2.1.1.1 Description

2.1.1.1.1 Gas Supplies

The above picture shows the O2 pipeline supply inlet assembly. The anesthesia machine’s
pneumatic circuit starts from the gas supplies, which functions to introduce the external pipeline or
cylinder gases into the machine. Since the pressure of external gas is very high and the external gas
contains foreign substance, pressure reducing valves, filters and pressure relief valves are available
in the supply gas circuit. Also, check valves are equipped in the supply gas circuit to prevent gas
from flowing back into the pipeline or cylinder.
The anesthesia machine has pipeline and cylinder gas supplies available. Pipeline gas supplies,
which are O2, N2O and Air, go into the pipeline gas supply inlet assemblies through pipeline
connectors respectively. The pipeline pressure ranges between 280 and600 kPa. Cylinder gas
supplies, which are O2 and N2O, go into the system through cylinder connectors respectively. The
O2 and N2O cylinder pressures are 6.9–15 MPa and4.2–6 MPa respectively, which are decreased
to approximately 400 kPa through regulator. Each connector is clearly marked and designed to

2-3
prevent misconnection. All connectors have filters and check valves. Color coded gauges show the
pipeline and cylinder pressures. Pressure relief valve 7 functions to prevent the supply gas pressure
from being too high. It releases excess gas when gas pressure exceeds 750 kPa. Each supply gas is
outputted after gas pressure is decreased below 200 kPa through regulator. Pressure switch
monitors the O2 supply pressure. When O2 supply pressure is less than approximately 200 kPa, the
ventilator gives the alarm of O2 supply failure.
The following picture shows the output connectors of O2 pipeline supply inlet assembly.

2.1.1.1.2 Anesthetic Gas Delivery System

The anesthetic gas delivery system is connected to the gas supplies, anesthetic gas delivery device
(vaporizer) and breathing system. N2O, O2 and Air supplies enter the anesthetic gas delivery system
and the mixed gas (namely fresh gas) containing these three gases andanesthetic agent and pure O2
(for auxiliary O2 supply and flushing O2) are outputted.
The following picture takes O2+N2O+Air configuration as an example to illustrate how pipeline gas
supplies are outputted. O2 is divided into two pathways (into three pathways if auxiliary O2 supply
is configured: system switch, O2 flush valve and auxiliary O2supply 46respectively). One pathway
of O2 flows into system switch and the other intoO2 flush valve. N2O flows into O2-N2O cut-off
valve and Air into system switch.

2-4
When system switch is turned on, Air enters flow regulator. O2 is divided into two pathways. One
pathway of O2 flows into flow regulator and the other into O2-N2Ocut-off valve. If the pressure of
O2 vented into O2-N2O cut-off valve is greater than0.1 MPa, N2O can enter flow regulator, as
shown below.

2-5
Flow regulator controls gas flows. The gases passing through flow regulator enter electronic
flowmeter &throttling device and are then converged to enter float flowmeter, as shown below.

The converged gas goes from float flowmeter to the anesthetic gas delivery device (vaporizer),
forming fresh gas after mixed with anesthetic agent. The fresh gas then goes from check valve
through the ACGO assembly to the breathing system. The flushing O2also enters the breathing
system through the ACGO assembly.
When ACGO is turned on, the anesthesia machine stops mechanical ventilation. The fresh gas is
directly outputted through the inspiration connector on the breathing circuit. Mechanical pressure
relief valve on the ACGO prevents gas pressure at the ACGO port from exceeding 12.5 kPa when
ACGO is turned on.
System Switch Assembly
The picture below shows the System Switch Assembly. Supply gases of air and O2 go into system
switch; and Air & O2 flowing into the flow meter assembly and O2 into the control end of the
O2-N2O cut-off valve are outputted. System switch has an electrical outlet which controls the
power-on status of the system. When the system switch is turned on, O2 and Air enter the anesthetic
gas delivery system and the system is powered on simultaneously. The anesthetic ventilator starts to
monitor the status of the system. When the system switch is turned off, O2 and Air cannot enter the
anesthetic gas delivery system and the system is powered off.
2-6
O2-N2O Cut-off Valve Assembly
The above picture shows the O2-N2O cut-off valve assembly. O2-N2O cut-off valve is
apneumatically controlled three-way valve. O2 is uploaded to the control end of the O2-N2Ocut-off
valve to conduct on-off control of N2O. When the O2 supply pressure is less than 0.1MPa
(approximate value), N2O supply is cut off. When the O2 supply pressure is greater than 0.1 MPa
(approximate value), N2O supply is switched on. O2-N2O cut-off valve does not affect Air supply.

Flow Display Assembly


Electronic flowmeter&throttling device and float flowmeter constitute the flow display assembly.
Gases from the flow regulators enter into the flow display assembly and mixed gas going through
the anesthetic gas delivery device (vaporizer) is outputted. Electronic flowmeter&throttling device
measures and displays the flow of each gas. Float flowmeter28 displays the total gas flow. The flow
range displayed is from 0.05 to 10 L/min at there solution of 0.5 L/min. The measurement accuracy
is required to be ±10% of the reading. The scale starts from 0.5 L/min and increases by 0.5 L/min
when flow is within 0.5 to 2L/min and by 1 L/min when flow is within 2 to 10 L/min.

2-7
O2 Flush Button Assembly
The above picture shows the O2 flush button assembly. When O2 flush valve is depressed,O2
rushes into the pneumatic circuit which is cut off when this valve is released. The O2supply gas at
0.2 MPa after regulated goes through the O2 flush valve, the ACGO assembly, and into the
breathing system. The O2 flush button assemby is not affected by the system switch. Flushing O2
can be performed as long as O2 supply is normal. The O2 flush valvehas a slide valve structure
inside which ensures automatic reset each time the valve is depressed and released via the spring.

Vaporizer Manifold
The above picture shows the single-vaporizer manifold assembly. The anesthetic gas delivery
device (vaporizer) is connected to the anesthetic gas delivery system. The mixed gas of N2O, O2
and Air go into the device and the fresh gas containing these three gases and anesthetic agent is
finally outputted to the ACGO assembly. The following figure shows the pneumatic ccircuit of
anesthetic gas delivery device (vaporizer).

ACGO Assembly
The above picture shows the ACGO assembly. The ACGO assembly includes five parts: pressure

2-8
switch, flow restrictor, pressure relief valve, ACGO selector switch (three-way valve) and contact
switch. Flushing O2 and fresh gas are mixed through the three-way valve and enter the ACGO. The
outputs include fresh gas provided for the breathing system (when ACGO is turned off) and that
provided for the patient (when ACGO is turned on). Pressure relief valve at the front restricts the
pressure of flushing O2 and also that of the fresh gas not to exceed 38 kPa (approximate value).
Pressure relief valve at the back ensures that the pressure of the gas outputted to the ACGO does not
exceed 12.5kPa.

Auxiliary O2 Supply Assembly


Auxiliary O2 supply assembly has two optional input ports (as shown below). O2 goes from O2
supply inlet assembly, with flow controlled by a flow regulator and displayed by aglass tube
flowmeter, into the patient. The flow range adjusted is from 0 to 15 L/min and that displayed is from
0 to 10 L/min at the resolution of 1 L/min. Turning the flow control counter clockwise increases the
flow and clockwise decreases the flow.

2.1.1.2 Breathing System

The breathing system provides a closed loop for the anesthetic gas. The CO2 in the patient’s expired
gas can be inspired in the inspiration phase to maintain the temperature and humidity conditions of
the patient’s expired gas. During inspiration, the drive gas depresses the bagin side the bellows to
force the inside gas to enter the patient’s lung. During expiration, the patient’s expired gas goes into
the bag inside the bellows. Sodalime canister absorbs CO2the patient expires.
Manual and mechanical ventilation modes are selected through the bag/mechanical ventilation
switch. When manual ventilation is selected, the doctor presses manual bag to supply gas for the
breathing system. APL valveis used to adjust the pressure inside the pneumatic circuit in case of
manual ventilation. When mechanical ventilation is selected, the ventilator starts to work. It
controls the drive gas to depress the folding bag inside bellows and supply gas for the breathing
system as per the selected ventilation mode.
Connected to the anesthesia machine main unit through the circuit adapter, the breathing system is
highly integrated. Its tubes are all built in except the tube connected to the patient and the O2 cell
cable, as shown below.

The breathing system is easily disassembled and is autoclavable at 134℃.

2.1.1.3 Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System

The anesthetic gas scavenging system (AGSS) is composed of AGSS transfer system, AGSS
receiving system and AGSS disposal system. Waste gas goes from the exhaust port of the anesthesia
machine through the AGSS transfer system and the AGSS receiving system and to the hospital’s
waste gas disposal system (AGSS disposal system).
The following figure shows the operational theory of the AGSS. The throttling holes reduce the
effect of negative pressure at the AGSS outlet onto the flow at the entrance. The float helps the user
to learn if the disposal system meets the requirement for minimum pump rate. The filter filters
foreign substance to prevent the disposal system from being occluded. The gas reservoir is
connected to the air through pressure compensation openings. When positive or negative pressure
occurs inside the gas reservoir, gas is inputted or outputted to ensure pressure balance inside the
system.
The AGSS transfer system is a blue tube with 30 mm conical connectors at both ends. The inlet of
the transfer system is a female 30 mm conical connector and the outlet a male 30 mm conical
connector. The transfer system is connected to the receiving system through the male30 mm conical
connector. The receiving system is connected to the receiving hose through the proprietary
connector. The receiving hose is connected to the hospital’s disposal system through BS 6834
connector. The following picture shows the structures of and the connections between the AGSS
transfer system, receiving system and disposal system.

3.10 AGSS Inspection

3.10.1 Check the Float

Install the AGSS. Check if the float floats off and exceeds the MIN level. If the float is tacky or
damaged, re-install the AGSS or replace the float.

Caution

 Do not block the AGSS pressure compensation openings during the inspection.

If the float fails to float off, the possible reasons are:


1. The float is tacky or stuck to the guide bar. Invert the AGSS and check if the float
moves up and down freely. If not, clean where the float and guide bar meet to
remove possible foreign substance. Replace the float or guide bar when necessary.

3-18
2. The waste gas disposal system is not working or the pump rate is less than 60
L/min at which the AGSS works normally. Check if the waste gas disposal system
reaches the pump rate range of 50-80 L/min specified by the AGSS.

4.2 System Test

Before the anesthesia machine at the client end is maintained, some routine tests are
required to check if the current status of the anesthesia machine is normal.

4-9
1. Check the mechanical ventilation mode
After each service or at the time of return visit:
 Check if mechanical ventilation is provided normally and if an alarm occurs.
 Check if the preset values of pressure and TV are same to the measured values.
 Check if the pressure measured by the pressure sensor is same to that indicated
by the airway pressure gauge and if the TV measured by the flow sensor is
same to that indicated by the graduation on the bellows housing.
 Roughly judge if the breathing system has a significant leak by observing how
much fresh gas is compensated and observing if the folding bag collapses.
2. Breathing system leak test in mechanical Ventilation mode
After each service or at the time of return visit:
 Check the pneumatic circuit in mechanical ventilation mode for leaks,
including bellows, drive gas circuit, sodalime canister, patient tubes, flow
sensors and the ir connectors.
 Check the control effectiveness of main control board and auxiliary control
board over PEEP safety valve.
 Check the monitoring effectiveness of auxiliary control module over airway
pressure and PEEP path pressure.
3. Breathing system leak test in manual ventilation mode
After each service or at the time of return visit, please check the pneumatic circuit in
manual ventilation mode for leaks, including APL valve, check valve, sodalime
canister, patient tubes, flow sensors and their connectors.
4. Check the sensors’ zero points
After each service or at the time of return visit, please check if the zero points of all
the flow sensors and pressure sensors inside the machine are within the normal
range so as to determine when to replace the monitor board.
5. Check the flow sensor accuracy

4.2.1 Check the Mechanical Ventilation Mode

Note

 The main function of the anesthesia machine is to provide breathing


support—mechanical ventilation which complies with the doctor’s settings to the patient.
The tests in this section are performed aiming to ensure that the machine is able to
provide normal mechanical ventilation.

 The tests can help to judge if the machine operates normally.

4.2.1.1 Check Volume Control Ventilation (VCV)

Note

 VCV is the standard ventilation mode of the anesthesia machine and also the mostbasic
mechanical ventilation mode.

To check VCV:
1. Make sure that the supply pressure is normal and that the tubes in the breathing
circuit are correctly connected as required for mechanical ventilation. Connect a 2 L
bag, which is used as the test lung, to the Y piece in the patient circuit.
2. Set the bag/mechanical ventilation switch to the mechanical ventilation position.
3. Select VCV as the ventilation mode.
4. Adjust total amount of fresh gas to 0.5 L/min.
5. Set the following combinations of TV and Rate respectively: 300 ml and 15 BPM,

4-11
600ml and 15 BPM, 900 ml and 15 BPM, 1200 ml and 15 BPM. Set others to the
defaults. Record the displayed TVexp and Ppeak values, and the peak pressure
reading on the airway pressure gauge in each setting stabilized status.
6. Judge if the above measured data meet the following conditions:
 TV control and measurement are normal: the displayed TVexp value should be
within the range of TV setting X (1±10%) ml.
 Circuit leak is within the acceptable range: the folding bag can reach the top of
the bellows housing each time and the lowest graduation on the bellows
housing whichthe bag falls to each time corresponds to approximately TV
setting.
 Pressure measurement is normal: the Ppeak measured value is close to the peak
pressure reading on the airway pressure gauge. The error should not exceed
2cmH2O.
 No other ventilation failure occurs: the Paw and flow waveforms are displayed
normally and no technical alarms occur.
If the above test requirements are not met, perform subsequent checks and do the test
again

Note

 If any errors are detected during VCV test, perform troubleshooting as per5
Troubleshooting and do the test again until the system is normal.

4.2.1.2 Check Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV)

Note

 PCV is one of the basic mechanical ventilation modes of the anesthesia machine. PCV is
configured depending on the user’s selection and machine type. If the anesthesia
machine under test is not configured with this mode, this test is not required.

To check PCV:
1. Make sure that the supply pressure is normal and that the tubes in the breathing
circuit are correctly connected as required for mechanical ventilation. Connect a 2 L
bag, which is used as the test lung, to the Y piece in the patient circuit.
4-12
2. Set the bag/mechanical ventilation switch to the mechanical ventilation position.
3. Select PCV as the ventilation mode.
4. Adjust total amount of fresh gas to 0.5 L/min.
5. Set the following combinations of Pinsp, Rate and PEEP respectively: (10 cmH2O,
15BPM, OFF), (15 cmH2O, 12 BPM, 5 cmH2O), (20 cmH2O, 10 BPM, 8 cmH2O).
Set others to the defaults. Record the displayed Ppeak and PEEP values, and
maximum and minimum readings on the airway pressure gauge in each setting
stabilized status
6. Judge if the above measured data meet the following conditions:
 Pressure control and measurement are normal: the displayed Ppeak value
should be within the range of Pinsp setting ±2 cmH2O.
 Circuit leak is within the acceptable range: the folding bag can reach the top of
the bellows housing each time.
 Pressure measurement is normal: in one breathing cycle, the Ppeak measured
value should be close to the maximum reading on the airway pressure gauge
(with error not exceeding 2 cmH2O) and the displayed PEEP value close to the
minimum reading on the airway pressure gauge (with error not exceeding 1
cmH2O).
 No other ventilation failure occurs: the Paw and flow waveforms are displayed
normally and no technical alarms occur.
If the above test requirements are not met, perform subsequent checks and do the test
again.

Note

 If any errors are detected during PCV test, perform subsequent checks and do the test
again until the errors are corrected.

4.2.2 Breathing System Leak Test in Mechanical Ventilation

Mode

Please refer to section 3.7.2.

4-13
4.2.3 Breathing System Leak Test in Manual Ventilation Mode

Please refer to section 3.7.2.

4.2.4 Check the Sensor Zero Point

Attention

 The zero point A/D value of the airway pressure sensor and PEEP pressure sensor
should fall within the normal range of 300 to 800.

 The zero point A/D value of the inspiratory flow sensor, expiratory flow sensor and
built-in ventilator flow sensor should fall within the normal range of 200 to 1000.

 If the zero point of the pressure sensor has an error, in ventilation status, the baseline of
the Paw waveform is not at the zero point and a great deviation occurs between pressure
control and measurement.

 If the zero point of the inspiratory/expiratory flow sensor has an error, in ventilation
status, the baseline of the flow waveform is not at the zero point and are at deviation
occurs between TV control and measurement.

 If the zero point A/D value of any sensor is outside of the normal range, it can note
corrected. The monitor board must be replaced.

To check the sensor zero point:


1. Turn off all fresh gases and position the Y piece connector in the patient circuit to
the air.
2. Make sure that the system is Standby. Select the [Maintain]→ Input Password →
[Diagnosis] → [Display AD Channel].
3. Make sure that the actual measured value of each sensor is “0” (zero). Record the
zero point A/D value of each sensor and judge if the zero point falls with the normal
range. If not, replace the monitor board.

4.2.5 Check the Flow Sensor Accuracy

Attention

4-14
 If a great deviation of TV measured value occurs, test the measurement accuracyof flow
sensors so as to determine whether to perform flow calibration again.

To check the measurement accuracy of flow sensors:


1. Make sure that the circuit, calibration device (or other flow measurement device)
and breathing tubes are connected in serial, similar to tubes connection in flow
calibration. For details, refer to4.3.2Flow Calibration (factory).
2. When the system is Standby, select the [Maintain] → [Diagnosis] → [Valve
Test Tool] to access the [Valve Test Tool] menu.
3. Set safety valve to [ON].
4. Set the D/A value of the PEEP valve to above 1500 and ensure that the pressure at
which the expiratory valve closes is above 30 cmH2O.
5. Increase the D/A value of the inspiratory valve, causing the measured flow value of
theanesthesia machine calibration device to fall with the following ranges
respectively:(3±0.5) L/min, (10±1) L/min, (20±1) L/min, (30±2) L/min, (60±3)
L/min. Record the measured flow values of the inspiratory flow sensor, expiratory
flow sensor and ventilator flow sensor to which each setting corresponds
respectively.
6. Make sure that the deviation between the measured data of the inspiratory flow
sensor, expiratory flow sensor and ventilator flow sensor and that of the anesthesia
machine calibration device must not exceed 1 L/min or 5% of the measured value of
the calibration device, whichever is greater. Otherwise, refer to 4.3.2Flow
Calibration(factory) to perform flow calibration again.
7. If anesthesia machine calibration device is unavailable, you can execute steps 1
through5 to test the accuracy of flow sensors. The deviation between the measured
data of the inspiratory flow sensor and expiratory flow sensor and that of the
ventilator flow sensor must not exceed 1 L/min or 5% of the measured value of the
ventilator flow sensor, whichever is greater. Otherwise, refer to 4.3.2Flow
Calibration (factory) to perform flow calibration again.

4.2.6 Check the Pressure Sensor Accuracy

Attention

4-15
 Generally, measurement deviations do not easily occur to pressure sensors. However, in
case of maintaining or replacing the monitor board, three-way valve assembly, or
expiratory valve assembly, you need to perform pressure calibration and check the flow
sensors accuracy so as to confirm the effectiveness of calibration.

To check the measurement accuracy of pressure sensors:


1. Make sure that the pressure sampling line and calibration device (or other pressure
measurement device) are connected in parallel, similar to tubes connection in
pressure calibration. For details, refer to 4.3.3Pressure Calibration (factory).
2. When the system is Standby, select the [Maintain] → Input Password →
[Diagnosis] → [Valve Test Tool] to access the [Valve Test Tool] menu.
3. Set safety valve to [ON].
4. Increase the D/A value of the PEEP valve, causing the measured pressure value of
the anesthesia machine calibration device to fall with the following ranges
respectively:(5±1) cmH2O, (20±1) cmH2O, (50±1) cmH2O, (70±2) cmH2O,
(90±2) cmH2O. Record the measured pressure values of the airway pressure sensor
and PEEP pressure sensor to which each setting corresponds respectively.
5. Make sure that the deviation between the measured data of the airway pressure
sensor, PEEP pressure sensor and that of the anesthesia machine calibration device
must not exceed 1 cmH2O or 2% of the measured value of the calibration device,
whichever is greater. Otherwise, refer to 4.3.3Pressure Calibration (factory) to
perform pressure calibration again.

4.3 System Calibration

Attention

 Perform the corresponding calibration if any test item of the system test about
measurement accuracy is failed.

The anesthesia machine provides the function of monitoring volume, pressure, FiO2,
CO2concentration, AG concentration etc. When these measured values have great
deviations, it is very likely that measurement offset occurs to the relevant measurement
parts. In this case, you need to perform calibration again. After equipment service, such
as replacing the monitor board, expiratory valve assembly or three-way valve assembly,
you need to calibrate the flow sensors or pressure sensors.

Select the [Maintenance]. Enter the required password to access the Maintenance menu,
where you can perform the following calibrations and settings.

4.3.1 Flow Calibration (user)

Attention

 The measurements performed by the flow sensors may be affected by the environment
where the sensors are used. After the sensors have been used for along time, great
deviations may occur to the measurement results and tidal volume control as well. This
problem can be fixed through flow sensor calibration.

 When replacing sensors or after re-calibrating sensors, you need to calibrate flow
sensors again.

 Before calibration, perform leak test of the breathing system in mechanical ventilation
mode first and make sure that the test is passed.

 During calibration, make sure that the drive gas pressure is kept above 0.3 MPa. Failure
to do so may lead to calibration failure.

4-18
This calibration is only intended for the flow sensors in the breathing circuit. The
inspiratory flow sensor and expiratory flow sensor in the breathing system are calibrated
through the built-in flow measurement reference.
After the inspiratory flow sensor and expiratory flow sensor have been used for several
months, for example, three months after calibration, great deviations (more than
10%compared with the setting value) may occur to tidal volume measurement due to
sensor ageing or environmental factors. Or, the user replaces flow sensors. In this case,
you need tore-calibrate flow sensors. For details about user flow calibration, refer to the
corresponding section in the Operator’s Manual.

Attention

 If measurement deviations are not corrected after multiple flow sensor calibrations, the
user is recommended to replace the flow sensor and then perform calibration. If the
problem persists, factory maintenance is necessary. After the problem is fixed, perform
calibration and system test.

4.3.2 Flow Calibration (factory)

Attention

 Factory flow calibration is necessary in case of replacing the monitor board, expiratory
valve assembly or three-way valve assembly.

 When a great deviation is detected between the measured value of the built-inflow sensor
and that of the standard flow measurement device, you need to perform factory flow
calibration.

This calibration is intended for the flows sensors in the breathing circuit, ventilator flow
sensor, and also inspiratory valve. The standard flow measurement device is used to
calibrate the flow sensors and inspiratory valve.

4.3.2.1 Calibration Procedures

Attention

4-19
 Make sure that the tubes are not leaky when connected.

 Do not move or press the tubes during calibration.

 When connecting calibration tubes, make sure that gas flows in the correct direction,
which is from the inspiration connector of the breathing system, through high flow inlet
of the anesthesia machine calibration device, anesthesia machine calibration device, high
flow outlet of the anesthesia machine calibration device, and to the expiration connector
of the breathing system.

 Before calibration, make sure that no sensor or valve related technical alarms occurred.

 During calibration, make sure that the drive gas pressure is kept above 0.3 MPa. Failure
to do so may lead to calibration failure.

1. Before calibration, perform leak test of the breathing system in mechanical


ventilation mode. Perform calibration after the leak test is passed. For procedures
about leak test, refer to 3.7.2Breathing System Leak Test in Mechanical
Ventilation Mode.
2. Remove the folding bag from the bellows and reinstall the bellows housing.
3. Remove the manual drain valve beside the sodalime canister assembly in the
breathing system.

screen(waiting for approximately 5 minutes as required by the prompt message) and
then zeroing screen. Press the “ZERO” key on the panel. After the new screen pops
up, press the “OK” key on the panel to complete zeroing.

Attention

 When zeroing the anesthesia machine calibration device, make sure that no gasflows
through the device, or unplug the tube connected to the gas inlet of thedevice.

6. Connect the calibration communication connector of the calibration device to that of


the anesthesia machine by using the special communication cable. The calibration
device can communicate with the anesthesia machine through two types of
connection:
7. Connect the inspiration connector of the anesthesia machine to the high flow (0 to
120L/min) inlet of the calibration device and the expiration connector to the high
flow (0 to120 L/min) outlet of the device by using breathing tubes.

4-20
8. Press the “MODE” key on the panel of the calibration device. Select “Calibration
Mode” from the pop-up menu and then press the “OK” key on the panel to enter
calibration screen, as shown below.

9. Before calibration, make sure that the supply gas pressure is sufficient. If cylinder
supply is used, turn up the cylinder yoke (not cylinder regulator) enough before
calibration so as to ensure that the pressure reading on the O2 pressure gauge is kept
above 0.3 MPa. If pressure falls, turn up the cylinder yoke further.
10. Make sure that the anesthesia machine is in standby mode.
11. Turn off all fresh gases.
12. Select the [Factory Maintenance] → enter the required password → [Factory Cal.]
→ [Flow Cal] → [Start].
13. After flow calibration success is prompted, refer to 4.2.5Check the Flow Sensor
Accuracy to test the effectiveness of flow calibration. In case of calibration failure,
first fix the problem and then perform flow calibration again.

Attention

 In case of calibration failure, first fix the problem and then perform flowcalibration
again.

4.3.3 Pressure Calibration (factory)

Attention

4-21
 Factory pressure calibration is necessary in case of replacing the monitor board,
expiratory valve assembly or three-way valve assembly.

 When a great deviation is detected between the measured value of the built-inpressure
sensor and that of the standard pressure measurement device, you need toper form
factory pressure calibration.

This calibration is intended for the airway pressure sensor in the breathing circuit, PEEP
pressure sensor and PEEP proportional valve of the expiratory valve assembly. The
standard pressure measurement device is used to calibrate the pressure sensors and PEEP
proportional valve.

Attention

 Before pressure calibration, make sure that the tubes are not leaky whenconnected.

 Do not move or press the tubes during calibration

1. Let the anesthesia machine calibration device be powered. Refer to the method
described in 4.3.2Flow Calibration (factory) to manually zero the calibration device
first. Use the special communication cable to connect the calibration device to the
anesthesia machine.
2. A four-way device is required to connect the sampling lines for pressure calibration.
The following pictures show the four-way device, connectors on the calibration
device and monitor board involved for pressure calibration.
3. Unplug the PEEP pressure sampling line from the PEEP pressure sampling
connector on the monitor board. Then connect it to one connector of the four-way
device.
4. Connect the second connector of the four-way device to the PEEP pressure
sampling connector (high pressure) on the monitor board.
5. Unplug the airway pressure sampling line from the airway pressure sampling
connector(high pressure) on the monitor board.
6. Connect the third connector of the four-way device to the airway pressure sampling
connector (high pressure).
7. Connect the fourth connector of the four-way device to pressure sampling connector
(high pressure) of the calibration device.

Attention

4-22
 The sampling lines going through the four-way device must be connected to the high
pressure ends of the pressure sampling connectors of the pressure sensors.

 It is recommended to connect the sampling lines for pressure calibration to the four-way
device following the procedurs to avoid errors.

8. Make sure that the anesthesia machine is in standby mode.


9. Select the [Factory Maintenance]→ enter the required password →[Factory Cal.]
→[Pressure Cal.]→[Start].
10. After pressure calibration success is prompted, refer to 4.2.6Check the Pressure
Sensor Accuracy to test the effectiveness of pressure calibration. In case of
calibration failure, first fix the problem and then perform pressure calibration again.

Attention

 In case of calibration failure, first fix the problem and then perform pressurecalibration
again.

4.3.4 Pressure and Flow Zeroing (factory)

During the operation of the anesthesia machine, pressure and flow are zeroed
automatically at a specific interval. You can also zero pressure and flow manually in the
factory maintenance menu. Manual zeroing can eliminate the measurement deviations
caused by zero off set immediately. This system provides the function of pressure and
flow automatic zeroing at a specific interval.

4.3.4.1 Zeroing Procedures

1. Select the [Factory Maintenance] → enter the required password →[Factory


Cal.]→ [Paw and Flow Zero Cal.]. The message [Zeroing] is prompted.
2. If pressure and flow zeroing is passed, the message [Zeroing Completed!] is
displayed. If pressure and flow zeroing is failed, the message [Zeroing Failure!]
[Please try again.]is displayed.

Attention

4-23
 In case of zeroing failure, other faults may exist. You must isolate and eliminate the
problem.

4.3.4.2 Troubleshoot Pressure and Flow Zeroing Failure

In case of zeroing failure, troubleshoot as follows:


1. Set the anesthesia machine to manual ventilation or standby mode. Turn off fresh
gas. Unplug the breathing tubes in the breathing system, causing the inspiration and
expiration connectors to open to the air. Bleed the residual gas inside the bellows.
Make sure that there is no flow or pressure entering the flow or pressure sensors
inside the machine.
2. Check if the zero points of the sensors are normal by referring to 4.2.4Check the
Sensor Zero Point.
3. If a zero point error is detected, unplug the sensor sampling line to eliminate the
effects caused by sampling line occlusion or three-way valve. If zero point is still
out of the range, the monitor board is faulty. Replace the monitor board.
4. If zero points of the sensors are correct but zeroing is still failed, the three-way
valve assembly is faulty. Replace the three-way valve assembly.

4.3.5 Electronic Flowmeter Zeroing (factory)

After the gas supply is disconnected, if the pointer of the pressure gauge returns to
zero but the electronic flowmeter still displays flow, it is possible that zero offset
occurs to the electronic flowmeter’s sensor. Generally, you can zero the flowmeter
manually to eliminate the measurement deviation caused by zero offset
immediately.

4.3.5.1 Zeroing Procedures

1. Select the [Factory Maintenance]→ enter the required password →[Factory Cal.]
→[Flowmeter Zero Cal.]. The message[Zeroing] is prompted.
2. If flowmeter zeroing is passed, the message [Zeroing Completed!] is displayed. If
flowmeter zeroing is failed, the message [Zeroing Failure! Please try again.] is
displayed.
4-24
Attention

 In case of zeroing failure, other faults may exist. You must isolate and eliminate the
problem.

4.3.5.2 Troubleshoot Electronic Flowmeter Zeroing Failure

In case of zeroing failure, troubleshoot as follows:


1. Disconnect the gas supplies. After bleeding the residual gas inside the machine (or
after adjusting the flowmeter to cause the pointer of the pressure gauge to go to
zero),perform zeroing again.
2. If zeroing is completed, we can conclude that zeroing failure is caused by the
three-way valve mechanical fault. Replace the three-way valve assembly.
3. If zeroing is still failed, we can conclude that zeroing is caused by the three-way
valvehardware circuit fault or electronic flowmeter board fault. Replace the
three-way valve assembly or electronic flowmeter board.

Module Maintain].
3. Check the airway and make sure that there are no occlusions or leaks. Vent the
sampling line to the air and check that the current rate is approximately 50 mL/min.
If the deviation is great, it means that the airway is occluded. Check the airway for
occlusions. Block the gas inlet of the sampling line. The current rate should drop
rapidly and the message of airway occlusion should be prompted. Otherwise, it
means that the air wrate should drop rapidly and the message of airway occlusion is
prompted. Otherwise, it means that the airway leaks. Check the airway for leakage.
4. Check the airway and make sure that there are no occlusions or leaks. Vent the
sampling line to the air and check whether the current rate and set rate are
approximately the same. If the deviation is great, it means that the airway is
occluded. Check the airway for occlusions.
Block the gas inlet of the sampling line. The current rate should drop rapidly and the
message of airway occlusion is prompted. Otherwise, it means that the airway leaks.
Check the airway for leakage.
5. Connect the gas cylinder, gas bag and sampling line using a T-shape connector.
6. Vent the sampling line to a certain standard gas opening the cylinder pressure relief
valve.
7. In the [Gas Module Maintain] menu, the measured gas concentration and flow are

the integrated pneumatic circuit of the expiratory valve assembly are normal:

 1 MPa (1bar) test pressure gauge (before the test, make sure that the 1 MPa (1bar) test

pressure gauge is in good condition) (quantity:1)

 adapter connector (quantity:1)

 Y piece (quantity:1)

 PU tube (8X200) (quantity:2)

 PU tube (6X200) (quantity:1)

5-13
 PU tube (4X200) (quantity:1)

Test procedures:

1. Turn off the pipeline gas supply and bleed the residual pressure through O2 flushing.

5.4 Troubleshoot Sensor and Valve Related Failures by


Using the Valve test Tool

5.4.1 Preparations before Using the Valve test Tool

Make the following preparations before using the valves-test tool to locate the valves orsensors

related failures:

1. Connect the pneumatic circuit according to the type of sensor or valve to be checked.

 Constant-flow connection method: Connect the tubes of the anesthesia machine following the

constant-flow connection method to check the flow sensors and inspiratory valve. For details,

refer to 4.3.2Flow Calibration (factory).

 Constant-pressure connection method: Connect the tubes of the anesthesia machine following

the constant-pressure connection method to check the pressure sensors and PEEP proportional
5-29
valve. For details, refer to 4.3.3PressureCalibration (factory).

2. Make sure that the supply gas pressure is normal.

3. When the system is Standby, select the [Maintain] →Input Password→ [Diagnosis]→

[Valve Test Tool] to access the[Valve Test Tool] menu.

5.4.2 One-to-one Correspondence between the Sensors &Valves

on the Valve test Tool Screen and the Components

To use the valves-test tool to troubleshoot the sensors or valves related failures, you must befamiliar

with the one-to-one correspondence between the menu options on the valves-testtool screen and the

actual pneumatic circuit and hardware components.

5.4.2.1 Correspondence with Pneumatic Circuit Components

The following figure shows the one-to-one correspondence between the sensors & valves on the

valves-test tool screen and the actual components in the pneumatic circuit diagram.

5-30
5.4.2.2 Correspondence with Hardware Components

The following figure shows how the sampling lines of the sensors are actually connected on the

monitor board.

5.4.3 Description

By using the valve test tool, you can troubleshoot the problems related to:

 Zero points of the sensors

 Sampling line connection of the sensors

 Calibration data of the sensors

 Opening state of the inspiratory valve


 Opening states of the safety valve and PEEP proportional valve

5.4.3.1 Problems Related to Zero Points of the Sensors

By using the valves-test tool, you can easily detect if the zero points of all the pressure and flow

sensors are normal.

To diagnose the zero points of the sensors:

1. Disconnect all gas supplies and make sure that the actual values of the sensors are “0”.

2. Check the A/D counts of the sensors in the valve test tool menu, which are the zero points of

5-31
the sensors.

3. If the zero point of one sensor is outside of the normal range, it indicates that the monitor board

is faulty.

You need to replace the board. You can also detect the zero points of the sensors by referring to

4.2.2Check the Sensor Zero Point.

5.4.3.2 Problems Related to Sampling Line Connections of the

Sensors

The flow sensor has two sampling lines. Connection errors include:

 The two sampling lines are connected reversely.

 One sampling line is not connected.

 Two sampling lines are not connected.

 The pressure sensor has one sampling line. Connection errors include:

 The sampling line is not connected.

 The sampling line is connected incorrectly. By using the valves-test tool, you can detect if the

sampling lines are connected normally.

 To diagnose the sampling line connection of the flow sensor:

1. Connect the tubes of the anesthesia machine following the constant-flow connection method.

Refer to5.4.1Preparations before Using the Valve test Tool.

2. Make sure that gas supplies are normal. In the [Valve Test Tool] menu, set the safety valve to

ON and the D/A value of the PEEP valve to more than “1500”, making sure that the PEEP

valve closes at 30 cmH2O above.

3. Increase the D/A value of the inspiratory valve gradually and the A/D value of theflow sensor

should also increase. With the gradual increase of gas supplied,

 If the A/D value of one sensor decreases gradually, it is possible that the two sampling lines of

the sensor are connected reversely.

 If the A/D value of one sensor keeps unchanged, it is possible that the two sampling lines of the

sensor are broken or not connected.

5-32
 If the A/D value of one sensor nears saturation (above “4000”) quickly, it is possible that the

sampling line at the low pressure end (gas outlet end) of the sensor is not connected.

4. If sampling line connection errors are detected, re-connect the sampling lines and check their

connection correctness.

 To diagnose the sampling line connection of the pressure sensor:

During normal ventilation, if a sampling line connection error occurs, it is easily detected

through the Paw waveform and technical alarms.

 If with the increase of actual pressure, pressure waveform data decreases and the alarm of

“Paw Too Low” or “Patient Circuit Leak” occurs simultaneously, it is possible that

the sampling line of the airway pressure sensor is connected incorrectly.

 If from system standy to mechanical ventilation, continuous clicks are heard and the

alarm of “Pressure Monitoring Channel Failure” occurs, it is possible that the sampling

line of the PEEP pressure sensor is connected incorrectly. You can enter the [Valve Test

Tool] menu to set the safety valve to ON. Gradullay increase the D/A value of the PEEP

valve and observe if the A/D value of the PEEP pressure sensor also increases gradually.

If not, it further indicates that the PEEP pressure sensor may be connected incorrectly.

To diagnose the sampling line connection of the pressure sensor in case of pressure calibration

failure:

1. Connect the tubes of the anesthesia machine following the constant-pressure connection

method. Refer to 5.4.1Preparations before Using the Valves-test Tool.

2. 2. Make sure that gas supplies are normal. In the [Valve Test Tool] menu, set the safety valve

to ON.

3. 3. Increase the D/A value of the PEEP valve gradually and the A/D value of the pressure sensor

should also increase. With the gradual increase of actual pressure,

 If the A/D value of one sensor decreases gradually, it is possible that the sampling line of the

sensor is connected incorrectly.

 If the A/D value of one sensor keeps unchanged, it is possible that the sampling line of the

sensor is not connected.

4. If sampling line connection errors are detected, re-connect the sampling lines and check their

connection correctness.
5-33
5.4.3.3 Problems Related to Calibration Data of the Sensors

After confirming that both the zero points of the sensors and the sampling line

connections of the sensors are normal, you can detect if the calibration data of the sensors

are accurate by using the valve test tool.

 To diagnose the calibration data of the flow sensors:

 With the gradual increase of actual flow, the measured value of the flow sensor

should also increase. Otherwise, the calibration data have errors. You need to

calibrate the flow sensor again.

 Compared with the measured value of the standard flow measurement

device(anesthesia machine calibration device), the measured value of the flow

sensor should be accurate. Otherwise, the calibration data have great deviations.

You need to calibrate the flow sensor again. For details, refer to 4.2.3Check the Flow

Sensor Accuracy.

 To diagnose the calibration data of the pressure sensors:

 With the gradual increase of actual pressure, the measured value of the pressure

sensor should also increase. Otherwise, the calibration data have errors. You need to

calibrate the pressure sensor again.

 Compared with the measured value of the standard pressure measurement

device(anesthesia machine calibration device), the measured value of the pressure

sensor should be accurate. Otherwise, the calibration data have great deviations. You

need to calibrate the pressure sensor again.

For details, refer to 4.2.4Check the Pressure Sensor Accuracy.

5.4.3.4 Problems Related to Opening State of the Inspiratory

Valve

By using the valve test tool, you can detect if the opening state of the inspiratory valve is

normal.

5-34
1. The methods for tube connections and settings of the anesthesia machine are same to those of

sampling line connections of the flow sensors. For details, refer to5.4.3.2Problems Related to

Sampling Line Connections of the Sensors.

2. In the [Valve Test Tool] menu, gradually increase the D/A value of the inspiratory valve. If

the measured values of the ventilator flow sensor, inspiratory flow sensor, and expiratory flow

sensor change very little and low gas flow is felt at the connector of water collection cup, it

indicates that the inspiratory valve or the D/A on the monitor board is faulty.

3. Normally, when the D/A value of the inspiratory valve is set to “2500”, the flow measured by

the standard flow measurement device can reach 90 L/min.

4. If when the D/A value of the inspiratory valve is set to more than “4000”, the flow measured

by the standard flow measurement device fails to reach 90 L/min, flow calibration will be

failed. In this case, you need to replace the expiratory valve assembly or the monitor board.

5. To locate if the DA on the monitor board is faulty, you can use a multimeter to measure the

output of DA on the monitor board corresponding to the inspiratory valve. If voltage also

increases with the increase of D/A value, and voltage nears 6V when D/A value is set to more

than “4000”, it indicates that the DA on the monitor board corresponding to the inspiratory

valve may be normal.

6. After the expiratory valve assembly or monitor board is replaced, you can use the similar

method to check if the problem is fixed.

5.4.3.5 Problems Related to Opening States of the Safety Valve

and PEEP Valve

When the safety valve is permanently OFF and the gas supplies are normal, the [No O2

Pressure] is alarmed. When the PEEP valve is faulty, pressure related alarms occur in

mechanical ventilation state.

By using the valve test tool, you can detect if the opening states of the safety valve and PEEP

valve are normal.

 To diagnose the opening state of the safety valve:

5-35
1. Make sure that gas supplies are normal.

2. In the [Valve Test Tool] menu, when the safety valve is switched on, a subtle click is heard.

3. Adjust the D/A value of the PEEP valve to cause the pressure measured by the PEEP pressure

sensor to exceed 0 cmH2O.

4. Switch off the safety valve. The pressure measured by the PEEP pressure sensor should drop to

0 cmH2O immediately. Switch on the safety valve again. The measured value of the PEEP

pressure sensor rapidly restores almost the same value to that before safety valve is switched

off. During this period, gas flow and also change of gas flow when the safety valve is switched

on or off can be felt at the PEEP outlet, which helps to judge if the safety valve can be switched

on or off normally.

5. If an error is detected, it is possible that the safety valve or the safety valve drive voltage on the

monitor board is faulty. You can use a multi meter to measure the drive signals on the monitor

board corresponding to the safety valve (measurement can be performed at the corresponding

socket). When the safety valve is turned on, the drive voltage should near 6V. When the safety

valve is turned off, the drive voltage should near 0V. If these two conditions are met

simultaneously, the monitor board is normal.

6. If the safety valve is faulty, replace the expiratory valve assembly. After replacement, you can

use the similar method to check if the problem is fixed.

 To diagnose the opening state of the PEEP valve:

1. Make sure that gas supplies are normal. In the [Valve Test Tool] menu, set the safety valve to

ON.

2. With the increase of D/A value of the PEEP valve, the measured value of the PEEP pressure

sensor (or the anesthesia machine calibration device) should also rise. Note that there is a

non-response area for the PEEP valve when the D/A value is relatively small. When the D/A

value is less than this area, the PEEP valve cannot be opened and the output is “0”

continuously. When the D/A value is greater than this area, the pressure output will increase

with the increase of D/A value. This phenomenon also exists for the inspiratory valve.

3. For subsequent diagnosis rules, refer to 5.4.3.4Problems Related to Opening State of the

Inspiratory Valve.
