2.4 Electrical components
The Centiva/5 Plus electrical components are described in the

following order
- Power supply
- Main engine
- Control panel.
On the next page an overview diagram shows all electrical

components in one diagram.
Most of the components are located on the two main boards

- Main board A (control panel)
- Main board B (main engine)
The following components are not located on the main boards
- EC 01, EC 02, EC 03, EC 04, EC 05, EB S10, EB S15 are
located within the mains engine’s cabinet
- EB S20 is located within the inspiratory connection
- EB M00, EB M03, EB M04, EB M08, EB M09, are located
within the pneumatic assembly
- EB M20, EB M21, EB M22 are located within the nebulizer
add on of the pneumatic assembly
- EA S05, EA S10, EA S11, EA S12, EA S13 are located within
the control panel’s cabinet.
- EA S15, EA S16, EA S20 are located within the front panel of
the control panel.


AC line supply Line supply gets via line inlet and fuse SI 0 (EC 01) to the integrated line
main switch (EC 02) and from there to the transformer (EC 03). The
transformer is designed to be switched between 115 V and 230 V line
voltages. For details see section 4. “Change the line voltage”.
From the secondary side of the transformer the supply voltage gets to
the secondary transformer fuses (SI21/22) and from there to the base
supply (EB P14) via a relay switch (EB P01) that is controlled by the
power management of micro B.
DC mains supply The 24 V DC mains supply gets via external DC inlet (EC 04) to the DC
line fuses (SI 23) and from there to the base supply (EB P14) via a relay
switch (EB P02), controlled by the power management of micro B.
Back up battery supply The internal battery supply (EC 05) gets via the battery fuse (SI 24) to
the base supply (EB P14) via a relay switch (EB P03), controlled by the
power management of micro B. To enable the recharging of the
battery when necessary, a charger (EB P05) feeds the battery via a
fuse (SI 25), when the FET switch (EB P04) disconnects the internal
battery from the base supply (EB P14). This way, the battery can be
charged by both main supplies, but only when the power
management of micro B is active. A deep discharge control (EB P06)
cares for the internal battery’s life by prohibiting deep discharging.
Power management Voltage sensors deliver information to the micro B about the current
line voltage (EB P11), the current external DC voltage (EB P12) and the
internal battery voltage (EB P13).
With the ON/OFF button (EB P00) signal micro B turns system on or off.
The micro B manages the three power sources. Line supply and DC
main supply are treated as priority mains supply. A ventilation mode
can only be started, if one of these two supplies is available.
When one of these supply lines is active micro B checks charging
status of the internal battery and recharges it if necessary. If the main
supply line fails the system turns to supply via internal battery,
reduces power consumption by turning off the expiratory valve heater
and reducing the screen’s back light brightness.
Power supply priorities The priority in power supply is defined as

- # 1, AC line supply
- # 2, DC mains supply
- # 3, back up battery supply

On board power supply The main board B creates three bus supplies by a +13 V bus (EB P07)
micro B via a bus fuse (SI 26), a +15V bus (EB P08) via a bus fuse (SI 27) and a +5
V bus (EB P09) via a bus fuse (SI 28). For analog OP Amps a symmetrical
+- 12 V supply is created by EB P08.
The alarm system (EB S15), the fan (EB S10) and the control panel are
supplied by an OR from both +13V and +15V supply lines.
The watchdog (EB S02) controls the +13V (EBP30) and +15V (EBP31)
power supply of the safety functions of valve supply etc. In case of a
detected malfunction of one or both of the microprocessors the
watchdog is able to move the system into a fail-safe status by turning
off the bus supplies.
Input micro B The following control sensors talk to the micro B.

- EB P11, EB P12, EBP13
- EB M00, EB P00, EB P10
- EB S11, EB S16, EB S20
- EB E11, EB E12
- EB M01, EB M06, EB E01, EB M11
- Data input from micro A is received via the internal serial port
(EB S01, EB S03
Output micro B Micro B talks to the following actors

- EB M02, EB M07, EB E02, EB M12, EB S25
- EB M03, EB M08, EB E03, EB E05
- EB M20, EB M21, EB M22
- Data output to micro A is made via the internal serial port (EB
S01, EB S03, EB S04)
- Data output to a serial communication ports is made via
galvanic isolators EB S30, EB P25 und SI 29.
- Data output to a nurse call system port is made via galvanic
isolators EB S35.
- Data output to the watchdog EB204.
Safety Micro B talks to the watchdog system (EB S02 on PC board B, enabling
micro A to react in case of a malfunction of micro B and to allow the
watchdog to shut down the system. The watchdog has access to the
audible alarm too.

On board power supply The control panel supply voltage with +13V/15V is delivered from the
micro A main engine to the panel supply fuse (SI 1), the inverter supply fuse
(SI 2) and the alarm supply fuse (SI 4).
From SI 1 the +13V/15V (EA P08) is supplied to the +5V supply (EA P01),
the 5.0V reference (EA P03) and the alarm LED’s (EA S20). Beyond the
fuse SI 3, the 5 V bus EA P02 is distributed to the micro A (EA S00), the
DCU Graphics board (EA S12), the VGA display (EA S13), the buttons (EA
S15) and the Com wheel (EA S16).
From SI 2 the +13V/15V is supplied to the back light inverter (EA S11),
that supplies the Display back lights (EA S10).
From SI 4 the +13V/15V is supplied to the alarm horn system (EA S05).
Input The interface components ComWheel (EA S16) and buttons (EA S15)
talk to micro A directly. Data input from micro B is received via the
internal serial port (EA S01). The alarm horn control (EA S06) talks to
micro A.
Output Micro A controls output signals to the alarm LED’s (EA S20), the audible
alarm (EA S05) the back light inverter (EA S11) and the VGA display via
the graphic DCU board (EA S12). Data output to micro B is made via the
internal serial port (EA S01).
Safety Micro A talks to the watchdog system (EA S02) on PC board B, enabling
micro B to react in case of a malfunction of micro A. The watchdog has
access to the audible alarm, too.
Microprocessor A The micro A handles all data displayed in the screen, as well as audible
and visual alarm indicators within the control panel. The A EPROM is
loaded with the language specific issues. The A EEPROM allows storing
a “shadow” data set. Disconnection of the control panel during
operation will cause the watchdog system to activate and micro B to
shut down the system.
Graphic display Graphic display of data in the VGA screen (EA 9) is performed via a DCU
graphic board (EA 8).
Exp. valve heater To prevent the expiratory flow sensor from condensing water the
expiratory valve assembly is heated by the Exp. valve heater (EB E10),
supplied by the base supply via the fuse SI 41. The temperature is
controlled by micro B and the heater monitor (EB E12).

AIR flow A pressure sensor for AIR supply (EB M04) tells the micro B about the
pressure status of the AIR gas supply. Micro B generates AIR flow by
opening the proportional, double staged AIR flow valve (EB M03). The
AIR flow sensor (EB M01) measures the generated AIR flow and reports
this to micro B. To prevent the AIR flow pressure sensor from drifting,
the pressure sensor is periodically zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an
offset valve (EB M02).
O2 flow A pressure sensor for O2 supply (EB M09) tells the micro B about the
pressure status of the O2 gas supply. Micro B generates O2 flow by
opening the proportional, double staged O2 flow valve (EB M08). The
O2 flow sensor (EB M06) measures the generated O2 flow and reports
this to micro B. To prevent the O2 flow pressure sensor from drifting,
the pressure sensor is periodically zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an
offset valve (EB M07).
Exp. Valve (PEEP) The expiratory valve is a magnetic proportional valve system (EB E03)
that is controlled by micro B. Built in the expiratory assembly, the
expiratory flow sensor (EB E01) measures the expiratory flow via a
stainless steel flow screen and a pressure sensor. To prevent the exp.
flow pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure sensor is periodically
zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an offset valve (EB E02).
P airway The airway pressure is measured by the airway pressure sensor (EB
M11). To prevent the airway pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure
sensor is periodically zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an offset valve
(EB M12).
O2 sensor A fuel cell type O2 sensor (EB S20) measures the inspiratory O2
concentration and reports to micro B. Calibration is semi automatic.
Over pressure relief valve A solenoid valve operates as an over pressure relief valve (EB S25)
controlled by micro B.
Exp. valve locking motor The expiration valve locking motor system (EB E05) is controlled by
system micro B in current limiting and movement direction.
Nebulizer valves The micro B controls the nebulizer valves (EB M20, EB M21 and EB M22)
in gas selection between O2 and Air and duration of opening.
Watchdog The watchdog (EB S02) controls both microprocessors A and B and
turns off the + 15V WD and +13 V WD supply line, in case of detected
malfunction of program or micros. Thus the system is able to shut
down in a fail-safe mode.

Fan To avoid possible O2 concentration increase within the housing,

caused by leaks, a fan (EB S10) exchanges the gas within the housing.
The fan supply is fused by SI11. The fan’s proper operation is
monitored by a rotation monitor (EB S11) that reports to the micro B.
Microprocessor B The micro B handles all controls and sensors, as well as the audible
alarm indicator within the main engine and the serial port
communication. The B EPROM is loaded with the control software. The
B EEPROM allows storing a “shadow” data set.
A and B EEPROM Both micros store data, such as calibration and “learned” values into
the according EEPROM in a “father” and “grandfather” sequence. For
safety reasons this sequence is doubled, which results in total in four
data store sequences. That is why successfully performing five (5)
system test is necessary for rewriting of all storage levels after
replacing PC board A or B.

Gas supply The gas supply connectors for O2 (P 01) and AIR (P 11) are screw
connectors that can be localized to country specific needs (NIST; DISS
etc.). Within the gas connectors there are easy to remove sinter filters
for each gas, to protect the system from particles.
Pressure reducer Pressure reducers for O2 (P 31) and AIR (P 32) regulate the input
pressure to a stabilized level of approx. 2.8 bar (39,5 PSI).
Pressure sensor Pressure sensors for O2 (P 02) and AIR (P 12) monitor the gas pressure
input to be above a minimum operating pressure of 1.9 bar (27 PSI).
O2 flow control Two proportional flow valves control the O2 flow, operating as double
staged valves. The first stage valve (P 03) controls the flow between 0
and approx. 43 l/min. Flow demands beyond this level will cause the
second stage valve (P 04) to open. A flow screen (P 06) generates a
differential pressure from the generated flow, which is measured by
the O2 flow pressure sensor (EB M06). The offset valve (P 05) allows
zeroing the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset
calibration.
AIR flow control Two proportional flow valves control the AIR flow, operating as double
staged valves. The first stage valve (P 13) controls the flow between 0
and approx. 43 l/min. Flow demands beyond this level will cause the
second stage valve (P 14) to open. A flow screen (P 16) generates a
differential pressure from the generated flow, which is measured by
the AIR flow pressure sensor (EB M01). The offset valve (P 15) allows
zeroing the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset
calibration.
Airway pressure The airway pressure within the breathing system is measured by the
airway pressure sensor (EB M11). The offset valve (P 22) allows zeroing
the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset calibration.

Free breathing valve To avoid sub atmospheric pressure a free breathing valve (P 19) allows
ambient air intake in case of a gas supply problem.
Overpressure relief valves To avoid airway pressures beyond a level of 75 mbar (cmH2O) a
passive over pressure relief valve (P 20) is provided. To avoid airway
pressures beyond an adjustable level, set by the Pmax setting, an
active over pressure relief valve (P 21) is provided.
O2 sensor The inspiratory O2 sensor (EB S20) is located within the inspiratory
port.
Patient connection The breathing circuit (P 24) connects the machine via the inspiratory
port (P 23) and the expiratory port (P 26) to the patient.
Expiratory valve The airway pressure within the system is controlled by the expiration
pressure valve (P 27).
Expiratory flow A flow screen (P 29) is built into the expiratory valve assembly and
generates a differential pressure from the generated flow, which is
measured by the Exp. flow pressure sensor (EB E01. The offset valve (P
28) allows zeroing the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset
calibration. The second port of the differential pressure is ambient.

Special note To interpret deviation of measured data, be aware that:

• Values for compliance, resistance and leakage depend upon
the breathing circuit used.
• The compliance and leakage values represent the entire
system (breathing circuit, nebulizer (if applicable) and
ventilator).
• The resistance value represents the inspiratory resistance of
breathing circuit and ventilator up to the y-piece.
• Filters and HME may significantly increase the resistance
values.
• Other breathing circuit designs, such as co-axial systems, may
significantly increase the resistance values.
The nebulizer test will be performed every time, though the system
detects automatically, if a nebulizer is connected to the breathing
circuit or not.
• If so, the particular nebulizer flow of this type of jet nebulizer is
measured, displayed and stored within the EEPROM.
• If not, the nebulizer flow test is bypassed and the last
measured flow data (stored in the EEPROM) is used for
compensation, if the user activates the nebulizer function later.
Because of this measurement capability Centiva/5 Plus is able to learn

the particular jet nebulizer type, used by this user or hospital.

4.1.3 In-operation During operation the Centiva/5 Plus CC Ventilator continuously checks
test the following safety relevant functions and parameters:
• Inspiratory flow sensors
• Expiratory flow sensor

• O2 gas supply
• Line power supply
• Battery charging status
• Internal power supply
• Fan
• Heater
• Buttons and ComWheel
• Microprocessor A and B
• Watchdog
• Checksums of all safety relevant data
If a malfunction is identified, the system will display alarms or

messages on the screen. For details of error messages refer to section
5.3.4 “Messages during operation”.

4.2 Test lung test
The Test lung test is used to verify the overall functionality of the
ventilator and to observe the results of the continuous in-operation
tests. The power-up test and the system test of the Centiva/5 Plus CC
ventilator verify all safety relevant functions.
Perform the power-up test and the system test with a standard

22. GR = gain value corrected
23. O = offset value
24. OR = offset value corrected
25. K = correction factor

4.4 Service mode check

To identify possible malfunctions displayed as a result of the system
test, the following sequence should be used to verify proper gas
supply and operation of the inspiratory and expiratory valves.
1. Ensure proper O2, AIR and line supplies are connected before
turning ON the system.
2. Wait for the power-up test to complete, and then start the service
mode according to 4.3.
3. Check the actual sensor offset values for Pat. Pressure, Exp. flow,
AIR flow and O2 flow to be in the “no re-adjustment necessary”
range according to section 9.9 “Sensor data ranges”.
4. Connect the inspiratory and expiratory ports with one tube.
5. Verify proper AIR supply pressure and proper function of the AIR
pressure switch by AIR flow “ON”.
6. Verify proper AIR flow function by selecting “AIR” and “x 10” and
increasing the flow by use of the ComWheel.
7. Use the ComWheel to verify that the AIR flow can be returned to
zero.
8. Verify proper O2 supply pressure and proper function of the O2
pressure switch by O2 flow “ON”.
9. Verify proper O2 flow function by selecting “O2 ” and “x 10” and
increasing the flow by using the ComWheel.
10. Use the ComWheel to verify that the O2 flow can be returned to
zero.
11. Verify proper expiratory flow function by comparing the data
displayed with the set O2 flow.
12. Select “AIR”, “x 1” and adjust the ComWheel for an AIR flow of 20
L/Min.

14. Verify proper O2 concentration while changing Air and O2 flows.

4.5 Software and hardware revision

The Centiva/5 Plus CC Ventilator’s software is stored in two (2)
independent EPROM:
• The A EPROM is located on the control panel board (PC board
A)
• The B EPROM is located on the main board (PC board B).
Note Both EPROM’s must have the same revision level. During the power-up
test, the system compares the software revisions in both EPROM. If
they do not match, an error message is displayed in the message box.
In normal operation mode during power-up and system test the

current software and hardware revision is displayed at the top left in
the screen. See chapter 1.1.1.
In service mode the current software and hardware revision is

displayed at the top left of the service menu.
The software revision code “3.nn.p” identifies:

- 3. = Centiva/5 Plus
- nn. = current base software release
- p = current patch number of software release (bug fixing
level)
The hardware revision code “o / r” identifies:

- o = front panel hardware revision
- r = main engine hardware revision.

4.6 Ventilator “on-time”

The Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator’s software stores two “on times”.
• Power-on time
• Operation time.
The power-on time recognizes the total time that the system is
connected to line power supply AND is switched ON, no matter in what
mode.
The operation time only counts the time in total, the system is in a
(any) ventilation mode.
Both time information are displayed in the Service mode screen.

4.7 Calibrations
In the Centiva/5 Plus CC Ventilator the following components may be
calibrated during service:
1. O2 concentration sensor
2. AIR flow sensor
3. O2 flow sensor
4. Expiratory flow sensor
5. Airway pressure sensor
6. Battery charging end voltage.
These procedures may be performed in any order. However, the

procedures are presented in a logical sequence to minimize the
amount of disassembly and reassembly required. This sequence also
ensures best matching of inspiratory and expiratory flow and volume
data.
When performing the O2 calibration you do not need to open the

system’s housing.
For all other calibrations open the main engine housing first, according
to section 7.2.4.
Important note The expiratory flow sensor calibration is performed anytime, the
system test is performed. That replaces the routine calibration of the
expiratory flow sensor.
Only in case of a B-Board change (requiring a basic calibration of the
system), or if the expiratory flow sensor has problematic identified, a
re-calibration procedure necessary.
Important note Rated values may vary with software revisions.
Important note Always allow the Centiva/5 Plus to warm up for at least 15 minutes
prior to any calibration procedure.
BTPS correction note All software revisions have BTPS correction in operation mode. To ease
servicing this BTPS correction is not active when in service mode.
AIR – O2 mixing To ensure consistent O2 – AIR mixture over a variety of flow settings
always calibrate both, the AIR flow sensor and the O2 flow sensor,
when having the need to calibrate one of the two flow sensor lines.

4.7.1 O2 sensor The Centiva/5 Plus CC Ventilator performs an automatic calibration of

calibration the O2 sensor during the O2 calibration routine. This routine requires an
O2 gas supply.
The calibration routine performs the 100% (gain) calibration only.
Special notice To ensure proper gas mixture at the O2 sensor, connect a tube to the
inspiratory connector.
There are two ways to access the O2 calibration routine:

• In the user system test menu.
• In the service mode.
The calibration routines are identical.
Access in user system test Push the menu button after completion of the power-up test to access
menu the user system test menu. The system will prompt with the following

data is stored in a ring buffer and has a maximum capacity of 5,172
positions. In normal use that represents about 2 weeks continuous
trend data and about 1,000 event log topics.
In case of unclear anomalies or function issues this event log and
trend download can help to identify problems.
There are two ways to access the event log and trend data.
- trend option is available and trend data is retained
- trend option is not available or trend data was not retained

Centiva/5 Plus chapter 6.3.7 Read event and trend data to see the
requested information.
Important note If the system has been started without activating the “Retain trend
data “ button the Centiav/5 Plus’ internal trend viewer has been reset
to the current date and time and older data is no longer visible to the
user. Internally older data are still stored and available for service
purpose. In this case follow the instruction for Centiva/5 plus without
trend option.
Trend option not available In case no trend option is available or the retain data button has not
been activated and Centiva/5 Plus’ internal viewer is reset, the internal
service log can be downloaded through the front side serial port at the
control panel to a PC or laptop.

The download requires

- a service cable P/N BE-126081 to connect Centva/5 Plus
and a PC. The Lemosa plug matches the socket at the
Centiva/5 Plus’ front panel (lower side), the D-Sub 9
matches a standard serial port of the PC.
- a standard Serial-To-USB converter to connect the service
cable to a Laptop with USB sockets. The D-Sub 9 plug of
the service cable is connected with the serial side of the
Serial-To-USB converter, the USB plug connects to the
Laptop.
- a dedicated software for serial data transfer.
Hardware connection To download trend data from Centiva/5 Plus’ service log to a Laptop or
PC follow this instruction:
1. Turn OFF Centiva/5 Plus.

2. Turn OFF PC or laptop
3. Connect the service cable with its Lemosa plug to the Centiva/5
Plus serial port at the control panel.
4. Connect the service cable with its D-Sub 9 plug to the serial port of
the PC. In case of using a laptop with USB connections only, use a
standard Serial-to-USB converter to connect the D-Sub 9 to the
USB connection.
5. Turn ON the PC or Laptop
6. Turn ON the Centiva/5 plus.
7. Wait for the power up test to terminate.
8. For downloading the service log stay either in system test screen
mode or move into service mode. Download in operation mode is
not enabled.
9. For downloading the service log use the “Centiva/5 Plus service log
downloader”. For more details refer to Appendix A 1.
WARNING Although the front side Lemosa port of the Centiva Plus is
galvanically isolated and allows connecting PC or laptop,
always perform a service log download when no patient is
connected and device is not in operation mode.

5.1 Troubleshooting instructions

The Centiva/5 Plus CC Ventilator software includes self test capability
to identify problems or malfunctions of the system. However, some
ventilator problems may not generate any message or alarm, even
though the ventilator is not be functioning correctly.
The self tests include:
• Power-up-test
• System test
• In-operation test
Additional self test capabilities are within the:
• O2 sensor calibration
User related alarms and messages will be displayed in the user
selected language to allow the operator to react, either by correcting
the problem or by calling an authorized service specialist.
The identified problem, malfunction or advice will be displayed with

either an alarm or a message on the screen.

Be aware that system test messages may appear because of artifacts

during the system test sequence. These artifacts could be moving,
manipulating and handling of accessories and breathing circuit
components while performing the tests. In this case no malfunction of
Centiva/5 Plus has created the message performing the system test

• Exp. flow = Expiration flow, measured via differential pressure
• AIR flow = Inspiration flow AIR, measured via differential
pressure
• O2 flow = Inspiration flow O2, measured via differential
pressure
The sensor offset values are defined in different accepted ranges

• No readjust range = Offset value is within an area where re-
adjustment is not necessary.
• Max. auto correct range = Offset values are automatically
corrected by the software during auto zeroing
For sensor offset values that are outside the “No readjust” offset re-
adjustment is necessary.
According to the sensor’s warm-up drift always allow the Centiva/5 to
warm up for at least 15 minutes, before taking data or performing any
calibration.

setting is in doubt set all DIP switch (1 – 8) to OFF.

9.11 Serial data transfer

Centiva/5 Plus provides capabilities to transfer ventilation parameter,
pressure - and flow waveform, all measured values and alarms to an
external data management system via a serial data protocol.
Centiva/5 Plus provides three protocols on demand to a data

management system:
- Ohmeda Com 1.0
- Ohmeda Com 1.3
- SalTim™ Com 1.0
Without any request from an external data management on the serial
port, Centvia/5 Plus disables the serial data transfer.
With a request from an external data management on the serial port,
Centvia/5 Plus activates the Ohmeda Com 1.0 protocol as the default.
On request from an external data management on the serial port
Centiva/5 Plus activates either the Ohmeda Com 1.3 or the SalTim Com
1.0 protocol.
Connection Connect a RS 232 data cable at the rear side of Centiva/5 Plus at the
serial data connection (D-Sub 9 female) with the following Pin
constellation:
- Pin 2 receive data
- Pin 3 transmit data
- Pin 5 signal ground
Correct connection is provided with serial cable P/N BE-120116.
Protocol Centiva/5 Plus uses the Ohmeda com 1.0 serial protocol (Anestheisa
Ohmeda Com 1.0 ventilator, AESTIVA 7900 & 7100 Ventilators) as the default protocol.
This allows connecting Centiav/5 Plus to all data management
systems using this protocol.
When connecting to a /5 system use the DIS 7900 Non-Aestiva
connection box. This box provides the correct D-Sub 9 connector to
connect to the Centiva/5 Plus. Do not use the DIS 7900 AESTIVA with a
D-Sub 15. Proper communication with the DEIO Clinisoft data
management system is tested. For more details refer to information
provided by the data management distributor.
