Important Datex-Ohmeda strongly recommends the use of O2 monitoring with this

equipment. Refer to local standards for mandatory monitoring.
European Standard EN 740 and International Standard IEC 60601-2-13/ISO
8835-1 require exhaled volume monitoring, O2 monitoring (in accordance
with EN 12598, or ISO 7767) and CO2 monitoring (in accordance with EN 864
or ISO 9918) be used with this equipment.
European Standard EN 740 and International Standard IEC 60601-2-13/ISO
8835-1 also require anesthetic agent monitoring (in accordance with ISO
11196) be used when anesthetic vaporizers are in use.
WARNING Always make sure that the pipeline supply hoses and the
breathing circuit components are not toxic and will not:
Cause an allergic reaction in the patient.

React with the anesthetic gases or agent to produce
dangerous by-products.
w To prevent incorrect values or equipment malfunction, use only

Datex-Ohmeda cables, hoses and tubing.
w This system operates correctly at the electrical interference levels

of IEC 60601-1-2. Higher levels can cause nuisance alarms that
may stop mechanical ventilation.
w To help prevent false alarms from devices with high-intensity

electrical fields:
Keep the electrosurgical leads away from the breathing

system, the flow sensors and the oxygen cell.
Do not allow the electrosurgical leads to contact any part of

the anesthesia system.
Do not use cell phones near the anesthesia system.
w To protect the patient when electrosurgical equipment is used:
Monitor the correct operation of all life support and monitoring

equipment.
Keep backup manual ventilation available in case the
electrosurgical equipment prevents safe use of the ventilator.
1-2 M1076286
w Do not use antistatic breathing tubes or masks. They can cause

burns if used near high frequency surgical equipment.

WARNING Obey applicable safety precautions:
Do not use the absorber with chloroform or trichloroethylene.
The Disposable Multi Absorber is a sealed unit which should

not be opened or refilled.
Avoid skin or eye contact with the contents of the absorber. In

the event of skin or eye contact, immediately rinse the
affected area with water and seek medical assistance.
Do not change the absorber during ventilation unless the

EZchange Canister system is installed.
Change absorbent often to prevent the buildup of

non-metabolic gases when the system is not in use.
Inspect absorbent color at the end of a case. During non-use,

absorbent can go back to the original color. Refer to the
absorbent labeling for more information about color changes.
If the absorbent completely dries out, it may give off carbon

monoxide (CO) when exposed to anesthetic agents. For safety,
replace the absorbent.
Desiccated (dehydrated) absorbent material may produce

dangerous chemical reactions when exposed to inhalation
anesthetics. Adequate precautions should be taken to ensure
that absorbent does not dry out. Turn off all gases when
finished using the system.
The absorber canister is available in two versions: Disposable Multi Absorber
and Reusable Multi Absorber. Both are removed and installed on the
breathing system in the same way.
Each canister holds 800 grams of loose absorbent. Datex-Ohmeda
recommends MedisorbTM absorbent.
Both absorber versions should only be used with mixtures of air, oxygen,
nitrous oxide, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, desflurane and sevoflurane.

When to change the A gradual color change of the absorbent in the canister indicates absorption
absorbent of carbon dioxide. The color change of the absorbent is only a rough indicator.
Use carbon dioxide monitoring to determine when to change the canister.
Discard the absorbent when it has changed color. If left standing for several
hours, absorbent may regain its original color giving a misleading indication of
activity.
Read the canister instructions completely before using the product.
Removing a canister 1. Hold the canister by the handle and push on the release latch to unlock
the canister.

Airway gas calibration

The airway gas selection is only available on the Calibration menu when the
system detects an airway module and the module has completed the warm up
phase. Refer to the Airway Module section in Part 1 of the Users Reference
manual for calibration instructions.
Backlight test
1. Push the Main Menu key.
2. Select Calibration.
3. Select Backlight Test.
4. Select Start Test.
5. The display will show the test running on light 1 and then on light 2. If the
display goes completely blank or flickers during the test, one of the lights
has failed. Contact a Datex-Ohmeda trained service representative to
replace the backlights.
How to help prevent water buildup

Pooled water in the flow sensors or water in the sensing lines may cause false
alarms. Small beads of water or a foggy appearance in the flow sensors is OK.
Water results from exhaled gas and the chemical reaction between CO 2 and
the absorbent that takes place within the absorber canister.
At lower fresh gas flows more water builds up because less gas is scavenged
and:
More CO2 stays in the absorber to react and produce water,
More moist, exhaled gas stays in the patient circuit and the absorber.
Solutions:
Empty the water reservoir in the canister when changing the absorbent.
Ensure that water condensing in the breathing circuit tubes is kept lower
than the flow sensors and is not allowed to drain back into the flow
sensors.
Water condensation in the breathing circuit tubing can be reduced by
using a Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) filter at the patient airway
connection.

Gas supplies Pressurized gas supplies enter the system through a pipeline or cylinder
connection. All connections have indexed fittings, filters, and check valves.
A regulator decreases the cylinder pressures to the appropriate system
pressure. A pressure relief valve 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 connected, keep the cylinder valve closed.
Disconnect the pipeline supplies when the system is not in use.
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.
O2 flow Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies O2 directly to the O2 channel

of the gas mixer and to the ventilator if O2 is configured as drive gas. If the
pressure is too low, an alarm appears on the display. A second regulator
decreases the pressure for the flush valve and the auxiliary O 2 flowmeter.
The flush valve supplies high flows (between 35 and 50 l/min) of O 2 to the
fresh gas outlet when the O2 flush button is pushed. The flush switch uses
pressure changes to monitor the position of the flush valve.
Air and N2O Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies air directly to the air channel
of the gas mixer and to the ventilator if air is configured as drive gas. If the
pressure is too low, an alarm appears on the display.
Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies N2O directly to the N2O
channel of the gas mixer. If the pressure is too low, an alarm appears on the
display.
Mixed gas Either Air or N2O can be selected as the balance gas. The balance gas flow is
controlled by the mixer. When Alternate O2 control is in use, only O2 is flowing
and balance gas is disabled.
The mixed gas goes from the mixer outlet through the vaporizer to the fresh gas
outlet and into the breathing system. A pressure-relief valve sets the
maximum outlet pressure.

EZchange Canister When activated, this mode permits continued ventilation and rebreathing of
exhaled gases without any gas passing through the absorbent.
Condenser The condenser removes water in the system that is produced from the reaction
of CO2 gas with the absorbent during low flow anesthesia (fresh gas flows less
than 1.5 l/min). The condenser is connected between the outlet of the
absorber canister and the inlet of the circuit module. Moisture in the gas is
condensed into water droplets, which run into the condenser's reservoir.

Ventilator theory
The ventilator pneumatics are at the rear of the breathing system. A precision
valve controls gas flow to the patient. During inspiration, this gas flow closes
the exhalation valve and pushes the bellows down. During expiration, a small
flow pressurizes the exhalation diaphragm to supply PEEP pressure.
Volume and pressure measurements come from flow sensors in the flow
sensor module. Two tubes from each sensor connect to a transducer that
measures the pressure change across the sensor, which changes with the
flow. A third transducer measures airway pressures at the inspiratory flow
sensor.
The ventilator uses the data from the flow sensors for volume-related
numerics and alarms. The ventilator also uses the flow sensors to adjust its
output for changes in fresh gas flow, small leaks, and gas compression
upstream of the breathing circuit. There is adjustment for compression in the
patient circuit.
For better precision a small quantity of gas bleeds through a resistor to help
keep the pressure on the exhalation valve constant. At high airway pressures,
this can cause a slight hiss during inspiration.
WARNING Always connect the expiratory flow sensor. If it is not connected,

the patient disconnect alarm can not operate correctly.
O2 monitoring O2 monitoring measures O2 concentration in the patient circuit. The O2

concentration measured from the O2 cell is shown on the ventilator display.
The O2 cell is an electrochemical device (galvanic cell). Oxygen diffuses
through a membrane into the cell and oxidizes a base metal electrode. This
oxidation produces an electrical current proportional to the partial pressure of
the oxygen at the electrodes sensing surface. The base metal electrode
gradually wears out from the oxidation process.
The voltage from the cell cartridge is affected by the temperature of the
monitored gas mixture. A thermistor in the cells housing automatically
compensates for temperature changes in the cell.
O2 monitoring uses signal processing and analyzing circuitry to convert the
cell signal into a corresponding % oxygen value. The system displays this
value and compares it to saved alarm limits. If the value falls outside the
limits, the monitor produces the appropriate alarms.

Figure 5-3 Volume control diagram
Volume control supplies a set tidal volume. The ventilator calculates a flow
based on the set tidal volume and the length of the inspiratory time (T I) to
deliver that tidal volume. It then adjusts that output by measuring delivered
volumes at the flow sensors. Since the ventilator adjusts output, it can
compensate for breathing system compliance, fresh gas flow, and moderate
breathing system leaks.
A typical volume-controlled pressure waveform increases throughout the
entire inspiratory period, and rapidly decreases at the start of expiration. An
optional inspiratory pause is available to improve gas distribution.

Figure 5-5 SIMV/PSV diagram
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) is a mode in which
periodic volume breaths are delivered to the patient at preset intervals (time-
triggered). Between the machine delivered breaths, the patient can breathe
spontaneously at the rate, tidal volume and timing that the patient desires.
At the specified time interval, the ventilator will wait for the next inspiratory
effort from the patient. The sensitivity of this effort is adjusted using the flow
trigger level. When the ventilator senses the beginning of inspiration it
synchronously delivers a volume breath using the set tidal volume, and
inspiratory time that is set on the ventilator. If the patient fails to make an
inspiratory effort during the trigger window time interval, the ventilator will
deliver a machine breath to the patient. The ventilator will always deliver the
specific number of breaths per minute that the clinician has set.
In SIMV, the spontaneous breaths can be pressure supported to assist the
patient in overcoming the resistance of the patient circuit and the artificial
airway. When the Psupport level is set, the ventilator will deliver the pressure
support level to the patient during inspiration. PEEP can also be used in
combination with this mode.
Spontaneous breaths that occur during this mode are indicated by a color
change in the waveform.

Figure 5-6 PSVPro diagram
PSVPro is pressure supported ventilation with apnea backup.

PSVPro is a spontaneous mode of ventilation that provides a constant
pressure once the ventilator senses that the patient has made an inspiratory
effort. In this mode, the user sets the Pressure Support (Psupport) and PEEP
levels. The patient establishes the rate, inspiratory flow and inspiratory time.
The tidal volume is determined by the pressure, lung characteristics and
patient effort.
PSVPro uses an inspiration termination level that establishes when the
ventilator will stop the pressure supported breath and cycle to the expiratory
phase. The inspiration termination level is user adjustable from 5% to 50%.
This parameter sets the percent of the peak inspiratory flow that the ventilator
uses to end the inspiratory phase of the breath and to cycle into the expiratory
phase. If the inspiration termination is set to 30% then the ventilator will stop
inspiration when the flow decelerates to a level equal to 30% of the measured
peak inspiratory flow. The lower the setting the longer the inspiratory time and
conversely, the higher the setting the shorter the inspiratory phase.
An apnea backup mode is provided in the event the patient stops breathing.
When setting this mode the user adjusts the inspiratory pressure (Pinsp),
respiratory rate and the inspiratory time (Tinsp). As long as the patient is
triggering the ventilator and the apnea alarm does not activate, the patient will
get pressure-supported breaths and the ventilator will not deliver machine
breaths.
If the patient stops triggering the ventilator for the set apnea delay time, the
apnea alarm will activate and the ventilator will automatically switch to the
backup mode that is SIMV (Pressure Control) + PSV mode. Once in this mode
the ventilator will begin delivering machine Pressure Control breaths at the
inspiratory pressure level, inspiratory time and rate that the user has set. If,
during this mode, the patient takes spontaneous breaths in between the
machine breaths, the patient will receive pressure supported breaths.

SIMV-PC mode Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation, Pressure Controlled mode is

a mode in which a relatively slow mandatory breathing rate is set with
pressure-controlled breathing. This mode combines mandatory breaths with
spontaneous breath support. If a trigger event occurs within the
synchronization window, a new pressure-controlled breath is initiated. If a
trigger event occurs elsewhere during the expiratory phase, a support for a
spontaneous breath is provided with pressure support added as set by the
clinician.

PCV-VG mode In PCV-VG, a tidal volume is set and the ventilator delivers that volume using a
decelerating flow and a constant pressure. The ventilator will adjust the
inspiratory pressure needed to deliver the set tidal volume breath-by-breath
so that the lowest pressure is used. The pressure range that the ventilator will
use is between the PEEP + 2 cmH2O level on the low end and 5 cmH2O below
Pmax on the high end. The inspiratory pressure change between breaths is a
maximum of 3 cmH2O.
This mode will deliver breaths with the efficiency of pressure controlled
ventilation, yet still compensate for changes in the patients lung
characteristics. PCV-VG begins by first delivering a volume breath at the set
tidal volume. The patients compliance is determined from this volume breath
and the inspiratory pressure level is then established for the next PCV-VG
breath.

described in ASTM F1101. The ventilator is assumed to be operating in
volume mode. For the following to be true, the ventilator is operating with 100
percent oxygen in the breathing system; or, it is connected to an anesthesia
gas analyzer. If the ventilator is operating without being connected to an
anesthesia gas analyzer, additional errors are described in the gas
composition chart.
Minimum detectable breath size is 5 ml.

Immunity test IEC 60601-1-2 test Level Compliance level
Recommended separation distance
Portable and mobile RF communications

equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the system, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from
the equation appropriate for the frequency of the
transmitter.
Conducted RF 3 Vrms 3 Vrms (V1) D=3.5P

IEC 61000-4-6
80 MHz to 2.5 GHz D=3.5P 800 mHz to 2.5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter
manufacturer and D is the recommended
separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz;
13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz
are intended to decrease the likelihood that a portable communications device could cause interference if it is inadvertently
brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation
distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
field strength in the location in which the system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the system should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
re-orienting or relocating the system.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.
Note: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects, and people.
5-32 M1076286
Recommended The system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which
separation distances radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the
system can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment (transmitters) and the system as recommended below, according
to the maximum power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance D in meters (m) can
be determined using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of
the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz to 800 MHz the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: The ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553
MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
Note 3: An additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in the ISM
frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz to decrease the likelihood that
mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas.
Note 4: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection
from structures, objects, and people.

Electrical safety
The system provides connections for items such as printers, visual displays
and hospital information networks. When these items (non-medical
equipment) are combined with the system, these precautions must be
followed:
Dont place items not approved to IEC 60601-1 closer than 1.5 m to the
patient.
All items (medical electrical equipment or non-medical electrical
equipment) connected to the system by a signal input/signal output
cable must be supplied from an AC power source which uses a separating
transformer (in accordance with IEC 60989) or be provided with an
additional protective earth conductor.
If a portable multiple socket outlet assembly is used as an AC power
source, it must comply with IEC 60601-1. The assembly must not be
placed on the floor. Using more than one portable multiple socket outlet
assembly is not recommended. Using an extension cord is not
recommended.
Do not connect non-medical electrical equipment directly to the AC outlet at
the wall instead of an AC power source which uses a separating transformer.
Doing so may increase enclosure leakage current above levels allowed by IEC
60601-1 in normal conditions and under single-fault conditions. This may
cause an unsafe electrical shock to the patient or operator.
After connecting anything to these outlets, conduct a complete system
leakage current test (according to IEC 60601-1).
WARNING An operator of the medical electrical system must not touch

non-medical electrical equipment and the patient
simultaneously. This may cause an unsafe electrical shock to the
patient.
IEC-60601-1 Classification
The system is classified as follows.
Class I equipment.
Type B equipment.
Type BF equipment.
Ordinary equipment.
Not for use with flammable anesthetics.
Continuous operation.
