilation is carried out only by the fresh gas flow and the specified Tidal Volume cannot be guaranteed (it may be higher or lower than that set). The alarm automatically resets as soon as the fresh gas flow is reduced. An alarm is also triggered if the fresh gas flow exceeds 25 L/min. (Not activated when the O2 Flush is used). PRESSURE < -8mBar
A High Priority alarm is triggered if the pressure in the patient circuit is reduced to less than -8 mBar. (A state which I if continued, will damage the pressure transducers of the ventilator and monitor presenting a potential hazard for the patient). e.g. In a closed circuit, when a sampling-pump (which is used by some monitors), may reduce the patient circuit pressure to a negative value.

BATT OVERLOAD
ALARMS Description (continued)
Alarms
Battery discharged please wait 20 mins A high priority alarm is triggered if the battery becomes defective ( e.g. through overloading or overcharging) or if the battery has become discharged to the point where safe operation can no longer be assured. The ventilator switches into the IDLE state when the battery becomes defective. The patient can breathe spontaneously, or be ventilated manually.
WARNING l Kestrels with serial numbers below 88990252 must not be allowed to discharge beyond the point at which the low battery message is given. These older ventilators can be identified internally by having one relay on the main PCB; newer versions have two relays close together. The extra relay protects later versions by making the unit shut down before it can discharge the battery below a certain level (10.75V) at some point below this level, the battery of earlier versions of the ventilator can be permanently damaged by so-called deep discharge. Once permanent damage has ocurred the ventilator will not pass its T1 test and will be unusable. (see also diagrams page 12-4 & 12.5)
WARNING l
The FALCON anaesthesia machine is provided with an automatic solenoid valve which will interrupt the driving-gas supply to the ventilator in the event of simultaneous failure of both the mains power supply and the ventilatorsemergency battery. Should this occur; ventilation must continue with the use of the reservoir bag. MAINS FAILURE
A high priority alarm is triggered in the event of mains power failure. This indicates that the ventilator has automatically switched to its internal emergency battery power. HARDWARE FAULT
A high priority alarm is triggered if the ventilator recognises the development of a fault in its associated hardware (i.e. valve operation). WATCHDOG ERROR
A constant alarm is triggered if the internal watchdog circuits, which constantly monitor the performance of the ventilator, recognise the development of any electronic circuit faults. The ventilator will display a series of numbers to inform the user of what type of fault has occurred, e.g. 30 24 16. Record these numbers to aid in diagnosing the fault. Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed.

Alarms 4.3

ALARMS Description (continued)
Maintenance Manual
A ventilation fan is incorporated in the ventilator casing. If the ventilator is driven with oxygen; the fan prevents oxygen concentrating internally in the event of an internal gas leak. The rotation of the fan is monitored optically and if it fails to rotate a high priority alarm is triggered. A high priority alarm is triggered during expiration if the gas-supply pressure is insufficient to provide the required driving-gas flow. The alarm sounds for as long as the fault remains unrectified and during this time it can be muted for periods of 120 seconds at one time. When the fault in gas supply is rectified, the visual alarm remains illuminated until it is manually reset. Ventilation cannot be guaranteed due to the drop in driving gas pressure and it is suggested that the ventilator is switched to standby and manual ventilation is used. PRESSURE FAULT version 5 software BELLOWS DRIVE
FAN FAULT
A high priority alarm is activated in PCV if a sustained high pressure (above breath pressure) is monitored during expiration. In this event, the ventilator suspends ventilation and switches to a state displayed by flashing of both GREEN and YELLOW LEDs at the VENTILATE/STANDBY button. If this occurs; the VENTILATE/STANDBY button must be pressed in order to place the ventilator in the STANDBY mode which resets the alarm. Remedial action can now be taken and the VENTILATE mode reselected as appropriate. PRESSURE FAULT version 40 software

Setting to Work
The phases of setting the ventilator to work are:l l l l l Preparatory Phase (5.1 ) Function Test (5.2) Selection of Ventilator Mode (5.3) Parameter Input (5.4) Ventilate/Standby (5.5)
SETTING TO WORK
All phases must be correctly carried out if the ventilator is to operate efficiently. 5.1 Preparatory Phase This phase includes assembly of the circle system and all hose connections. As far as the ventilator is concerned, fitting the SIMV flowsensor into the patient connection and connecting the associated pneumatic lines are of particular importance. Assembly of the Breathing System The sequence of assembling patient system components depends on the type of circle system to be used. Various options are illustrated in the FALCON OPERATORS MANUAL although the list is not exhaustive. However, it will be necessary to make the following connections:(1) (2) Fit the hose from the Bag-in-Bottle (BIB) to the circle system.
(For SIMV only) -fit the SIMV flowsensor to the connector in the base of the BIB. (For non-SIMV and SIMV) -fit the patient pressure monitoring line to the connec tor at the front face of the ventilator (marked Patient). (For SIMV only) -Fit the SIMV flowsensor twin-tube pneumatic line from the flowsensor to the 2 marked connectors at the rear panel of the ventilator and also connect the flowsensor armoured, electrical heater cable to the 2-pin socket at the rear face. Fit the reservoir bag to the connector in the base of the BIB. Proceed with the Function Test (T1 ). (Section 5.2 on ...)

Setting to Work
Maintenance Manual
T1 (Function) Test
In the interests of safety, EN 60601-1:1990 requires that no danger to patients, users and objects may arise when the first fault develops (single-fault condition). KESTREL is designed purely as a ventilator (without respiration monitor). Safe operation can only be ensured by the use of an additional monitor which provides independent supervision of respiration parameters. The FALCON anaesthesia machine MUST be provided with a monitor complying with EN740. EN 60 601-1 requires that safety installations must be duplicated, to prevent a dangerous situation arising should one system fail. l One safety system is represented by the presence of the external respiration monitor. l The second is formed by the monitoring functions of the ventilator.
During the powering-up phase of the ventilator, the T1 Test checks the functionality of the ventilators integrated safety systems. A functional test of the external monitor then ensures that both workstation safety systems are operational at the start of anaesthetic ventilation. 5.2.2 Method
The T1 test is divided into two parts. The first part is mandatory and cannot be by-passed. The second part requires the operator to participate in the test process. The T1 Test starts automatically as soon as the ventilator is switched on. The test checks that all ventilator functions and safety systems operate correctly before each session of use. Safe operation of the ventilator is possible only when the T1 Test has been performed without a fault being detected.
WARNINGS
When the T1 Test has been by-passed the responsibility for safe operation lies with the operator who must ensure that all apparatus is in an appropriate condition.
In an emergency, when immediate use of the workstation is required, part of the T1 Test may be by-passed by using a coded key-operation (1 + 2 + 3). In this case a complete check of the circle system is not carried out and SIMV is not available.
The patient must not be connected during the T1 Test

6.2.1 In the STANDBY phase, the Bag-in Bottle is separated from the circle system by the pneumatic Bag/Vent switch and is connected to the Reservoir Bag.
VENTILATE I STANDBY Phase:
By pressing the VENTILATE I STANDBY key, the selected operational phase can be directly switched on - (as long as all inputs have been confirmed). l l The green LED is lit during VENTILATION. The yellow LED is lit during STANDBY- this mode may last indefinitely (it is a battery charging mode). STANDBY WARNINGS .
l The visual display bargraph remains active during the STANDBY phase. l The patient alarms and the machine alarms are turned off during the STANDBY phase. l The bellows cannot be filled during the STANDBY phase. l In STANDBY breathing is either spontaneous or is manually induced using the reservoir bag 6.2.2 Altering target & limit values during the VENTILATION phase
All parameters, including the high pressure limit, can be altered during VENTILATION. On pressing the appropriate key, the display for the parameter to be changed starts to flash and can be changed to the desired value by the rotary control.
During this stage, the ventilator continues working with the existing parameters. The new parameter is confirmed, <ETR> , by pressing the rotary control or pressing another key. The current respiratory stroke continues without interruption using the old values, and the new values become active with the next respiratory stroke.
When parameters are changed during the STANDBY phase, the new values commence with the first respiratory stroke immediately after switching to VENTILATE. Switching to a different ventilation mode during ventilator operation can only be achieved via the STANDBY phase, except IMV and SIMV.
Altering multiple values. It is possible to alter more than one value without the necessity to confirm <ETR> between each change. CAUTION (MODE SWITCHING) Individual parameters may change, since operational ranges are defined in different ways in the various ventilation modes. (Refer to Sections on opposite page). Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001) 6-2
6.2.3 Switching over from (IMV to SIMV) or (SIMV to IMV): (When SIMV is specified)
When switching over from IMV to SIMV, all individual set parameters are copied directly. In order to optimise SIMV operation (and particularly to ensure a sufficiently long timewindow) appropriate parameters (BPM and I:E) can be altered. l In order to maintain the same ventilation format as during the previous IMV operation, then the previously indicated inspiration flow must be maintained. e.g. If, after switching to SIMV, it is intended to reduce the number of respiration strokes per minute -while maintaining the existing ventilation pattern, then:j k l Read off the existing inspiration flow value.
Reduce the SIMV frequency to the desired value. This will cause the inspiration flow to be reduced in accordance with the frequency set. The inspiratory ventilation pattern is now maintained.
Now reset the displayed inspiration flow to its previous value by reducing I:E ratio.
6.2.4 Switching over between PCV and IMV/SIMV: (When SIMV is specified)
When entering the PCV mode; the Breath Pressure and the High Pressure settings will default to 10 hPa and 20 hPa respectively, regardless of the previous settings. 6.2.5 Switching over between PLV and IMV/SIMV: (When SIMV is specified)
When entering the PLV mode; the Breath Pressure and the High Pressure settings will default to 10 hPa and 20 hPa respectively, regardless of the previous settings.

Keep all spare parts/Service Kit items, in their packing until they are required for use. Do not reuse O-ring seals. As soon as they are removed, old O-rings should be cut through and discarded. MAINTENANCE WARNINGS (GAS HAZARD) Dust, oil and excess grease can cause explosions in pressurised systems. Never allow oil to come into contact with oxygen under pressure, nor with oxygensystemcomponents. Grease should only be used where specified in this manual. Use only the specifiedoxygencompatiblegreaseanduseitsparingly. Components requiring greasing should be dismantled after initial assembly and surplus grease wiped off before final assembly. Pay special attention to keeping pipe bores and internal drillings clean and free from grease.
7.9.3 MAINTENANCE WARNINGS (ELECTRICAL HAZARD) l l l Do not use the ventilator if the electrical power supply lead has evidence of physical damage(e.g.cutsorabrasion). Do not use the ventilator if the mains supply plug is damaged. Do not use the ventilator if there is any sign of overheating.

CLEANING AND STERILISING THE SIMV FLOWSENSOR

7.11.1 CLEANING At regular intervals the SIMV flowsensor should be dissembled and the stainless-steel mesh examined for cleanliness. (Figure 1 refers). If necessary, the mesh should be carefully cleaned using a cold sterilising solution and a non-metallic SOFT BRUSH. (Do not use harsh mechanical cleaning meth ods). Alternatively, the mesh may be cleaned with a high liquid flow. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly in sterile water and dry with hot air To dissemble the SIMV flow sensor proceed as follows: (Figure 1 refers) l l l l l Remove the flowsensor from the base of the Bag-in-bottle by unscrewing the retaining halfnut or toggle (10) and pulling the flowsensor from the Bag-in-bottle connector. Remove the double-lumen silicone tubing by unscrewing the 2 plastic luer connectors from their connections at (08)(09) and disconnect the armoured heater cable from its plug at (02). Unscrew the knurled securing-ring (06) and separate the halves of the flowsensor. Remove the stainless-steel mesh (04) from between the halves. Re-assemble in reverse order.
7.11.2 STERILISING Note: the SIMV flowsensor (complete) must not be autoclaved. Exposing the SIMV flowsensor to excessively high temperatures can damage the sensors heating resistance and prevent availability of the SIMV ventilation mode.
The tubing may be autoclaved but the process may be inefficient for small-bore tubes. If necessary, cold sterilant can be passed through the tubing by means of a syringe. If this is done it is very important to ensure that the tubing is thoroughly rinsed in sterile water and dried with warm air before use. After use with cases of gross infection the double-lumen tubing and the single-lumen patient-pressure sensor line should be renewed. 7.11.3 CONSUMABLE SPARE PARTS Double-lumen tubing set (complete with Luer connectors) Patient-pressure sensor line (tubing only) SIMV sensor stainless steel mesh SIMV sensor complete 7-5 Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001) Part No. 8857-022 Part No. 0026-002 Part No. 8857-212 Part No. 8857-211
All SIMV sensors must, therefore, be cold sterilised and not autoclaved.

Offset Two numbers appear in the display that are relative to voltages applied to the two proportional valves when they are fully closed. The proportional valves control the flow of drive gas into the ventilator. The drive gas is used to compress the bellows and deliver a controlled tidal volume to the patient. Each of the propor tional valves controls a range of flows. The ranges are from 0 to 25 Lpm and 26 to 90 Lpm. Two operational amplifiers are used to drive the valves. If the control wheel is rotated the message Offset changes to Bellows and a number will appear that indicates the flow of drive gas in Litres per minute that is being driven into the bellows chamber. The flowrate that is being driven is calculated from information from differential transducer P3. Freshgas Output from the hot-wire transducer positioned behind the flowtubes of the anaesthetic machine. This is a combined flow measurement and amplifica tion device that measure the flow of fresh gas being delivered from the flowmeter bank.

SERVICE AND REMOVAL OF THE PEEP AND EXPIRATION VALVE
Maintenance Manual
Replacement part numbers: see section 9-18 Information: The Peep valve is attached to the pneumatic manifold block. To gain access to the Peep valve it is necessary to remove the ventilator from the anaesthesia unit and gain access to the internal components by removing the lower cover of the ventilator. The Peep valve is serviced once per year. The valve has two functions: To control the level of PEEP in the patient circuit above 3hPa To control the flow in the patient circuit during expiration.
Special Tools: A tool suitable for levering that will not damage plastic. Locate: PEEP and expiration valve
Procedure (Servicing): 1. Remove the ventilator from the anaesthesia machine in accordance with the in structions in Section 9.2. 2. Turn the ventilator over and remove the five screws that secure the lower cover. 3. Remove the straddle clip that is secured with two nuts. 4. Move the valve away from the pneumatic block but no further. The valve has a taper fit and will normally require some force to dislodge it. Be extremely careful and ensure the plastic is not damaged. A slight twisting action can help with removing the valve. 5. Detach the front plastic section from the motor drive. The plastic section is re moved by twisting the two parts counter clockwise for approximately 1/3 of a turn. The fitting is of the bayonet type. 6. Remove the silicone membrane from the plastic section taking note of how it is fitted. 7. Fit a new membrane. 8. Refit the plastic section. Note that there are three lugs that engage on the motor section. One of these is larger than the other two. Ensure that it is fitted in the correct position. 9. Refit the valve into the pneumatic block ensuring the hose connection is lying as flat as possible. Ensure the taper is engaged so a gas tight seal is created. 10. Refit the saddle clamp and the two nuts. Do not over-tighten the saddle clamp nuts as damage to the valve can result.

(continued) Procedure (Removal): Locate: Connector X4 pins 9 (+ve) and 10 (-ve) PEEP valve 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. With ventilator removed from the anaesthesia machine, remove both the upper and lower covers of the ventilator. Locate connector X4 pins 9 and 10. Remove the two wires and feed the wires through the chassis towards the valve. Remove the two nuts that secure the saddle clamp. Move the valve away from the pneumatic block This may require some force as the fitting is a taper. If you use a lever ensure no damage occurs to the plastic part of the valve. A twisting motion may help the removal. Remove the 22mm hose from the plastic section of the valve. Remove the valve from the ventilator. Refitting is carried out by following the above instructions in reverse.
Maintenance Manual
Refitting:
Testing: Once the valve has been successfully fitted, the ventilator must be refitted to the anaesthesia machine with the top cover still removed. 1. Calibrate the ventilator (see Calibration section) 2. Run a T1 test. 3. Run the ventilator (using a suitable test lung) and input various PEEP values. With each value that is set ensure that the PEEP pressure displayed on the bar graph is correct within +/- 1 hPa after 2 breaths. 4. Refit the top cover of the ventilator. 5. Prepare the ventilator and anaesthesia machine (in accordance with the manufacturers instructions) so that it is ready for clinical use.

REPLACING SILICONE TUBING
WARNING When fitting tubing to push-on connectors it is important not to grip the tubing so tightly that the tubing is crushed and occluded. The pressure generated by pushing a dead-ended tube onto a pressure transducer can easily destroy the transducer. CAUTION The silicone tubing set provided is sufficient to re-tube one ventilator. It is very important that the tubes are not crossed during replacement and that the connections are correctly made. It is recommended that before the original tubes are removed, each end of the same tube is marked so that the lines can be traced from connection to connection.
Procedure: With the ventilator removed from the anaesthesia machine as described in Section 9.2; and the ventilator case removed: Refer to Diagrams - Tubing Connections. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Prepare the tubes for removal by first using a soft, lead pencil to mark the opposite ends of the same tube. Take care not to cross tubes when marking the ends of the double-lumen set. Using a soft, lead pencil, carefully mark the ends of the replacement tubes. Take great care not to press too hard on the tubing because it is very soft and the ends must not be damaged. Working one tube at a time, remove the tube and fit the replacement tube(s). Recheck the newly installed tubes to ensure that the connections are good and that the tubes run smoothly without sharp bends or kinks. Replace the cover; refit the ventilator to the anaesthesia machine and carry out the T1 Test.
