4. Supply pressure transducer
5. Flow transducer (Delta pressure transducer and net)
6. Nozzle unit with valve diaphragm
7. Solenoid
CAUTION: The Gas Modules are factory calibrated. The Gas Modules must not be
disassembled further than described in chapter 'Preventive Maintenance'.
Gas inlet
When the Gas Modules are mounted in the unit, the gas inlet channel in the filter cover
connects to the Gas Module Docking on the Gas Distribution Section.
The filter housing and the filter cover are provided with matching guide pins. These guide pins
prevent mounting of the filter cover (with gas inlet) on the wrong module.
Filter
The Filter protects the system from particles in the gas delivered to the Gas Modules. The filter
must be replaced during the 'Preventive Maintenance'.
Temperature sensor
The temperature of the supplied gas is measured by the Temperature Sensor. This sensor is
situated in the gas flow.
The output signal from this sensor is used to compensate for the gas density variations due to
temperature.
66 76 980_05 3 - 15
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Flow transducer
The gas flows through a net (resistance) which causes a pressure drop. The pressure is
measured on both sides of this net and the differential pressure value is then amplified.
Nozzle unit
The plastic Nozzle Unit contains a valve diaphragm. The valve diaphragm, controlled by the
Solenoid, regulates the gas flow through the Gas Module.
The complete plastic nozzle unit must be replaced during the 'Preventive Maintenance'. After
replacement, allow the diaphragm to adapt to the valve seat by the spring tension during
approx. 10 minutes before gas pressure is connected to the Gas Module.
Solenoid
The gas flow through the Gas Module is regulated by the Solenoid via the Nozzle Unit. The
current supplied to the solenoid is regulated so that the Gas Module will deliver a gas flow
according to the settings on the Control Panel.
ID/Status PROM
Information from the ID/Status PROM is read by the system.
Oscillation filter
The Oscillation filter is connected to the O2 Gas Module outlet. The mesh net inside the
Oscillation filter, and the volume of the container, will suppress flow variations caused by
oscillations in the O2 Gas Module.
O2 Flush Valve
The O2 Flush Valve (push-button marked O2+) is used to manually supply the fresh gas with an
additional O2 gas supply of minimum 40 l/min. This gas supply will not go through the vaporizer.
The O2 Flush gas supply will continue as long as the button is depressed.
The O2 Flush Valve is electrically connected to PC 1927 O2 Flush and the system detects if the
O2+ push-button is pressed. If so, ventilation continues without changes in the fresh gas
delivery; the anesthetic flow is not recalculated to adjust to the new higher flow and the
vaporizer continues to deliver the same anesthetic concentration.
If the O2 Flush button is pressed during automatic ventilation, the system will stop ventilation
and switch to expiration with maintained PEEP level. When the O2 Flush button is released,
ventilation will resume. If the button is stuck, or kept pressed, ventilation will automatically
resume after 60 s.
The O2 delivery from the O2 Flush Valve is not dependent on any electric function and
additional O2 can be supplied also in case of a power failure.
O2 with pressure regulated to 200 kPa by REG4 is delivered from the Drive Gas Supply Section
to the O2 Flush Valve.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
6. Vaporizer
There are vaporizers available for three different anesthetic agents; Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and
Desflurane.
The vaporizers are equipped with different filling devices adapted to anesthetic agent
manufacturers specifications.
A Liquid Container inside the vaporizer contains the anesthetic agent. When the vaporizer is
activated (a concentration is set and accepted), the Liquid Container will be pressurized to 120
kPa by the Vaporizer Drive Gas.
The liquid is lead via channels in the base plate, through the Safety Valve, to the Vaporizer
Injector. The injectors opening is pulse controlled in order to achieve the desired dose of liquid.
A nozzle plate in front of the injector forms the liquid into a spray in the Vaporizing Chamber.
Fresh Gas to Vaporizer passes through the Vaporizing Chamber and the anesthetic agent is
mixed with the gas. This gas mixture, Fresh Gas from Vaporizer, is then routed to the Patient
Cassette (or AFGO).
The Vaporizing Chamber is heated which promotes conversion of spray into gas. The
temperature is regulated to 47C for Isoflurane/Sevoflurane and 37C for Desflurane.
The Vaporizer Pressure Transducer measures the liquid pressure. The Safety Valve will cut off
the supply of liquid as a safety precaution. Presence of spray is monitored with the optical
Vaporizer Injection Detection.
Sintered metal filters protect the system from particles entering the liquid system. An optical
Liquid Level Sensor measures the liquid level in the Liquid Indicator glass tube. The agent is
filled into the container via a key filling valve. The mechanism is protected by a lid with a Lid
Sensor.
66 76 980_05 3 - 22
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Handle the vaporizer with care and never turn a vaporizer containing anesthetic agent upside
down or lay it sideways.
The Vaporizer is factory calibrated and leakage tested. The Vaporizer must not be
disassembled.
Repair or service in case of malfunction must be carried out by MAQUET Critical Care only.
The RMA procedure must be used when returning vaporizers to MAQUET Critical Care.
If the vaporizer is dropped, it must be serviced by MAQUET Critical Care to ensure proper
functionality.
The vaporizer must be emptied before it is returned to MAQUET Critical Care. Refer to
emptying instructions in the Users Manual.
EMC Gasket
The EMC Gasket is a metal blade located in the Vaporizer Drive Gas inlet. This metal blade will
ensure ground connection between the docking pipe and the vaporizer when docking the
vaporizer.
Docking Valve
The Docking Valve OV9 is a one-way valve located in the Vaporizer Drive Gas inlet. The
Vaporizer Drive Gas docking pipe on the Vaporizer Valve Section will mechanically open OV9
when the vaporizer is docked.
When the vaporizer is disconnected, OV9 will close and thus close the vaporizer pressure
channel. This will keep the Vaporizer Liquid Container closed.
66 76 980_05 3 - 23
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Vaporizer Lid
The Vaporizer Lid covers the Safety Fill Valve. The lids position is monitored by a reflective
object sensor (opto switch) on PC 1931 Vaporizer Lid Sensor.
The lid must be closed, or near closed position, in order to activate the vaporizer. If the lid is
detected as open, the vaporizer will be de-activated and thus de-pressurized.
Level Indicator
The anesthetic agent level in the liquid container is indicated in two different ways:
A float in the level meter tube shows the anesthetic agent level. The float is visible in the level
meter tube through the illuminated vaporizer window. The four white LEDs that light up the
window are located on PC 1912 Vaporizer Liquid Detector.
The anesthetic agent level is also monitored by LEDs on PC 1912 Vaporizer Liquid Detector
(sending) and PC 1913 Vaporizer Liquid Level Detector (receiving). These LEDs are mounted
on six different levels corresponding to 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. With this
design, the following anesthetic agent levels will be shown on the Control Panel:
Level < 5%
Level 510%
Level 1025%
Level 2550%
Level 5075%
Level 75100%
Level = 100%
This monitoring function is controlled by PC 1910 Vaporizer Controller Board.
The vaporizer liquid level alarms are:
Low priority clinical alarm when the liquid level is below 10%
Medium priority clinical alarm when the liquid level is below 5%.
The vaporizer will not switch off when empty, but it is not recommended to run the vaporizer dry.
Note: There may be small amounts of anesthetic agent remaining in the vaporizer, although the
indicator shows that the vaporizer is empty.
66 76 980_05 3 - 24
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Drain Plug
The vaporizer is equipped with a Drain Plug. This Drain Plug is intended for MAQUET Critical
Care service only and must not be removed during field service. Use a bottle with filling adapter
to empty the vaporizer. Refer to emptying instructions in the Users Manual.
Vaporizer Injector
The Vaporizer Injector VI supplies anesthetic agent into the fresh gas. Depending on the set
and the measured concentration, it injects the agent in very short pulses:
The injector delivers 0.8 l agent/ms (l = microliter, ms = millisecond).
Pulse time varies between 2 and 10 ms (5 and 10 ms for DES).
Volume injected agent/pulse is thus between 1.6 and 8 l (4.0 and 8.0 l for DES).
The injected agent speed is approx. 10 m/s. A built-in filter in the injector separates particles
down to 32 m in the anesthetic agent.
As the injector technology creates a high and disturbing sound, the vaporizer is designed to
reduce this sound. The injector itself has a flexible mounting inside the vaporizer. The injector is
also equipped with a free weight to reduce the injectors oscillation.
PC 1910 Vaporizer Controller Board contains drivers for the Vaporizer Injector.
66 76 980_05 3 - 25
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Vaporizing Chamber
The Vaporizer Injector VI supplies anesthetic agent into the Vaporizing Chamber. Fresh Gas to
Vaporizer, supplied by the Fresh Gas Modules, is routed into the Vaporizer via the Vaporizer
Inlet Valves PV1 or PV3. The fresh gas enters the Vaporizing Chamber where it is mixed with
the vaporized anesthetic agent.
The mixed Fresh Gas from Vaporizer exits the Vaporizer via the Vaporizer Outlet Valves PV2 or
PV4 and is routed to the Patient Cassette (or AFGO).

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
7. Safety Valve
Fresh Gas is supplied to the Patient Cassette from this section. Fresh gas to the Patient
Cassette is protected from high pressures by the Fresh Gas Safety Valve.
Fresh Gas Safety Valve SV1 is a spring-loaded solenoid valve. The valve is connected to the
Fresh Gas from Vaporizer channel close to the Patient Cassette. The valve is easy to remove
for inspection and cleaning.
A gas channel for the Reflector Gas is integrated in the safety valve unit, but is not connected to
the safety valve function.
66 76 980_05 3 - 28
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The safety valve solenoid is electrically controlled from PC 1919 Exp. channel:
When the solenoid is not activated, the safety valve is kept closed by the spring inside the
valve housing.
When the solenoid is electrically activated, the safety valve will open and the fresh gas is let
out from the fresh gas channel to the EVAC Reservoir thus enabling a decrease in the
inspiratory pressure.
The opening conditions for the safety valve are:
The pressure inside the inspiratory channel in the Patient Cassette is 5 cmH2O above the
preset upper pressure limit. This condition is controlled by the Monitoring subsystem. AUTO
mode only.
The pressure inside the inspiratory channel in the Patient Cassette is 7 cmH2O above the
preset upper pressure limit. This condition is controlled by the Control subsystem. AUTO
mode only.
The pressure inside the inspiratory channel in the Patient Cassette is above:
20 cmH2O if APL is set between SP and 12 cmH2O. Redundant opening condition at 25
cmH2O. MAN mode only.
Set APL +7 cmH2O if APL i set between 13 and 49 cmH2O. Redundant opening condition
at 12 cmH2O. MAN mode only.
Set APL +10 cmH2O if APL i set between 50 and 80 cmH2O. Redundant opening condition
at 15 cmH2O. MAN mode only.
The safety valve will also be opened by some other alarms, e. g. the High continuous

8. Patient Cassette
The Patient Cassette is the main interface for the gases distributed to and from the patient. The
cassette is a removable and easy-to-clean unit.
The gas modules and the unidirectional valves in the cassette control the gas flow through the
cassette. The gas flow is controlled due to:
Selected breathing system.
Selected ventilation mode.
Breath cycle phase.
The Patient Cassette connects to:
Fresh Gas from Vaporizer (via Safety Valve SV1).
Reflector Gas from the Reflector Gas Module.
Volume Reflector, two channels.
Expiratory Outlet.
Manual Ventilation Bag.
CO2 Absorber, inlet and outlet. The absorber connections are equipped with spring-loaded
cut-off valves that will automatically close the connections when the CO2 Absorber is lowered.
Patient tubing, Insp. and Exp.
The Patient Cassette also contains:
Gas return channel for the gas analyzer.
Pressure measuring points for Insp. and Exp. pressure.
Other integrated cassette main functions are:
The Expiratory Flow Transducer that measures the expiratory gas flow through the cassette.
The APL/PEEP Valve that limits the airway pressure during ventilation.
The Manual Ventilation Valve that connects the Manual Ventilation Bag.
The CO2 Absorber valves and a number of silicone parts in the cassette must be replaced
during Preventive Maintenance.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
66 76 980_05 3 - 31
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The expiratory gas temperature will differ within the breathing system; the gas will e.g. be
cooled down in the Volume Reflector. These temperature variations will affect the gas flow
calculations and thus also the volume measuring. One temperature sensor, located close to the
expiratory inlet, measures the temperature of the gas flow from the patient. The other
temperature sensor, located close to the flow transducer, measures the gas temperature in
conjunction with the flow transducer. With this design, the temperature from both the reflector
and the patient can be estimated.
APL/PEEP Valve
The APL/PEEP Valve limits the airway pressure to the level set by the operator.
The APL/PEEP Valve consists of a membrane in the cassette that is operated by the axis of the
APL/PEEP Valve Coil. The axis can be activated (pushed up) into desired position in two
different ways:
During automatic and manual ventilation, power supply to the coil is regulated so that the
airway pressure in the patient system is kept on the APL/PEEP level set by the operator.
During emergency manual ventilation, the axis is pushed up into desired position by the
mushroom valve inside the Emergency Valve Actuator mounted underneath the APL/PEEP
Valve Coil. Gas pressure (supplied by REG5) to inflate the mushroom valve is regulated to
correspond to the Mechanical APL level set by the operator.
The APL/PEEP Valve is fully open as long as the axis is not activated.
The APL/PEEP Valve membrane must be replaced during Preventive Maintenance.
There is also a counter for the breathing cycles. Operating capacity for the membrane is
estimated to 10.000.000 breathing cycles. If this limit is passed, or if the membrane for some
reason has become defective, it must be replaced. Remaining capacity (in %) for the membrane
can be shown in the Service & Settings Status window. The remaining capacity meter must be
reset after replacement of the membrane.

66 76 980_05 3 - 37
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Pneumatic Module
The pneumatic module interconnects the pump, the gas measurement bench and the O2
sensor. Includes two solenoid valves; the zero calibration valve (ZCV) and the purge flow valve
(PFV)
Zero Calibration Valve (ZCV): To establish a gas zero concentration reference, ambient air is
routed through the Gas Measurement Bench via the Zero Calibration Valve. The ambient gas
intake is located behind the Mechanical APL knob in the Emergency Ventilation section. A filter
is connected to the tubing.
The automatic zero calibration of the AION will be performed:
During warm-up
At a temperature change >1 C (in the GMB)
Every 4 hours
At gas span calibration.
66 76 980_05 3 - 38
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Pump Module
The Pump Module (PM) with a double-action membrane pump has a built-in flow control with its
own flow sensor. The delivered flow is very stable with minimal flow variations. The design of
the pump makes it very reliable with no maintenance necessary. The water trap to be used sets
the default sampling flow rate to 200 ml/min.
During the forced purge flow, the pump capacity will be increased to create the forced purge
flow. This will not change the sampling flow rate.
Base Module
The Base Module (BM) includes a PC board with CPU and memory functions. This PC board
controls the gas sampling system and performs calculations from the measured parameters.
The analog signals from the GMB and from the O2 sensor are converted to digital signals in the
AION CPU.
The AION-SW is stored in a flash memory. As from System version 2.0, installation of the AION-
SW is included in the semi-automatic System software installation procedure. Refer to chapter
Service procedures.
The AION PC board has a 5 V DC/DC converter for its internal power supply.
66 76 980_05 3 - 39
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
O2 is distinguished from most other common gases by its paramagnetic properties. This fact is
used by the paramagnetic O2 sensor, which has two nitrogen filled glass spheres mounted on a
strong rare metal taut-band suspension. This assembly is suspended in a symmetrical non-
uniform magnetic field. In the presence of paramagnetic O2, the glass spheres are pushed
further away from the strongest part of the magnetic field. The strength of the torque acting on
the suspension is proportional to the O2 concentration.
A feedback system creates a current that balances the torque acting on the suspension
assembly. The feedback current is directly proportional to the partial pressure of O2 in the
sample. A voltage output is derived that is proportional to the current, which in turn is
proportional to the O2 concentration.
The O2 sensor has no consumable parts and has a consistent performance over time. It
requires no reference gas for zero calibration and has no interference from other respiratory
gases.
The O2 sensor analogue output is converted to digital and delivered to the system, together
with gas measurement information from AION.
AION uses the O2 concentration data to compensate for the O2 interference on the gas
measurements performed by AION.
The O2 sensor is powered with +5 VDC.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Water Trap
The DRYLINE water trap protects the gas analyzer system from condensed water, secretions,
bacterial contamination and dust. It consists of two parts, a filter housing with hydrophobic anti-
bacterial filter and a container for separated waste.
The filter housing has one gas sample inlet (W1) to be connected to the sampling tube.
In the water trap, the sampling flow is divided in two parts:
Sampling gas flow (W2), approx. 90%.
Purge gas flow (W3), approx. 10%. This flow will create a negative pressure inside the water
trap in order to collect the water droplets.
There are two outlets in the filter housing, one for each gas flow.
66 76 980_05 3 - 41
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The Water Trap is connected to the Water Trap Receptacle. There are two gas connections on
the receptacle; one for the sampling gas flow and one for the purge gas flow.
The gas sample is routed via a bacteria filter and a Nafion tube. The Nafion tube equalizes
the moisture content and the temperature in the sampled gas to that of the ambient air. This is
to reduce the influence on the measurements from humidity and to prevent from water
condensation inside the sampling system.
Two electrical switches on the water trap receptacle detect if a water trap is present. If no water
trap is connected or if a water trap without container is connected, both switches are inactive.
The pump, and thus the gas flow through the Patient Gas Analyzer, is automatically stopped to
prevent contamination.
The control signal cable from the water trap receptacle PC board is connected to the Main back-
plane.

66 76 980_05 3 - 43
3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
CO2 Absorber
There are two different versions of the CO2 Absorber:
CO2 Absorber, disposable (single use)
CO2 Absorber, reusable.
Expiratory gas from the Volume Reflector is routed through the CO2 Absorber and thus purified
before it is mixed with Fresh Gas from Vaporizer and delivered to the patient.
The CO2 Absorber will also handle water that may condensate in the absorber.
Furthermore, the color of the absorbent will change when consumed (from white to blue/violet).
The disposable CO2 Absorber contains 700 ml of absorbent.
The absorber is placed in the absorber compartment and lifted into position (Bypassed or
Locked) by a spring-loaded piston that is manually actuated by the absorber locking switch.
Absorber Sensor
The Absorber Sensor is a micro switch that is actuated by the piston in the absorber lift.
The sensor indicates when:
The absorber is not connected (locking switch position Open or Bypassed)
The absorber is connected (locking switch position Locked).
The Absorber Sensor is electrically connected to PC 1907 Valve Drivers.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
CAUTION: As the Volume Reflector and the Reflector Socket are exposed to the
patients expired gas it must be included in the routine cleaning procedure, refer to
the Users Manual.
Volume Reflector
The purpose of the Volume Reflector is to store the patients expired gas so that the gas can be
purified in the CO2 absorber for partial re-use during next inspiration phase.
The inside of the reflector is designed as a long gas channel with a volume of 1.2 liter (1.3 liter
including Reflector Socket).
During the expiration phase, expiratory gas from the patient will be routed into the reflector gas
channel.
During the inspiration phase, reflector gas from the Reflector Gas Module will be routed into the
other end of the reflector gas channel. The reflector gas will, like a piston, push the expiratory
gas out from the reflector and through the CO2 Absorber. Fresh Gas according the Control
Panel setting will then be mixed with the purified gas to form the inspiratory gas to the patient.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Flowmeter unit
The O2 gas supply hose is connected to the O2 inlet (2). O2 supply pressure must be 300-650
kPa. An O2 filter is mounted inside the module.
Outlet flow is regulated by means of the flowmeter regulating valve (5). Current flow is shown by
the flowmeter tube (4) where the center of the ball aligned to the printed scale corresponds to
the actual flow. Max. flow is 15 l/min. Note that older units have a printed scale up to 10 l/min.
With the tube adapter (3) attached, the flowmeter outlet can be connected to 4, 6 and 8 mm
tubing.
Suction unit
The Air gas supply hose is connected to the Air inlet (1). Air supply pressure must be 300-650
kPa.
The suction pressure is created by an ejector inside the Suction unit. The ejector outlet, inside
the unit, is equipped with a silencer to reduce the sound level from the ejector.
Suction pressure is regulated by means of the On/Off switch (6) and the suction unit regulatory
valve (8). The vacuum gauge (7) shows the current suction pressure.
Max. suction pressure is -60 kPa down to -90 kPa (depending on the Air supply pressure).
The suction jar used in conjunction with the unit must have a volume of at least 0.5 liters. The
tube connecting the suction jar with the suction unit must have an inner diameter of at least 6
mm and not be more than 1 m in length. The tube material should be rigid enough to prevent
occlusion.
A hydrophobic bacterial/viral filter must be connected to the suction unit. It protects the system
against contagious particles and acts as a second overflow protection device in addition to the
device located in the suction jar. The suction unit cannot be operated without a correctly placed
bacterial/viral filter.
A visual inspection and a function check of the Auxiliary O2 and Suction Module must be
performed during the Preventive Maintenance.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The Backup Gas Trolley/Backup Gas Rack is equipped with PIN-index connections (yokes) for
2 gas cylinders:
O2 gas cylinder. Max cylinder gas pressure is 20000 kPa (200 bar) before the pressure
regulator.
AIR gas cylinder. Max cylinder gas pressure is 20000 kPa (200 bar) before the pressure
regulator.
N2O gas cylinder. Max cylinder gas pressure is 8000 kPa (80 bar) before the pressure
regulator.
Max. allowed gas cylinder size is: length 655 mm (valve excluded), diameter 140 mm.
The gas inlet channels, inside the yokes, contain inlet filters. The filters must be replaced during
Preventive maintenance.
The gas inlet channels were previously equipped with one-way valves (OV21 and OV22). These
valves are not required as the one-way function is secured by OV4, OV5 and OV6 inside the
Gas Distribution Section. The valves were thus removed in units produced from Q4 2013.
The cylinder gas pressure is reduced to 350 kPa by the pressure regulators (REG21 and
REG22). The gas is then connected to the Gas distribution section via tubing. The pressure
regulators are preset in factory and cannot be adjusted during field service.
The pressure transducers on PC 1916 Cylinder pressure connection are connected to PC 1903
External connectors, thus the gas pressure in the cylinders will be displayed on the Control
panel. Alarm is activated if the gas pressure is outside the preset alarm limits.
The cable connector on PC 1916 is protected by a cover. When this cover is open (e.g. when
the signal cable is connected), the Backup Gas Trolleys locking mechanism is blocked and the
trolley cannot be removed from the system.
There are two safety valves (SV21 and SV22) on the trolley/rack; one for each gas. The safety
valves are preset to open at a pressure of 650 kPa (6.5 bar).
Filters and seals in the yokes as well as cylinder gas supply filters and O-rings in the Gas
Distribution Section must be replaced during the Preventive Maintenance. The gas tube
connections must also be checked during Preventive Maintenance. The gas tube connections
must be tightened firmly with a wrench. It must not be possible to disconnect the gas tubes by
hand (without wrench).
Note: The Backup Gas Trolley/Backup Gas Rack as well as separate gas cylinders must be
secured, by means of a chain or wall mount, when not mounted on the system or when kept in
storage.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
The Backup Gas Holder is equipped with PIN-index connection (yoke) for 1 gas cylinder:
N2O gas cylinder. Max cylinder gas pressure is 8000 kPa (80 bar) before the pressure
regulator.
O2 gas cylinder. Max cylinder gas pressure is 20000 kPa (200 bar) before the pressure
regulator.
Max. allowed gas cylinder size is:
For C20: length 655 mm (valve excluded), diameter 140 mm.
For C30/C40: length 595 mm (valve excluded), diameter 140 mm. A bottom plate mounted on
C30 units prevents cylinders with lengths > 595 mm to be connected.
The gas inlet channel, inside the yoke, contains an inlet filter. The filter must be replaced during
Preventive maintenance.
The gas inlet channel was previously equipped with a one-way valve (OV23). This valve is not
required as the one-way function is secured by OV4 and OV6 inside the Gas Distribution
Section. The valve was thus removed in units produced from Q4 2013.
The cylinder gas pressure is reduced to 350 kPa by the pressure regulator (REG23). The gas is
then connected to the Gas distribution section via tubing. The pressure regulator is preset in
factory and cannot be adjusted during field service.
The pressure transducer is connected to PC 1903 External connectors, thus the gas pressure in
the cylinder will be displayed on the Control panel. Alarm is activated if the gas pressure is
outside the preset alarm limits.
There is a safety valve (SV23) on the holder. The safety valve is preset to open at a pressure of
650 kPa (6.5 bar).
Filter and seal in the yoke as well as cylinder gas supply filter and O-ring in the Gas Distribution
Section must be replaced during the Preventive Maintenance. The gas tube connections must
also be checked during Preventive Maintenance. The gas tube connections must be tightened
firmly with a wrench. It must not be possible to disconnect the gas tube by hand (without

Gas analyzer
Gas analyzer check and calibration as described in this chapter covers:
Patient gas analyzer AION. Check and calibration using Service & Settings.
Patient O2 sensor. Check using Gas analyzer tool (available in Tools) and calibration using
KMG 2000 Service Software.
Note 1: The Patient Gas Analyzer AION and the Patient O2 sensor must be calibrated together
to save the Patient O2 sensor calibration values in AION.
If the gas analyzer check indicates that calibration must be performed, it is only required to
calibrate the unit (AION or O2 sensor) that failed during the check. If both units failed, always
start with O2 sensor calibration.
If AION has been replaced, both units must be calibrated. Always start with O2 sensor
calibration.
If the O2 sensor has been replaced, it is only required to calibrate the O2 sensor.
Note 2: With System version 3.0, monitoring of respiratory and anesthetic gases is changed.
The Control Gas Analyzer (CGA) is no longer used and calibration of Control gas analyzer
AION and Control O2 sensor is thus not required. For information on previous System versions,
refer to chapter Revision history, section FLOW-i revision history.
Before starting any check or calibration of AION or O2 sensor, read the complete Gas analyzer
chapter below to be familiar with the procedures.
Leakage in the system will result in a faulty calibration. Always perform a System checkout
before starting the calibration, refer to the Users Manual.
After any installation, maintenance or service intervention in the system, perform a 'System

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
General
Before starting troubleshooting, try to eliminate all possibilities of operational errors. If the
malfunction remains, use the troubleshooting guides below as well as the information in chapter
'Description of functions' to locate the faulty part.
There should be a logical trend to your troubleshooting. First try to trace the faulty function.
Then the most suitable procedure is to track down the exact fault by systematically replacing
individual spare parts, one at a time. One purpose of the Description of functions and the
Diagrams in this Service Manual is to make it easier to trace faults.
When the fault is corrected, carry out a complete 'System checkout' as described in the User's
Manual.
The troubleshooting guides below are focused only on technical problems. Information about
clinical related problems can be found in the User's Manual.
For functionality enhancement, the latest released System SW version is always recommended.
The information in this chapter applies to FLOW-i System version 4.0 (or higher).
WARNING! With gas supply connected to the system, there are pressurized
components inside the unit. All personnel must exercise extreme caution if fault
tracing or adjustments are performed with gas supply connected.
WARNING! With power supply connected to the system, there are energized
electrical components inside the unit. All personnel must exercise extreme caution
if fault tracing or adjustments are performed with power supply connected and with
covers removed.
Possible causes to malfunction not mentioned in the following troubleshooting guides are:
The system has not been correctly assembled after cleaning, maintenance or service.
Disconnection or bad connection in cable connectors, PC board connectors, and
interconnection boards (PC 1900, PC 1909, etc).
Pinched cables. Defective cables may short-circuit power supply, CAN-bus signals, etc.
Disconnected or defective gas tubes, breathing gas as well as drive gas.
Note: Repeated disconnection/connection of tubes in quick couplings may cause a leakage.
These possible causes to malfunction must always be considered during troubleshooting.
66 76 980_05 6-2
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
System checkout
The FLOW-i demands the user to start the automatic System checkout at every startup of the
unit. The User's Manual describes how to perform this System checkout.
The System checkout-description on the following pages gives more detailed information about
the System checkout. This information can be used e.g. during troubleshooting of the unit.
Some of the recommended actions described below refer to Service & Settings (S&S). The
Service key is required to access S&S. Troubleshooting can of course be performed without
access to S&S, but for some of the recommended actions, S&S will make troubleshooting faster
and easier.
Check if the fault remains after each performed service action. Re-run the full System checkout
or run the concerned test using S&S.
Some of the tests will fail due to leakages in the breathing system, improper sampling line, etc.
If they fail, a dialog box will open and make it possible to Redo the test when these parts have
been adjusted.
It is also possible to select System checkout via the Standby Menu; a Full check as well as
separate Leakage check and Vaporizer check. The Leakage check also measures circuit
compliance. These separate checks do not replace the complete System checkout.

Checks that the Insp. and Exp. valve discs are in place and are able to move.
The user is requested to open the cassette lid and press Start check.
The user is requested to observe and ensure the ceramic valve discs are moving.
The test is passed when the user presses Yes.
If they are not moving properly the user shall press No and the test fails.
The user is requested to close the cassette lid and press Continue.
If the system detects that the cassette lid is open after the user pressed Yes, a dialog will
appear. The user gets the choice to close the lid, or to press Bypass in case the system have
problems detecting the lid position.
Pressing Bypass will not affect the test result, but generate an event in the log.
At start of this test, it is verified that the air inlet supply pressure is within range. The APL/PEEP
valve is open. The test is started by opening the Fresh Gas Module AIR. The Vaporizer bypass
valve is closed in order to build-up a pressure of approx. 110 cmH2O (measured by the Fresh
Gas Pressure Transducer). When the target pressure is reached, the bypass valve is opened.
66 76 980_05 6-5
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
This creates a pressure wave which will cause the inspiratory and expiratory valve to move.
Actual generated pressure will be shown in the test log. If the pressure reaches 140 cmH2O or
fails to reach 50 cmH2O, the test will be aborted.
The pressure wave is repeated for 90 s or until the test is manually deactivated.

Flow test
If the N2O module is supplied with gas, the tests of the Fresh Gas Modules are tested two by
two. The Reflector Gas Module is tested individually.
Order: Air + N2O, O2 + N2O, Air + O2 and Reflector.
If the N2O module is not supplied with gas, the tests of the Fresh Gas Modules are first tested
individually and then two by two. The Reflector Gas module is tested individually.
Order: Air, O2, Air + O2 and Reflector.
The modules to be tested are set to deliver 30 l/min.
The Control and Monitoring system receives the measured values from all Gas Modules and
the Patient Cassette. The measured value from the modules must be within the following
limits in order for the test to pass:
Active modules: 29.4 30.6 l/min
Inactive modules: -0.096 0.096 l/min
Patient Cassette: 90 110 % of the sum of all Gas Modules flow as measured by the same
subsystem (CON and MON).
Note: When the Fresh Gas Module O2 is active, the value from Reflector Gas Module will be
ignored and when the Reflector Gas Module is active, the value from Fresh Gas Module O2 will
be ignored. This is due to that the modules are using the same gas supply.
Noise measurement
The amplitude of the sound pulses generated by the ultrasonic transducers/receivers in the
Expiratory Flow Transducer is measured at zero gas flow.
The amplitude of the received sound pulse is measured in an earlier timeframe than during
ordinary operation. The measured amplitude gives an indication of how much of the transmitted
sound pulse that travels through the solid cassette material instead of through the gas mixture in
the Expiratory Flow Transducer.
The values from both upstream and downstream directions are logged.
k factor
First the sum of the flow values from all of Gas Modules in the flow tests is calculated.
Secondly the sum of all the flow values from the Patient Cassette is calculated, where the flow
value from the gas reflector tests is absolute.
The k value is produced by dividing the Gas Module flow sum with the Patient Cassette flow
sum. The k value must be within 0.92 1.08.
The k value is tested by multiplying each Patient Cassette flow value measured by the
Monitoring system with the k value. If the sum of the flow values from the Gas Modules differ
more than 8% from the new Patient Cassette flow value in a subtest, the test will fail.
