Quality and Assurance in Anaesthesia

IMPORTANT
Servicing and Repairs
In order to ensure the full operational life of this

ventilator, servicing by a Penlon-trained
engineer should be undertaken periodically.
The ventilator must be serviced to the following

schedule:
(a) Six monthly service - inspection and

function testing.
(b) Annual service.
(c) Five year major service including battery
replacement.
Details of these operations are given in this

AV800 Service Manual, available only for
Penlon trained engineers.
For any enquiry regarding the servicing or

repair of this product, contact the nearest
accredited Penlon agent:

CAUTIONS
1. 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.
Follow the steriliser manufacturer’s

recommendations for any special
aeration periods required.

2. PURPOSE
The AV800 Ventilator is a software

controlled, multi-mode ventilator, designed
for mechanical ventilation of adult and
paediatric patients under general
anaesthesia.
In addition, in spontaneous mode, it can be
used to monitor spontaneously breathing

It is designed for use in closed-circuit
anaesthesia and also to drive a Mapleson D

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

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.
ITEM METHOD

10. APPENDIX
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 ventilator’s 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).
Storage Recharge
temperature period
38 to 50oC (100 to 122oF) 1 month
21 to 38oC (70 to 100oC) 3 months
7 to 21oF (45 to 70oF) 6 months
0 to 7oC (32 to 45oF) 9 months
-5 to 0oC (23 to 32oF) 12 months
Duration - recharge until the charge current is less than 25 mA (typically overnight).
It is recommended that at each charge an updated label is affixed to each battery to indicate
date of the last charge.
C Battery disposal
Dispose of used batteries according to hospital, local, state, and federal regulations.
