Saturn Evo ventilator 1 Operator’s manual

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Saturn Evo combines some never seen abilities, high technological research and a
high level of security. Clear monitoring gives you full control at a single glance. Our
well-studied platform is easy to handle and gives you many exceptional features. The
platform is based on the well-known horizontal bag-in-bottle system.
The Saturn Evo is an anesthesia ventilator that can handle spontaneous breathing as
well. The system incorporates a semi-closed breathing circuit, to which a fresh gas
flow is continuously directed.
The patient inspires and expires either in the hand balloon (in spontaneous/manual
mode) or in the bag (in CMV,SIMV or PCV mode).
CO2 accumulation is prevented by means of an absorber.
This manual will describe all control buttons and functions of the electronic
ventilator. Both the alarm system and the cleaning procedures will be attended to as
well.

2.4 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF GAS SUPPLY
Oxygen, nitrous oxide and air from the wall supply flows through the rotameter and
vaporizer-section to the selected fresh gas outlet (absorber or front outlet). Via a
bypass, oxygen can also flow directly to the fresh gas outlet. Air is used as pneumatic
supply to the ventilator. If no wall supply is available, oxygen and nitrous oxide can
be supplied by high-pressure cylinders on the back of the trolley.

There is a detection in CMV&SIMV when an oxygen flush is generated to
prevent high pressure if the upper limit was set to high.
The Max pressure allowed during an O2 flush is last peak pressure + 20 hPa /
20 mbar and this level must be below upper limit setting (last pip +20 is
below upper limit setting).
When the upper limit alarm is lower ,the upper limit alarm level is used.
The min level is 30 hPa / 30 mbar if upper limit is higher.
When the upper limit alarm level is lower then the calculated safety, the upper
limit alarm level has priority.

- connect the patient tubing to absorber outlets.
- switch the ventilator on by pressing the button for at least 1 second.
- check the battery backup by pulling the mains plug (optional).
- perform a leak test (optional).
After these preparations the ventilator is ready for use.
3.4.2 Changing button parameters
A button press inverts the selected setting.

Example of a button with one parameter:
Example of a button with two or more parameters:
Rotating the control knob changes the value of the setting. Pushing the control knob
will save the changed value. Pressing the selected button again will cancel the
changed parameter value and the value restores to the previous value.

Note: When no button is pressed or when the control knob is rotated within
10 seconds, the selected setting will automatically restore to the
previous value.
3.4.3 Standby mode
The ventilator will always start in "standby mode". From the standby window you can
perform following actions:
- Open the setup menu.

- Open the leaktest menu.
- Start the ventilator in manual mode.
- Start the ventilator in CMV mode.
- Start the ventilator in PCV mode.
- Start the ventilator in SIMV mode.
3.4.4 Spontaneous / manual ventilation mode (MAN)
The spontaneous / manual mode (MAN mode) allows spontaneous breathing of the
patient and manually controlled ventilation with a hand balloon. The ventilator will be
in this mode if:
- it is not switched on.

- it is switched on and in the standby window.
- it is switched on and in MAN mode.
- in case of a technical failure.
In MAN mode, the Saturn Evo can even be used without electrical and/or compressed
air connections. When no electrical connection is available, the readouts of the
measured values, alarms and warnings will of course not be displayed.

3.4.5 Controlled mandatory ventilation mode (CMV)
If the ventilator is activated, it can be switched to the controlled mandatory ventilation

mode (CMV mode) with the use of the mode button.
The following screen pops up:
Set up the parameters for use during CMV mode.

Push the control knob to confirm and switch over to CMV mode or rotate selector
knob to select cancel.
3.4.6 Pressure controlled ventilation mode (PCV)
Switch the ventilator to the pressure controlled ventilation mode (PCV mode) with the
use of the mode button.
Push the control knob to confirm and switch over to PCV mode or rotate selector

3.4.7 Synchronized intermitted mandatory ventilation mode (SIMV)
If the ventilator is activated, it can be switched to the Synchronized intermitted

mandatory ventilation mode (SIMV mode) with the use of the mode button.
Set up the parameters for use during SIMV mode.

Push the control knob to confirm and switch over to SIMV mode or rotate selector
In CMV / PCV/ SIMV mode, several controls are available. If a control is changed,
the new value will be used after a complete expiration cycle. The lower limit pressure
and upper limit pressure values will be used immediately.
When switching over from MAN mode to CMV / PCV/ SIMV mode, the Saturn Evo
will start with an inspiration, when patient pressure is lower than 2mbar.
The ventilator will wait to go to CMV / PCV/ SIMV mode due the following reasons:
- low oxygen input pressure.

- low nitrous oxide input pressure.
- low air input pressure.
- fresh gas volume higher than set volume.
The MODE text will be blinking during waiting changing mode from MAN to
CMV/PCV/SIMV or CMV/PCV/SIMV to MAN.

3.4.8 Tidal volume (VOLUME) (CMV & SIMV mode)
The tidal volume is set in ml. It may take a few breathing cycles before the set volume
is reached.
The Saturn Evo electronics will automatically correct any deviation to the preset
volume. This correction is being calculated by a microprocessor, based on a number
of parameters (compliance, leakage, fresh gas flow, etc.).
This setting is applicable in CMV & SIMV mode.
3.4.9 Peak pressure (PEAK P.) (PCV mode)
Set up the peak pressure in mbar with this button. The ventilator will regulate the flow
during inspiration to reach the peak pressure as fast as possible and keep it at this
level for the whole duration of inspiration. The peak pressure can be set from 5 - 60
hPa.
The peak pressure is visualized on the barograph (upper dotted line).
This setting is applicable in PCV mode only.
3.4.10 Frequency (FREQUENCY) (CMV / PCV/ SIMV mode)
The breathing frequency can be set from 4 - 80 breaths per minute.

This setting is applicable in CMV , PCV and SIMV mode.
3.4.11 Inspiration / expiration ratio (I/E ratio) (CMV / PCV / SIMV mode)
The I/E ratio can be set 1:1, 1:1.5 , 1:2 , 1:3, 1:4 , 1:5 , 1:6 , 2:1 ,3:1 and 4:1. This
value reflects the relation between inspiration and expiration and is therefore
applicable in CMV , PCV and SIMVmode.
For example: the I/E ratio is equal to 1:2, i.e. the duration of expiration is twice as
long as the duration of inspiration.
3.4.12 Inspiratoire pause (INSP. PAUSE) (CMV & SIMV mode)
The insp. pause can be set 0 - 50% in steps of 5%. This value is equal to the pause
used during inspiration expressed by percents of the total inspiration time.
This setting is applicable in CMV and SIMV mode only.

3.4.13 Positive end expiration pressure (PEEP) (CMV / PCV / SIMV mode)
The PEEP is the Postive End Expiration Pressure. The PEEP range is 0 - 20 mbar.
Note: When setting a (higher) PEEP, one has to take into consideration that
"building" a PEEP requires extra volume. This extra volume will be
delivered to the system through the fresh gas flow. Because the Saturn
Evo is suitable for very low fresh gas flows, the PEEP may be built
very slowly.
3.4.14 Trigger (SIMV / PCV mode)

Trigger below peep.
With this button the trigger function can be enabled or disabled.
The trigger value can be set from - 2 to - 20 mbar. The Max trigger level that can be
set is equal to the peep setting. Press the trigger button once; rotate control knob and
press control knob to enable/disable the trigger function. Press the trigger button
twice, rotate control knob and press control knob to change trigger value.
A trigger event is visualized in the trigger button and on the airway pressure graph
with the symbol .
Note: You must select a PEEP of minimum 2 mbar to use the trigger
function. If you select a PEEP lower than 2 mbar, the trigger function
is automatically switched off.
3.4.15 Sigh (CMV / SIMV mode)
The sigh button is shown when the graph window is selected . Press the sigh button
once to set sigh on. A sigh is generated every 64 breaths. During a sigh, a volume of
approximately 1,5 x tidal volume is delivered to the patient.
Press the sigh button once again for sigh off. This setting is applicable in CMV and
SIMV mode.
Note: The sigh function is standard off after switching the ventilator on.

3.5 OXYGEN MEASUREMENT
3.5.1 Principle of operation
The oxygen measurement is done with an O2 fuel cell. The oxygen sensor function is
similar to a typical battery. The sensor consists of an anode, a cathode and a unique
weak acid electrolyte. Oxygen molecules diffuse through a non-porous membrane and
are reduced at the cathode. The current generated between the electrodes is directly
proportional to the concentration of oxygen in the measured gas.
Just like a battery, the output voltage of the sensor drops at the end of its operating life
and the sensor will fail to measure oxygen concentrations.
3.5.2 Operation
Oxygen measurement is available in manual mode, CMV ,PCV and SIMV mode.
1 2 3
O2 measurement in CMV mode
1. O2 concentration: the actual measured O2 concentration expressed in % O2.
2. Low O2 alarm: lower O2 alarm can be set in the range from 18% to 99% O2.
If the O2 concentration is lower than the set value, the lower O2 alarm is
activated, which will be visual and audible.
3. High O2 alarm: high O2 alarm can be set in the range from 19% to 99% O2
and OFF. If the O2 concentration exceeds the upper O2 alarm, the O2 high
alarm is activated, which will be visual and audible.

To change the lower O2 alarm, make sure there is no other setting selected and press
the control knob once.
The lower O2 alarm will be activated. Change the value by rotating the control knob.
Press the control knob once to confirm the new value.

described in this manual.

3.5.4 O2 calibration
Oxygen measurement is done by means of a "fuel cell" type sensor. These sensors do
have a certain lifecycle expressed by "O2 % hours".
Note: The lifecycle of the sensor is strongly reduced by high O2

concentrations.
Perform a 21% O2 calibration if the O2 sensor doesn’t show 21.0% when the sensor is
kept in ambient air. Perform a calibration each time the sensor is replaced.
You can perform two types of calibration:
• 1-points calibration
Put the O2 sensor in ambient air and wait for a stable reading.
Press the button.
The message "O2 calibration successful" is shown after a successful

calibration. The display reading will be equal to 21.0%.
The message "O2 calibration failed" is shown when the calibration fails.
The O2 sensor must be kept in ambient air. Also check the electrical
connections of the sensor. Replace the sensor if the problem still remains.
• 2-points calibration
After a successful 21% O2 calibration, put the O2 sensor in pure oxygen and
wait for a stable O2 reading.
Push the button.
The message "O2 calibration successful" is shown after a successful

calibration. The display reading will be equal to 100.0%.
The message "O2 calibration failed" is shown when the calibration fails.
The O2 sensor must kept in pure oxygen. Also check the electrical
connections of the sensor. Replace the sensor if the problem still remains.
Note: 100% O2 calibration is not necessary. You can reduce the sensor
linearity error with a 2-points calibration.
Press the button to store the calibration factors. Press the button to ignore
the new calibration factor. The old calibration factors are restored.

the status of the ventilator.
6. Sigh status: symbol is shown when sigh is active during the complete
inspiration/expiration cycle.
7. Silence indicator: indicates that alarm sounds are suppressed by pressing the
silent button and a down counter (seconds starting at 60) is visual to give the
user an idea how long the alarm is suppressed.
8. High oxygen alarm
9. Low oxygen alarm
10. Low battery indicator: the battery symbol is blinking when the battery is
almost empty. A plug is drawn when working on mains supply.

11. Limit pressure alarm indicators: these indicators are blinking when a limit
pressure alarm is active or has happened. Cleared by pressing the pressure
limit button.
12. O2 SENSOR alarm : This indicator is blinking when the O2 sensor is

disconnected.
3.6.1 Lower limit pressure alarm (CMV / PCV / SIMV mode)
The lower limit pressure alarm is functional in CMV,PCV and SIMV mode. The
lower limit pressure alarm is visualized digitally, in the barograph and on the airway
pressure graph. The alarm will sound and the indicator will start blinking if the airway
pressure does not cross the preset level during the inspiration or when during
expiration the airway pressure stays below preset level. The alarm will automatically
be disabled as soon as the patient pressure exceeds the lower limit pressure during
inspiration.
You can silence the alarm for 1 minute by pressing the button. The silence
indicator will then start blinking ,the down counter is set to 60.
3.6.2 Apnea alarm (Man/Spont mode)
The apnea alarm is functional in the Man/Spont mode. If there is no

inspiration/expiration cycle detected within 20 seconds, the alarm will sound
(continuous beep) and a warning screen is displayed:
The Apnea alarm can be switched OFF but when the ventilator is switched OFF and
ON the apnea alarm is set ON.
3.6.3 Upper limit pressure alarm (CMV,SIMV and Man/Spont mode)
The upper limit pressure alarm is functional in CMV,SIMVand Man/Spont mode.

When, during a full respiratory cycle, the pressure exceeds the upper pressure limit,
the alarm will be active.
The indicator will start blinking and an audible alarm will sound.
The ventilator will automatically evacuate gas to prevent unlimited pressure rise if
working in CMV or SIMV mode.

The ventilator will not evacuate gas during an upper limit pressure alarm in
Man/Spont mode. You have to check the setting of the safety valve on the handset
with the upper limit pressure value.
The alarm will automatically be disabled as soon as the patient pressure no longer
exceeds the upper limit pressure.
Note: At the time of an upper limit pressure alarm, the ventilator may not be
able to deliver the preset tidal volume. This is because the safety valve
is opened and gas evacuation is taking place.
3.6.4 Switching between the different ventilation modes
When changing to another ventilator mode, the ventilator will first end his inspiration
/ expiration cycle and then switch over to the new selected mode.
While waiting to switch over, the mode text is blinking.
When switching to CMV, PCV or SIMV mode, several warning windows can be
displayed and the ventilator is waiting to go to the new selected mode due the
following reasons:
- Patient pressure more than 2 mbar

- Low oxygen input pressure
- Low nitrous oxide input pressure
- Low air input pressure
- Fresh gas volume higher than set volume
Look at the warning windows section (5.6.4) to solve these problems.
If working in CMV / PCV / SIMV mode, the ventilator can be forced to MAN mode
because a malfunction is detected. The following warning window is shown and the
mode text is blinking:
One or more warning windows display the reason why the ventilator is forced to
MAN mode. These warning windows are cleared when the ventilator is switched to
standby or MAN mode.

3.6.5 Warning window
The warning windows are projected above the read-outs of the measured values. Only
the expired tidal volume is visible. At the same time, a warning window is drawn.
A warning window indicates a malfunction, an alarm, a wrong setting, etc. of the
ventilator. It is a helpful item for the operator using the ventilator in a correct way.
When several warning windows have to be displayed, it will swap every 3 seconds to
another warning window.
The display will automatically switch over from the graph window to the main
window when warnings or alarms are active.
An overview of the possible warnings is given in the following table:

If the battery is almost exhausted, the low battery symbol is blinking and every
minute, an audible sound is generated.
Reconnect the mains supply or prepare for manual controlled ventilation.
A continuous beep will sound for 30 seconds after the ventilator shuts off.
The internal battery is automatically charged when the ventilator is connected to the
mains power. The charging of the battery is electronically controlled to assure
optimum battery operating conditions.
The battery does not require maintenance under normal circumstances.
Note: To check whether the battery backup is functioning properly,

disconnect the mains supply by pulling the mains plug. The ventilator
should be able to operate normally in all modes of operation.

4. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
4.1 VENTILATOR HOUSING
The front panel of the Saturn Evo is made of a high-grade polycarbonate foil. All
common household-cleaning products can be used without harm to the front panel
surface.
Aggressive products may affect the foil.
The ventilator housing may be cleaned with a moisturized cloth.
Caution: Use cleaning solution sparingly. It may flow into the ventilator and
cause internal damage.
4.2 PATIENT BREATHING CIRCUIT
The patient breathing unit can easily be removed for disinfection by pulling the
handle (figure 4.1).
The metal part can be steam-sterilized (max. 138 °C) or gas-sterilized.
When putting back the patient breathing circuit, it is recommended to manually guide
the bag to prevent it from damage (figure 4.2).
Note: The patient breathing circuit may never be immersed in liquid. This
may result in obstruction of valves and tubes, causing the patient
breathing circuit to malfunction.
It is of utmost importance to use undamaged bags, recommended by
Medec Benelux NV. When in doubt, always replace the bag by a new
one.
It is recommended to have further maintenance performed by an authorized service

engineer. Detailed maintenance procedures are covered in the technical manual.
