General Information
1.
Personnel must make themselves

familiar with the contents of this
manual and the machines function
before using the ventilator.
Servicing and Repair

2.
Opening the control unit by

unauthorised
personnel
automatically voids all warranties
and specifications.
Prevention of tampering with the
control unit is exclusively the
users responsibility. If the control
unit seal is broken,
the
manufacturer assumes no liability
for any malfunction or failure of the
ventilator.
3.
Before Using the Ventilator
Great care must be taken not to

damage the precision surface of
the valve seat on the patient gas
exhalation diaphragm valve in the
base of the bellows assembly.
8.
Before the ventilator is used

clinically for the first time, verify
that the hospital engineering
department has carried out an earth
continuity test.
9.
Excessive electronic noise caused

by other poorly regulated devices,
such as an electrocautery unit, may
adversely interfere with the proper
functioning of the ventilator.
Never use any hard object or

abrasive detergent to clean it; use
only a soft cloth.
If the valve seat is damaged, the
valve will leak and may cause
serious ventilator malfunction.
4.
5.
To avoid this problem, do not

connect the ventilators power cord
into the same electrical wall outlet
or adaptor strip into which an
electrocautery unit is connected.
For continued protection against

fire hazards, replace the two fuses
only with the identical type and
rating of fuse.
See section 4.39 for fuse rating.
If the internal battery is fully
discharged, the ventilator will not
function in the event of mains
power failure. The battery must be
recharged before the ventilator is
used clinically, otherwise backup
battery
10.
If used with a mains extension cord,

the unit may be subject to electromagnetic interference.
11.
The driving gas supply must be

clean and dry to prevent ventilator
malfunction.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

12.
This ventilator is designed to be

driven by oxygen or medical air
only. It is calibrated during
manufacture for use with either
gas.
Before the ventilator is used
clinically for the first time, the
commissioning engineer must
confirm
that
the
internal
Air/Oxygen switch is set correctly
for the gas that is to be used.
The use of any other gas will cause
inaccurate operation and may
damage the ventilator, resulting in
potential injury to the patient.
13.
The driving gas is discharged

through the opening in the back of
the ventilator control unit. This
opening is labelled: EXHAUST DO
NOT BLOCK and must be
completely free of any obstruction
and nothing should be connected
to it.
15.
Do not use conductive or anti-static

breathing system hoses.
16.
The discharged gas does not

contaminate the environment, but
on machines using oxygen as the
drive gas it can cause a fire hazard
if allowed to accumulate.
Applying negative or positive

pressure to the exhaust port may
result in positive or negative
pressure in the patient breathing
system. Therefore the scavenging
system must not generate more
positive or
than 0.5 cmH2O
negative pressure when connected
to the ventilator.
Any problem arising from an
improperly functioning scavenging
system is solely the users
responsibility.
In addition, do not block the PRV

outlet on the back of the control
unit,
and also the pneumatic system
outlet on the base of the unit.
14.
The breathing system which

conveys
gases
from
the
anaesthetic machine to the patient,
and disposes of expired gases, is a
vital part of the anaesthetic delivery
system.
Because breathing systems require
frequent cleaning and disinfection
they are not a permanent part of the
anaesthetic
ventilator
and
therefore cannot be directly under
the control of the anaesthetic
ventilator manufacturer.
However, we strongly recommend
that only breathing systems which
have
been
approved
and
authorised by Penlon for use with
AV800 should be employed.
The bellows can only support

approximately 1 kPa (10 cmH2O)
differential positive pressure,
above which it may be dislodged
from the mounting ring, resulting in
dangerous malfunction of the
ventilator.
Do not connect a PEEP valve or
other restrictive device to the
exhaust port on the bellows base.
This would increase the pressure
inside the bellows and the bellows
could detach from the base,
causing serious malfunction.
3
17.
Do not connect a spirometer to the

exhaust port on the bellows base.
The device will not measure
exhaled volumes.
18.
The operation of each alarm

function should be verified daily.
See section 5.3.1.
Periodically check the alarms at
suitable intervals. If the audible
alarm or the visual indicator of any
alarm function fails to activate
during any alarm condition or fails
to reset after the alarm has been
cleared, refer the unit to an
authorised service technician.

19.
Before using the ventilator check

that all connections are correct,
and verify that there are no leaks.
monitored continuously, at or near

the proximal airway with an oxygen
monitor that includes high/low
alarms.
Patient circuit disconnects are a

hazard to the patient. Extreme care
should be taken to prevent such
occurrences.
25.
If the drive gas supply pressure

drops below a nominal 262 kPa (38
psig), the LOW DRIVE GAS
SUPPLY alarm will activate both
audibly and visually.
Patient
minute volume may be reduced due
to lowered flow rates
26.
An audible alarm indicates an

anomalous condition and should
never go unheeded.
27.
The characteristics of the breathing

circuit connected between the
ventilator and the patient can
modify
or
change
patient
ventilation.
It is recommended that Penlon

Safelok
fittings
are
used
throughout the breathing circuit.
Using the Ventilator

20.
This apparatus must not be used

with, or in close proximity to,

24.
fire
or
To assist the maintenance of the

delivered patient tidal volume, the
ventilator control system software
includes
a
compliance
compensation algorithm.
Anaesthesia apparatus must be

connected to an anaesthetic gas
scavenging system to dispose of
waste gas and prevent possible
health hazards to operating room
staff. This requirement must be
observed during test procedures
as well as during use with a patient.
Any problem arising from an
improperly functioning scavenging
system is solely the users
responsibility.
However, patient ventilation must

be monitored independently from
the ventilator.
It is the responsibility of the user to
monitor patient ventilation.
28.
When the ventilator is connected to

a patient, it is recommended that a
qualified
practitioner
is
in
attendance at all times to react to
an alarm or other indication of a
problem.
On models with spirometry, the

spirometer flow sensor must be
installed in the expiratory limb of
the breathing circuit.
A breathing system filter, or heat
and moisture exchanger (HME),
must be connected upstream of the
sensor to prevent blockage of the
side-stream sample lines
In
compliance
with
good
anaesthesia practice, an alternative
means of ventilation must be
available whenever the ventilator is
in use.
29.
The AV800 is not equipped with an

oxygen
analyser.
It
is
recommended that the patient
oxygen
concentration

The
Vent
Inop
(ventilator
inoperative) alarm indicates that
one of the following conditions has
occurred:
A) A solenoid has failed.
B) The flow control valve has failed.
C) Internal electrical fault.
D) Internal communications error

E) Battery disconnected
F) Software error
Note that if a ventilator error is
detected, an error code will be
displayed in the Rate BPM display
window on the front control panel.
30.
The High and Low Airway Pressure

Alarms are important for patient
care.
The ventilator is designed to be
used with a distal sensing tee only.
(Catalogue No. 53194, Breathing
System Tee Assembly - see section
8 in the user manual).
The distal sensing tee must be
located close to the circle system,
in the inspiratory limb of the circuit
between the patient and the circle
system inspiratory one way valve.
See section 5.1.4.
Do not sterilise the ventilator control

unit.
The internal components are not
compatible
with
sterilisation
techniques and damage may result.
2.
For ventilator components which

require sterilisation, peak sterilisation
temperatures should not exceed
136oC (275oF) to prevent possible
damage. (See sections 7.2 and 7.3).
3.
Those parts suitable for ethylene

oxide sterilisation should, following
sterilisation, be quarantined in a well
ventilated area to allow dissipation of
residual gas absorbed by the
components.
The exhalation valve located in the

bellows base assembly and the
paediatric bellows adaptor must be
cleaned and sterilised separately. See
sections 7.2 and 7.3.
5.
Care must be taken not to let any

liquid run into the control unit; serious
damage may result.
6.
Always check for correct fitment, and

carry out a full function test before
clinical use, if the bellows has been
removed and refitted for any reason.
See sections 5.2 and 7.2.
7.
Damage may occur to the battery if it

is allowed to remain in a discharged
state.
Check the battery frequently if the
ventilator is in storage (see Appendix
1).
CAUTIONS
1.
4.
Follow the steriliser manufacturers

recommendations for any special
aeration periods required.
2. PURPOSE

General
The ventilator drive gas supply can be

oxygen or air, and the supply must be at 38
to 100 psig. Note that the drive gas is
specified by the customer prior to delivery.
To change the drive gas, refer to a Penlontrained service engineer.
The AV800 is a multi-mode, time-cycled,

volume/pressure controlled, and pressure
limited ventilator for closed circuit ventilation
or for use with a Mapleson D circuit.
The ventilator is compliance compensated
and has a user selectable option of an
inspiratory pause fixed at 25% of the
inspiratory time.
The print function provides a permanent
record of function activity for up to eight
hours during a procedure.
The bellows unit can be easily detached and
then refitted to the bellows base assembly to
facilitate cleaning.
Models are available with a manometer

and/or spirometry, and the ventilator can be

The drive gas is filtered with a 40-micron

Input Gas Filter
which protects the
pneumatic components from incoming
particulate matter.
Refer to the system diagrams above.

The AV800 Ventilator is designed to operate
on a 38-100 psig drive gas supply (oxygen or
air - to customers requirement).
The gas source is connected to the Drive
Gas Supply DISS fitting on the rear of the
ventilator control unit and should be capable
of a flow rate of 75 L/min while maintaining a
minimum pressure in excess of 38 psig.
The Low Supply Pressure Detector is a

pressure switch set at a predetermined level
to detect a loss or reduction of the input gas
source pressure. When the pressure falls
below 38 psig (262 kPa), the LOW SUPPLY
PRESSURE indicator will illuminate and the
high priority alarm will activate.

DESCRIPTION
The Input Pressure Regulator conditions the
input drive gas to a stable 35 psig pressure
which will operate the internal pneumatic
system.
spirometry, the actual tidal volume

exhaled will be displayed.
The patient must be monitored
independently from the ventilator
monitor the patient for adequate
ventilation.
The Inspiratory Valve is a large orifice,

electro-pneumatically-driven valve which
supplies the drive gas to the Drive Gas Flow
Metering Valve .
A compliance compensation algorithm is

built into the control software which
monitors the volume of gas delivered and
the rate of pressure rise.
It calculates an additional volume to deliver
into the breathing system to compensate for
the reduced volume delivered to the
patient as a result of the increased
breathing system pressure.
As a safety feature, this additional volume is
restricted to a maximum of 15% of the set
tidal volume irrespective of the maximum
pressure rise.
The Drive Gas Flow Metering Valve is a

variable-orifice
needle
valve
which
determines the drive gas flow rate of the
bellows during inspiration.
The Valve Position Feedback Potentiometer
and the Flow Control Motor
function
together to set a flow rate as required by the
front panel controls.
The flow from the Drive Gas Flow Metering
Valve goes to the Bellows Assembly, via the
drive connector, closes the exhalation
diaphragm valve and pushes the bellows
downward.
As the bellows moves downwards, the gas
inside the bellows is forced into the
Breathing System.
User Selectable Inspiratory Pause

A user selectable inspiratory pause is
provided which, when activated, holds the
inspiratory phase at the end of inspiration,
for a period of 25% of the inspiratory time
before reverting to the expiratory phase.
At the end of inspiration the exhaust valve

opens and allows the drive gas in the top of
the bellows housing to exhaust out through
the Exhaust Outlet.
As the pressure in the top of the bellows
housing is reduced to zero, the patient
exhales into the breathing system and the
bellows rises.
NOTE
This function is not available in
PRESSURE controlled cycle
Automatic altitude compensation

Ambient pressure is monitored and the
ventilator automatically compensates the
delivered volume according to the local
atmospheric pressure.
Compliance Compensation
WARNING
The
AV800
has
compliance
compensation but the actual tidal volume
delivered to the patient may be different
to the ventilation parameters set by the
user due to:
A) an extreme compliance condition,
B) a substantial system leak, or
C) patient circuit pressure effects.
In addition, high fresh gas flows will lead
to an increased Vt being delivered to the
patient.
Note that on models fitted with
Manometer (if fitted)

The manometer connection is connected
to the pressure gauge.

Control Unit
The Inspiratory valve is closed.

The
ventilator maintains the set

High Pressure Protection

High pressure in the ventilator is limited by
three independent protective systems.
The pressure transducer has already been
described.
In addition, the Driving Gas Over-pressure
switch is set at 80 cmH2O and will shut off
drive gas flow at this value.
Further, the Pressure Relief Valve is a
mechanical over-pressure relief which will
open at 80 cmH2O, diverting the driving gas
to atmosphere through the PRV exhaust
port.
The Exhaust Outlets on (a) the back of the
control unit, and (b) the base of the control
unit, accept the drive gas exhaust from all
internal pneumatic components.

(High priority)
(Disconnect Alarm)
A visual indicator and an audible alarm
which activate if the pressure sensed at the
patient tee-piece in the expiratory limb of
the breathing circuit does not increase by at
least 4-14 cmH2O during a ventilator
inspiratory cycle, depending on tidal volume
setting.
Once this alarm is activated, it remains on
until the required pressure difference is
reached.
This alarm can be silenced for 30 seconds.

back-up battery cuts in automatically.
A fully charged battery will power the
ventilator for 60 minutes.
See Appendix 1 for battery care procedures.
LOW BATTERY
(Low priority / Medium priority)
A visual indicator and an audible alarm
which activate if the internal battery is almost
exhausted, indicating that ventilation will
soon cease.
When approximately ten minutes of battery
backup time remains, the alarm will change
from low to medium priority.
To prevent damage to the battery, the
ventilator will shut down before the battery is
fully discharged.
VENT INOP
(High priority)
The VENT INOP (ventilator inoperative)
alarm indicates that one of the following
conditions has occurred:
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
F)
Back-up Battery
A solenoid has failed,

The flow control valve has failed,
Internal electrical fault,
Internal Communications error,
Battery disconnected,
Software error

Set-up
WARNING
Excessive electronic noise caused by
other, poorly regulated devices, such as
electrocautery, may adversely interfere
with the proper functioning of the
ventilator.
To avoid this problem, do not connect the
ventilator power cord into the same
electrical wall outlet or strip into which an
electrocautery unit is connected.
5.1.1 Components supplied with

the ventilator
Check that the ventilator has been supplied
with:
(a)
A 210 mm long, 16 mm diameter,
corrugated hose to connect the
control unit to the bellows assembly
(b)
Drive gas hose (to customer
specification)
(c)
Electrical mains supply cable (to
customer specification).
(d)
Pressure sampling line and T-piece.
(e)
Spirometer sampling line and T-piece
(supplied with spirometer option
machines only)
5.1.4 Ventilator gas connections

Before the ventilator can be used, the
following preparation must be made:
1.
5.1.2 Mounting the ventilator

The AV800 can be mounted on the
anaesthetic machine as a single, complete
unit.
Locate the ventilator in a safe place.
Preferably, mount it permanently on the
anaesthesia shelf of the machine or on a
strong bracket to protect the ventilator from
accidental fall and accidental disconnection
of the hoses.
To mount the ventilator permanently on a
Penlon bracket:
1.
Align the four mounting feet over the
mating holes in the bracket.
2.
Use four M4 screws inserted through
the bracket and rubber feet and
screwed into into the threaded inserts
in the base of the ventilator.
Verify the drive gas specified for the

ventilator (oxygen or air) and connect
the drive gas inlet port on the rear of
the control unit to a dry, oil free supply
at 38 to 100 psi (2.6-6.9 bar, 262-689
kPa)
To change the drive gas, refer to a
Penlon-trained engineer.
The drive gas inlet port is labelled:
OXYGEN / AIR 38 -100 PSI
OXYGEN SUPPLY - O2 cylinder,
anaesthetic machine O2 auxiliary gas
outlet, or O2 pipeline supply from a
wall outlet.
AIR SUPPLY - Air cylinder,
anaesthetic machine air auxiliary gas
outlet or air pipeline supply from a wall
outlet.
2.
Connect the 16 mm diameter

corrugated hose (provided), between
the control unit drive gas outlet
(labelled: BELLOWS DRIVING GAS)
and the bellows base DRIVING GAS
port.
3.
Connect the bellows base EXHAUST

port, with a 30 mm hose, to a properly
functioning scavenging system. The
diaphragm valve under the bellows is
connected internally to the EXHAUST
port to facilitate the discharge of
excess breathing gas at the end the
expiratory phase.
Pole-mount type mounting brackets are

available, see section 8.
5.1.3 Ventilator electrical

connections
Before connecting the ventilator to the mains
supply, check that the power supply is within
the correct rating as stated on the label on
the rear of the control unit.

WARNING
Applying negative or positive pressure to

the bellows exhaust port results in
positive pressure in the patient breathing
system.
Therefore, the scavenging system must
not generate more than 0.5 cmH2O

connected to the ventilator.
Any problem arising from an improperly
functioning scavenging system is solely
the user`s responsibility.
5.
protect
The High and Low Airway Pressure

Alarms are important for patient care.
The ventilator is designed to be used with
a distal sensing tee only. (Catalogue No.
53194, Breathing System Tee Assembly.)
It is important that the distal sensing tee
is properly located in the inspiratory limb
of the breathing system.
6.
Set the AIRWAY PRESSURE LIMIT
control to 50 cmH2O.
Connect
the
MANOMETER/
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER port on
the rear panel of the control unit to the
breathing system.
The recommended placement for the
distal sensing tee is in the inspiratory
limb of the breathing system close to
the circle system inspiratory valve.
Use a Heat and moisture exchanger
(HME) at the patient Y piece, or a
breathing
system filter
in the

Use a breathing system bacterial filter
in the expiratory limb of the breathing
circuit or a heat and moisture
exchanger (HME) at the patient Y
piece. See illustration above.
9.
Connect a 2-litre breathing bag to the

patient connection as a test lung.
10.
Close the anaesthetic machine APL or

PRV valve in the breathing system.

8.1
8.1.1
Cleaning
inspected at least every six months or after

1200 hours of use, whichever comes first.
The bellows must be replaced if it shows
signs of aging
The bellows can be removed by carefully
pulling it off the base.
Outside surfaces and

bellows housing
CAUTION
Care must be taken not to allow liquids to run
into the control unit; serious damage may
result.
Check that the unit is disconnected from the
electrical supply before cleaning.
Do not use cleaning solutions containing
alcohol; the bellows housing may be
damaged.
Exhalation Diaphragm Valve

The exhalation diaphragm valve is under the
bellows and can be removed by loosening
the three thumbscrews.
The valve seat is now visible.
WARNING
Great care must be taken not to damage
the precision surface of the diaphragm
valve seat (A).
Never use any hard object or abrasive
agent to clean it; use only a soft cloth
(alcohol wipe recommended).
If the valve seat is damaged, the
diaphragm valve will leak and may cause
serious malfunction.
To clean the outside surface of the ventilator,

use a damp cloth.
If necessary use a warm, mild detergent
solution to remove resistant grime. Make
sure that all detergent residues are fully
removed after cleaning.
Never use any harsh abrasive cleaning
agent. The transparent acrylic bellows
housing (canister) and, in general, the
surfaces of the control unit are not scratch
resistant.
Using an alcohol wipe, clean the seat (A),

and the metal disk (B) attached to the base
of the diaphragm valve, thoroughly and
remove all contamination from the surfaces
of both components.
The inside of the canister, under normal

conditions, is not in contact with the
breathing gas and therefore only needs
cleaning as described above.
NOTE
If excessive contamination is discovered,
check that a bacterial filter is used in the
expiratory limb of the breathing circuit (or an
HME at the patient tee-piece).
See section 5.1.4.
Remove the canister by slightly twisting it

counter-clockwise until the tabs at the
bottom clear the bayonet locks, then lift it
straight up from the base.
8.1.2
After cleaning, check that the small O-ring

(C) located in the bellows base under the
diaphragm valve is in place. The ventilator
will not function if the O-ring is missing.
See section 8.2 for information on
sterilisation procedures.
Bellows and exhalation

diaphragm valve
Refer to illustration on next page.

Each time the bellows assemblies are
opened for cleaning, all visible components
must be carefully inspected and damaged
parts must be replaced.
Refit the diaphragm valve assembly to the

bellows base and reassemble the bellows
assembly.
CAUTION
Always check for correct fitment of the
bellows (see illustration) and carry out a full
function test of the ventilator before clinical
use.

Spirometer Sensor and

Tubing Assembly
On a regular basis (at least weekly), the sensor

assembly and sample lines must be thoroughly
cleaned, and sterilised as necessary.
a) Carefully detach the sample lines from the
Luer taper connectors on the rear panel of the
ventilator, and remove the spirometer assembly
(A) from the absorber.
b) Wash the components, and sample lines
by rinsing with clean (distilled) water poured
into the outlet (not under pressure).
Ensure that all traces of solid contamination
are flushed out.
Note
Latest tubing assemblies have a restrictor
fitted to the tube marked VENT END (B)
After washing, check that the restrictor is not
blocked.
c)
Sterilisation - see section 8.2, below.
d) When the components are dry, refit the

sample lines to the spirometer sensor
assembly and connectors on the rear panel of
the ventilator.
The tube labelled VENT END (B), must be
fitted to the ventilator rear panel, as illustrated
above.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
8.2
Sterilisation
Recommended guidelines for sterilisation:
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to components, peak sterilisation temperatures must not exceed
54oC (130oF) for gas (ethylene oxide) or, 134oC (275oF) for steam autoclave.
Do not sterilise the ventilator control unit. The internal components are not compatible with
sterilisation techniques and may be damaged.
Following sterilisation with ethylene oxide, components must be quarantined in a well
ventilated area to allow dissipation of any residual gases.
Follow the recommendations given by the steriliser manufacturer for aeration periods.

APPENDIX 1
CARE OF BACK-UP BATTERY
CAUTION
Damage may occur if the battery is allowed to remain in
a discharged state. Never discharge the battery to below 10.2 volts.
A. Battery installed in ventilator

The battery must be charged before the machine is released
for use with an 14 hour charge from the ventilators internal power
supply (ventilator connected to the mains supply, but not
running).
Note that the OFF indicator will show a yellow light
during charging.
Subsequently the recharge periods for a battery on a machine
in store are similar to those in B, below.
Batteries in machines in normal use will be kept charged by the
internal power supply and will only require special charging care
following the discharge test carried out during function testing,
or if the battery is fully discharged following use during mains
failure.
B. Battery care/storage requirements.

During storage batteries will require a periodic recharge, the
frequency of which is determined by the storage temperature,
which must not exceed 50oC (120oF).
