1.0 AM-6000 Anesthetic Machine Theory of Operation
1.1 Introduction about AM-6000 Anesthetic Machine

The AM-6000 is a continuous flow anesthetic system which offers manual or automatic ventilation,
easily adjustable fresh gas delivery, anesthetic agent delivery, ventilation monitoring, convenient
ergonomics, and state-of-the-art safety system.
1.1.1 Basic Principle

AM-6000 Anesthetic Machine have the airway to deliver oxygen, nitrous oxide, air and the inhaled
anesthetic agent.When the part of airway uses oxygen, nitrous oxide and air, the pressure should
reduce to 280kPa～600kPa, and then the gas flow through high pressure gas pipeline into the
anesthetic machine. Oxygen, air flow into the flow meter by the protection regulator in anesthetic
machine, when the pressure of oxygen keeps over the 0.05MPa, the nitrous oxide block valve is open,
nitrous oxide flow into the flow meter. Adjust the flow of Oxygen, nitrous oxide and air by the flow
control valve on flow meter, the linkage of oxygen and nitrous oxide ensure the output of oxygen is
more than 25%.Oxygen, nitrous oxide and air blend in the flow meter, the mixed gas take away some
part of anesthetic steam through the anesthetic vapor, and send to repiratory system from common
gas outlet.The oxygen from oxygen flush valve don’t flow through flow meter and vapor, but send to
the respiratory system from common gas outlet directly.The oxygen or anesthetic agent which is sent
to the respiratory system ventilate for the patient by set ventilation volume and breathing pattern
regularly under AUTO or MANUAL models.
1.2 Anesthetic Ventilation Machine

The Microprocessor-controlled ventilator, with its dedicated Breathing System, allows time- controlled,
pressure limited, and constant volume ventilation for all patient groups within a tidal volume range of 20
mL (4 kg infant) to 1400 mL (adult).
Time-controlled, pressure limited, and compliance compensated constant volume ventilation is provided
through the Controlled Mandatory Ventilation (IPPV) mode. The IPPV mode delivers a viable ventilation
method for complicated lung conditions. The ventilator also provides time-controlled, volume dependant
ventilation, targeting a set (adjustable) target pressure provided through the Pressure Controlled
Ventilation (PCV) mode. Automatic and comprehensive system startup tests and alarm management
systems ensure controlled ventilation conditions in every mode of operation.
The durable and ergonomically designed user interface and Navigation Knob enables easy operation. The
display provides the selected ventilation modes (IPPV, PCV, PS and SIMV) and the following values: Tidal
Volume, Peak Pressure, Mean Pressure, FiO2, Breath Rate, I:E Ratio, PEEP, Plateau Pressure, Alarm limits,
and real-time Airway Pressure and flow waveform.

The Gas Input Assembly allows gas in the pipeline and backup gas cylinder to enter AM-6000 for
regulation. The pressure regulator reduces pressure to 36psi (250kPa). The O2 operated valve can open
allowing N2O to enter the flow meter only when O2 pressure is above 7.3 psi (50kPa). Otherwise, N2O
cannot enter the gas circuit. The pressure switch generates a signal when the input pressure is below 29
psi (200kPa), and the system will provide an audible alarm.
26 Mains Supply Assembly
The Mains Supply Assembly could connect the mainframe with outside power supply.
27 Electronic Flow Meter Assembly
The Electronic Flow Meter Assembly provides fresh gas flow measurement for AM-6000, the function of
this device is to do the tidal volume setting part of breathing mode for effective fresh gas compensation.
When the moment of flow meter adjusting, ventilation could instantly know the output change of the
tidal volume, the patient could avoid inhaling over large tidal volume in the next period.

28 Gas Box Assembly
The Gas Box Assembly provides drive gas for the Breathing System and includes a safety valve to insure
the pressure stays above 8.5kPa.It also contains the PEEP valve, and differential pressure sensors.
29 YOKE Assembly
The YOKE Assembly provides connection for three backup gas cylinders. The pressure regulator for the
backup gas cylinder reduces the pressure of a high pressure gas cylinder down to 43.5 psi (300 kPa).
30 AMP Cables
The AMP Cables provide signal transmission between the electric box and gas circuit box.This cable mainly
transimits relevant signal of sensors and relevant power supply.
31 Electric Box Assembly
The Electric Box Assembly provides, and distributes power to AM-6000.It contains switching power
supply and battery subassembly.Meanwhile, this unit includes circuit heater control board and BDU main
control board of the ventilation.
32 Rear Panel Assembly
The Rear Panel Assembly protects, and provides heat dissipation for the electric box and support for the
backup gas cylinder.
33 Inspiration and Expiratory Valves
The Inspiration and Expiratory Valves are unidirectional valves which allow air to flow in only one
direction.
34 Absorber Canister
Two Absorber Canisters (with 1500mL soda lime for each) are equipped on AM-6000.Each Absorber
Canister could sustain 6～8 hours for using during operation. The water would go out from the drain valve
of the Absorber Canister bottom during the operating of anesthetic machine.
35 Adjustable Pressure Limiting (APL) Valve
The APL Valve is used for limiting maximum airway pressure during manual ventilation.The adjustable
range of the APL is 0～70cmH 2O, and could be set by the scale.Release the APL valve upside to let the gas
quickly flow out.
36 Bellows Assembly
AM-6000 employs ascending ventilation bellows, in which mixed gas is stored. Drive gas supplied by the
ventilator forces the bellows to descend sending mixed gas into the inspiration passage of patient’s
airway. If a patient’s airway suffers from gas leakage, the bellows will collapse, informing the operator of a
22 V01.00
possible problem. A tidal volume scale is provided on the transparent dome, through which a patient’s
tidal volume can be estimated.
V01.00 23
Theory of Operation
37 Pressure-relief Valve
The Pressure-relief Valve is located at the base of the bellows. When end-expiration airway pressure
reaches 1～3cmH2O,the pressure-relief valve opens and redundant gas is expelled.The resistance of
breathing meets the request of less than 0.6kPa@60L/min.
38 Exhaust Gas Outlet
The Exhaust Gas Outlet is located on the lower part of the Breathing System. It is connected to the AGSS
via the AGSS transfer tube.If this outlet is blocked, the ventilation would not operate normally.
39 Absorber Heating System
The Breathing System is heated to body temperature to avoid humidified gases condensing within the
Breathing System thus improving airway climate for the patient's breathing of respiratory gases.The range
of heating is 34±3℃.And adopt the CPU to control.
24 V01.00
1.3.5 Breathing System

The Breathing System is integrated into a compact aluminum block. This block is heated to body
temperature to prevent condensing of humidified gases within the Breathing System, thus improving
airway climate for the patient's breathing of respiratory gases. The heated Breathing System contains: an
inspiration valve with O2 adapter for FiO2 measurement, expiratory valve, APL Valve, breathing bag
connection, and internal inspiration and expiratory flow sensors.

Theory of Operation
1.3.6 The Ventilator Unit

AM-6000‘s ventilator offers multiple ventilation modes: Controlled Mandatory Ventilation with volume
control (IPPV), Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV), Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
(SIMV), and Pressure Support (PS) ventilation. Electronic PEEP is available in all ventilation modes. User
control over inspiration flow (SLOPE) is possible in PCV, SIMV, and PS modes. Automatic fresh gas
compensation limits the effect of user changes in fresh gas flow rate on the patient. The traditional
bellows system is driven by oxygen and makes patient disconnections clearly visible.
1.3.7 Alarm Set

Minimum and maximum alarm limits can be set for Peak Pressure, Mean Pressure and FiO2. Minimum
alarm limits can be set for Tidal Volume and Minute Volume. Exceeding the peak pressure alarm limit
automatically halts the inspiration phase preventing airway pressure from exceeding the high alarm
setting. In the IPPV mode, when reaching this pressure limit, a "High Airway Pressure" alarm is displayed,
and inspiration is discontinued. The next inspiration occurs at the regular time interval, preventing
increase of the respiratory rate. The result is a decreased tidal volume (T Vol.) and minute volume (M Vol.).
During pressure limitation, the ventilator displays the alarm message until the condition is corrected.
1.3.8 Compliance Compensation

Compliance compensation automatically corrects for the expansion of the circuit in IPPV ventilation mode.
System compliance is measured by the ventilator to maintain the set tidal volume (±15%). The compliance
test may be bypassed at machine power up. When bypassing the compliance test, the default settings are
used.
In AM-6000 Compliance Compensation the VT (Tidal Volume) set is delivered during the first breath. ∆P
is calculated from end-expiratory pressure P1 and end-inspiratory pressure P2.
Having the system compliance (Csys) and ∆P, It could calculate which volume (∆V) has been "consumed"
by the system, or, in other words, which volume has not been delivered to the patient.
∆V = Csys x ∆P
It would increases the volume to be delivered by the value ∆V.
VT corr = VT + ∆V
AM-6000 repeats this procedure during each breathing phase so that the VT delivered to the patient
gradually approaches the set VT. This procedure is completed as soon as the plateau value stops changing
(±0.5mbar).
The displayed flow and the resulting values (for example, MV) are updated accordingly.
Example of a Compliance Compensation procedure:
We assume that it has calculated a system compliance of Csys =4 mL/mbar during the self test. The
volume to be delivered to the patient shall be VT =600mL. The system (breathing system hoses, patient) is
supplied with 600mL during the first mandatory breath. The resulting pressure is ∆P1 = 30mbar.
34 V01.00
Use these values to calculate the total compliance:
This results in the following patient compliance:
The patient is supplied with a volume of 480 mL.
Verror1 (deviation from the set value) is calculated as follows:
In order to correct this error, increase the volume supplied by the slot valve by Verror 1.
Supply the new VT2 during the second mandatory breath.
The patient is supplied with a volume of 576mL.
Verror2 is calculated as follows:
In order to correct this error, increase the volume supplied by the slot valve by Verror2:
VT3 = VT2 + Verror2 = 720mL + 24mL = 744mL
Supply the new VT3 during the third mandatory breath.
The patient is supplied with a volume of 595.2mL.
V01.00 35
Theory of Operation
Verror3 is calculated as follows:
Repeat this procedure during each breathing phase.

1.7 Ventilator Pneumatic- O2 Drive Gas
1.7.1 Ventilator Pneumatic Drive

Oxygen is the driving gas for the ventilator. In addition to the flow meter block, a high pressure regulator
reduces the supply pressure to 25.4psi (175kPa). This pressure represents the drive gas for the ventilator.
The drive pressure regulator is placed ahead of the proportional valve that generates the driving gas flow
during the inspiration phase. This flow fills the bellows dome that surrounds the bellows.
1.7.2 Drive Pressure-high Pressure Regulator (25.4psi)

The drive pressure regulator stabilizes the supply pressure provided to the proportional valve. The flow
generated by the proportional valve is therefore independent of pressure variations at the supply. Setting
the drive pressure regulator at 25.4psi allows for a maximum inspiration flow of 75L/min at the ventilator.
1.7.3 Gas Box Assembly

The driving module consists of the proportional valve and a solenoid valve for the vent mode switch. The
proportional valve pressure regulator, and generates a driving gas flow of 0～75L/min in relation to the
control voltage of the proportional valve of 0～50VDC. The control voltage of the proportional valve,
required for the pre-selected parameter setting, is generated by the BDU board. The driving gas flow Qdrive
gas is in the following relationship with the tidal volume:
Qdrive gas =VT/T
With: Q drive gas=driving gas flow
VT=generated tidal volume
T=time
V01.00 99
Theory of Operation
1.7.4 Gas Color Coding

All the gases used in AM-6000 are color coded for use in the United States, in China and Europe.
Gas China Standard US Standard Europe Standard

O2 Blue Green White
N2O Silver gray Blue Blue
AIR Black Yellow Black White
1.8 The Breathing System
1.8.1 IPPV Mode-Inspiration Phase

Tidal volume compensates for variations in gas flow. This is to ensure that the set tidal volume is delivered
to the patient.
1.8.2 IPPV Mode-Expiration Phase

As the patient exhales tidal volume into the expiration limb, fresh gas enters the bellows.
Fresh gas mixes with exhaled gas after the Absorber removes CO2. Excess fresh gas passes through the
exhaust valve to AGSS.
1.8.3 Manual Mode-Inspiration Phase

As the breathing bag is compressed, the gas is directed to the patient. Pressures exceeding the set value
of the APL Valve will pass through the APL Valve to AGSS.
1.8.4 Manual Mode-Expiration Phase

As the patient exhales tidal volume into the expiration limb, fresh gas enters the Breathing System. Fresh
gas mixes with exhaled gas after the Absorber removes CO2. Excess fresh gas passes through the exhaust
valve to AGSS.
1.8.5 Pneumatic PEEP

The PEEP valve regulates the pressure at which the exhaust valve opens, therefore the exhaust valve
opens only when the pressure exceeds the set PEEP pressure.
1.8.6 Ventilator in STANDBY

When AM-6000 is in the STANDBY mode, monitoring will be inactive. The patient should not be
ventilated when the system is in STANDBY mode.
100 V01.00
1.8.7 Breathing System Components
1.8.7.1 Ventilation Bellow System

The ventilator\s driving system is a flow generator. Driving gas fills the bellows dome to compress the
bellows. The breathing gas is pressed out of the bellows into the patient breathing circuit. The bellows is
refilled with fresh gas and the expired gas from the patient.
1.8.7.2 Manual Breathing Bag

In manual mode, this device acts as a normal breathing bag, enabling the user to ventilate the patient
manually. In mechanical ventilation mode, this bag is cut off from the breathing circuit by the reversing
valve.
1.8.7.3 CO 2 Absorber
The soda lime inside the absorber canister retains the carbon dioxide from the exhaled gas.
1.8.7.4 Inspiration and Expiration Valves

To ensure correct gas flow direction to and from the patient, one way valves are integrated in the
inspiration and expiration limb of the Breathing System.
1.8.7.5 APL Valve

In manual mode, the APL Valve acts as a normal spring loaded pressure relief valve, limiting the maximum
pressure in the Breathing System.

3.0 Repair Information
3.1 Introduction
This chapter of the Service Manual provides the necessary technical information to perform repairs to the
system. The most important prerequisites for effective troubleshooting are a thorough understanding of
the system's functions, as well as understanding its principles of operation.
Warnings Whenever using anesthetic gases, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or any hospital gas always
follow the appropriate agent evacuation/collection procedures. Use the hospital gas evacuation system.
Cautions This device uses high pressure compressed gas. When attaching or disconnecting
backup gas cylinders, the user should always turn the cylinder valves slowly. Use AM-6000 flow meters
to bleed down the pressure, watching the cylinder gauge indicate the depleting cylinder pressure, before
disconnecting the cylinder from the yoke. Always open and close cylinder valves fully.
Cautions This device operates using compressed gas at high pressures from the hospital central
supply. When connecting gas supply lines attach the hose connection to the machine before connecting
the quick disconnect fitting to the hospital source. Disconnect the supply hose from the hospital source
connection prior to disconnecting it from AM-6000 gas connection fittings.
3.2 Troubleshooting Guidelines

l Identify the problem—Due to the wide variety of potential symptoms, certain problems may be
more subtle than others. Following the guidelines of the tests will help determine the problem, if one
exists.
l Avoid shorting component leads together—during repair procedures, it can be tempting to make a
quick series of measurements. Always turn the power off before connecting and disconnecting the
test leads and probes. The accidental shorting of leads can easily stress the components and cause a
second failure (aside from the safety risk).
l Use the proper equipment—the equipment listed in "Special Tools Required" is suggested to fulfill a
wide range of troubleshooting requirements. It is imperative to use the designated equipment in
order to ensure proper results of any and all test procedures.
l Clean up the repair area—after any repair, clean off the repair area.

5.0 Calibration
5.1 Introduction
This section provides detailed information required to properly test and calibrate
AM-6000.Calibrationconsists of making mechanical and electrical adjustments with the proper test
equipment. The instrument should be tested and calibrated after repairs have been completed or at regular
intervals as part of a periodic maintenance procedure.
Notes Both calibration and a functional test must be performed to verify complete and proper
operation.
5.2 General Guidelines

Before disconnecting any pneumatic hoses, the hoses and mating fittings should be tagged to show the
proper connections. When reconnecting, all hoses must be checked for proper connection. To further
assure proper connection, all pneumatic calibrations and tests defined in this manual should be
accomplished before use on a patient.
Once the instrument covers have been removed, an electric shock hazard may exist. Therefore, calibration
should only be performed by qualified service personnel who proceed with care and follow proper servicing
techniques.
Do not attempt to calibrate the instrument without the test equipment and tools listed in this manual.
Exercise care when reaching into the opened instrument which contains line (mains) voltage.
When making adjustment and measurements, avoid accidental shorting of component leads that can leads
that can result in component failure.
Perform steps in order given. Do not skip any steps unless noted.
Understand each step of the procedure thoroughly before performing the procedure.
Before removing or replacing any circuit boards, disconnect AM-6000 from line power, switch the Mains
Switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
5.3 Calibration Procedures
Notes The following calibration procedures must be performed in sequence.
5.3.1 Oxygen Sensor Calibration
Notes Perform oxygen sensor calibration under all ventilation modes.

Calibration
Notes Only 21% oxygen concentration calibration is successfully preceded, can 100% calibration be
performed.
Notes The oxygen sensor voltage is displayed during the calibration. This is the amplified oxygen
cell at the A/D converter for the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor voltage is not displayed for UI versions
2.24 and lower.
Notes Do not shake the oxygen sensor during calibration.
Notes Keep the oxygen sensor in a vertical position, connector side up, during calibration.
Notes Place the oxygen sensor on top of the heated block during calibration to minimize the
temperature difference from within the heated block.
Notes Plug the oxygen sensor in the oxygen sensor connector before calibration.
Notes The calibration process lasts at least for three minutes.
Notes If the system is going to be used during the calibration, insert the oxygen cell plug into the
port from which the oxygen sensor was removed suing a push and turn motion.
