IMPORTANT NOTES
l This Manual gives details and information concerning the technical aspects of the Kestrel
ventilator with version 40.xx and 5.xx software. It must be used whenever any repairs or
planned preventative maintenance are carried out. It is associated with the Maintenance
Manual for the ANMEDIC FALCON Anaesthesia Machine (ANMEDIC No.0041-113) - and other
manuals - with which it may be bound.
l Maintenance manuals should be kept together at all times.
l Refer to the FALCON Operators Manual for details of the operating environment.
l Certain sections in these instructions are marked WARNING, CAUTION or NOTE. These
sections are printed within a box for emphasis.
WARNINGS
The KESTREL Ventilator does not support Neonatal ventilation.
To ensure safe operation, use only accessories approved for design and
compatibility. Do not obstruct the ventilation apertures.
Do not remove the power-supply lead by pulling on the cable.
CAUTION
Anaesthetic procedures at the operating site can be adversely affected if electromagnetic
interference exceeds the limits set by the IEC 601-1-2 standard.
Where the ventilator uses oxygen as a driving gas; ensure that the oxygen solenoid
interrupts the oxygen supply when the machine is switched off.
The anaesthesia ventilator is not provided with a system to measure expiration volume.
An appropriate monitor set for expiration volume lower limit should be used to ensure safe
operation.
The mains supply plug should be disconnected before cleaning or disinfecting mains-
powered machines.
This medical instrument is not designed for use in the presence of explosive gases.
NOTE
The supplier is liable for safety, reliability and functionality only if:
l the machine is used in accordance with the operators instructions;

Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
l The KESTREL Ventilator is designed for use in conjunction with the Anmedic FALCON
anaesthesia machine. It requires the use of a circle system provided with a B.I.B
(Bag-in-Bottle) drive to ventilate a patient connected to the anaesthesia machine.
l The ventilator provides the necessary power (in the form of driving-gas, AIR or OXYGEN
supplied from the FALCON), to generate volumes and pressures in the ventilating system.
l The ventilator is controlled by 2 micro-controllers (A and B) which work independently of

each other while monitoring each other over a serial interface.
Controller A is responsible for data input and display control.
Controller B is responsible for capture of metered data and control of switching valves.
l The display controls allow selection of a variety of ventilation modes and parameters;
allowing the driving pressure and volume to be set at pre-determined levels.
Version 40.xx only

l The following ventilation modes can be selected via the controls at the display panel:-
IMV Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
PLV Pressure Limited Ventilation
SIMV (when specified) Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
Spontaneous Ventilation (via STANDBY mode)
Manual Ventilation (via STANDBY mode)
Version 5.xx only

l The following ventilation modes can be selected via the controls at the display panel:-
IMV Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
PCV Pressure Controlled Ventilation
SIMV (when specified) Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
Spontaneous Ventilation (via STANDBY mode)
Manual Ventilation (via STANDBY mode)
l Inspiration flow is calculated from the selected values for I:E Ratio; Tidal Volume and
Breath Rate.
The fresh gas flow and compliance of the ventilator circuit are compensated for.
Inspiration plateau phase can be achieved by manually increasing the inspiration flow
above the minimum value displayed.
l When SIMV is required; first select the SIMV mode on the main PCB, then fit the SIMV
Flowsensor to the base connection of the Bag-in-Bottle and make the pneumatic and
electrical connection from the flowsensor to connectors at the rear of the ventilator (as
described in the section Setting to Work).
l A rechargeable battery provides emergency power in case of mains failure. The battery
charges as long as the ventilator is switched ON. When fully charged it allows 30 mins
emergency operation. A microprocessor provides 2 charging levels:-
(1) ON and STANDBY - high charge

(2) ON and VENTILATE - reduced charge
Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001) 1-1

Introduction
1.2 Power and Pressure Supply
Driving-gas (AIR or Oxygen) is provided through the FALCON anaesthesia machine at a

nominal pressure of 340 - 420 kPa.
Electrical power (115V or 230V, 50/60 Hz, AC) is provided via the FALCONs mains power
supply.
Driving-gas and mains power are both monitored during operation. An alarm is activated if,
during operation, the driving-gas pressure is too low to supply the selected flow-rates.
In the event of mains power failure, the KESTREL can continue operating without interruption
through the built-in emergency battery supply. Use of the emergency supply is signalled by a
high priority alarm and a visual display.
1.3 Patient Connection
The KESTREL is connected via the FALCON to the B.I.B systems pressure chamber and the
circle system is connected to the B.I.B via the pneumatic bag/vent switch (built into the B.I.B.)
l (SIMV only)
The SIMV flowsensor must be fitted between the patient system and the B.I.B. The func-
tion of the sensor is inspiration-flow dependent triggering during SIMV operation, and
airway pressure data capture.
WARNING
The SIMV flowsensor lines and the armoured electrical heater cable must be
connected to the marked connectors at the rear of the KESTREL ventilator.
(see section 5 page 5)
l (For all breathing modes)

Connect the pressure line from the distal end of the expiratory limb of the patient circuit to
the single connector on the front panel of the ventilator.
l Refer to the section Setting to Work for details of necessary connections.

2 CONTROLS
2.1 Ventilator Display (see Diagram of Front Panel, page 2-2)
The ventilator is provided with a double-row, 40-digit, back-lit, LCD display, mounted in the
control panel.
During the powering-up phase, and in conjunction with the T1 Functions Test, the display is
used exclusively for control messages.
During operation, individual sections of the display are allocated to specific labelled parameters.
The displayed parameters can be altered by means of a rotary control in conjunction with the
appropriate setting key.
2.2 Using the Ventilator Controls (General)
Switching from VENTILATE to STANDBY , or vice versa, is achieved by pressing the marked
key. The selected mode being indicated by a green or yellow indicator colour.
The ventilation mode can only be changed between volume and pressure modes during
STANDBY.
During operation, ventilator control is via the keypad on the front panel (see Diagram). This
contains 10 operating keys and the rotary/press control wheel. All the functions are appropri-
ately identified.
The Rotary Control is used to set and then confirm ventilation parameters. The value to be
altered is first selected by pressing the relevent key. This causes the selected value to flash in
the display. The value may now be altered by turning the rotary control (clockwise to increase -
counter-clockwise to decrease). When the desired value has been set it can be entered by
pressing the rotary control (input, enter, <ETR>.
2.3 Alarms (General)
The KESTREL ventilator is provided with alarm indicator lights and an audible warning.
High Priority Alarms are indicated by a flashing red light above the rotary control.
Low Priority Alarms are indicated by a steady yellow light above the rotary control.
When the alarms are silenced; the warning lights remain illuminated.
NOTE
Short-term alarms only activate the audible warning in the event of a fault; however, they are
stored and displayed to allow later identification. The storage of an alarm status is cancelled
by pressing the Silence Alarm key. In the event of a continuous fault; the audible warning can
be cancelled for a period of 2 minutes at a time.

If alternative settings are required at the start of ventilation; use the relevant keys to change the
displayed settings while still in the STANDBY mode. Note however, that the parameters may be
changed at any time during active ventilation.
In Figure 2, (opposite page), the Inspiration Flow has been increased. The desired tidal
volume is reached in a shorter time period. Since I:E Ratio remains the same (1 :2); a pressure
plateau forms which remains until the expiration phase commences.

Inspiration Flow 2 L/min to 80 L/min
PEEP 3 hPa to 20 hPa (3 mbar to 20 mbar)

SIMV is a ventilation mode where the ventilator is monitoring the flow of gas during the expira-
tion phase. If the patient attempts to breath the flow sensor will recognise this activity and de-
liver a mandatory breath. This mandatory breath will conform to the settings displayed.
The objective of the ventilator is to maintain the set breath rate. This is achieved by
varying the length of the expiration phase. If a triggered breath occurs during the normal expira-
tion window the next expiration window will be extended to compensate for the set breath rate.
Breath stacking does not occur due to monitoring functions within SIMV. The ventilator will delay
the next breath for as long as possible (the time being dependant on rate and I:E Ratio). The
ventilator will not deliver a breath if the patient is breathing.
If the ventilator is consistantly triggered, ALL breaths will be triggered by patient activity and the
ventilator will deliver triggered mandatory breaths upto the set breath rate. Any triggering above
this set rate will be ignored (no mandatory breaths delivered) and the patient will be able to
breath spontaneously
Refer to Figures 1- 4
Terms
Trigger Window: The time interval within the expiration phase during which mechanical inspira-
tion can be triggered.
Mandatory Pause: A safety interval of 0,3s at the beggining of the expiration phase where no
triggering can occur. This prevents spurious triggering caused by unstable flow measurement.
l The Trigger Window opens at the start of respiration. (possibly delayed by 0,3 s depend-
ing on operational conditions) and the length of the window is determined by the setting
of I:E Ratio and Breath Rate.
l Triggering occurs when an inspiration flow of 3,0 L/min is measured for 30ms by the
SIMV flowsensor.
l The SIMV respiration cycle always starts with the expiration phase. (Unlike IMV which
commences with the inspiration phase ).
l No spontaneous breaths can occur during mechanical ventilation.

Then, while still in the STANDBY mode, change any other settings as required. Note however,
that the parameters may be changed at any time during active ventilation.
CAUTION

BREATH PRESSURE, so that:-
High Pressure Limit = Breath Pressure + 10 hPa

when the value for Breath Pressure is altered (Breath Pressure + 10 hPa).
l In Figure 3 (opposite page), the inspiration flow has been increased. This increases the
slope of the graph so that the set pressure is achieved in a shorter period of time. Inspiration
time is decreased and expiration time increased (to fit the set breath rate ).
l In Figure 4 ( opposite page ), the inspiration flow has been decreased. This decreases
the slope of the graph so that a longer period of time is taken to achieve the set pressure.
Inspiration time is increased and expiration time decreased (to fit the set breath rate ).
l In Figure 5 (next page), the inspiration flow has been decreased to a level at which the
set pressure cannot be achieved within the time allowed by the breath rate. In this case the
ventilator switches to the expiration phase of the cycle before the set pressure is reached. This
activates the PRESSURE LIMIT alarm -which remains active until the start of the next inspira-
tion phase and will then resume each time the set pressure is not reached.
NOTE
If the PRESSURE LIMIT alarm condition remains for longer than 15 seconds; the alarm
changes to a DISCONNECTION alarm.

4 Alarms
4.1 General
An alarm is triggered when the ventilator detects a physical defect in the equipment or if
any of the operator-defined parameters are not met. The alarms fall into 3 groups:-
1 PATIENT SYSTEM (disconnection, high pressure, pressure limit not achieved)
2 POWER SUPPLY (driving-gas failure, mains power failure, battery failure)
3 SYSTEM ERROR (ventilator failure)
The Power Supply Alarms are triggered as follows:-
l HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (280 kPa driving-gas pressure not achieved during
expiration)
l HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (mains power fails -machine switches to battery)
l HIGH PRIORITY ALARM (battery becomes exhausted during mains failure)
The System Error Alarms are triggered when:-
l Either of the micro-processors fails or their mutual interface becomes faulty.

Then, an alarm is activated; ERROR messages displayed; the machines switches to an
IDLE state. (This state is defined as a no-pressure state at the Bag/Vent Switch). Dur-
ing the IDLE state, the patient can breath spontaneously and be ventilated by using the
Reservoir Bag.
Pressure-Iimiting:-
l In addition to the selection of pressure-Iimiting during operation; the machine is

provided with a system for limiting the driving-gas maximum pressure to 75 hPa.
This is achieved by a spring-Ioaded pressure-control valve -the correct operation of
which is tested during the T1 Test.

m Maximum airway pressure limiting
n Controllable airway pressure limiting
j Airway Pressure is displayed in the form of a bar graph, within which the high pressure
limit may be set and displayed. When the set high pressure is reached; a high priority
alarm is triggered and the ventilator switches immediately to expiration. The pressure is
actively limited to the set high limit.
k Expiration Volume must be monitored with an external monitor with limitalarms -since
the ventilator generates a defined inspiration tidal volume.
l Ventilation system monitoring is achieved by cyclic monitoring of airway pressure in

the inspiration and expiration phases. A disconnection alarm triggers in the event of
faulty pressure values.
m Maximum airway pressure limiting is achieved by the use of a spring-Ioaded pres

sure-limiting valve set to 75 hPa.
n Controllable pressure limiting is provided in the ventilator by adjusting the High

Pressure setting on the display and an APL valve on the BIB controls the pressure
(between 1.5 and 65 hPa) for the spontaneous circuit.
4-2 Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001)

Alarms
4.3 Alarms Description

HIGH PRESSURE
A high priority alarm is triggered when airway pressure reaches the set high pressure
limit. This terminates the inspiration phase; switches off driving-gas and opens the expi-
ration valve; so reducing the airway pressure to minimum.
The acoustic alarm lasts as long as the fault remains unrectified and can be suppressed
for a period of 120s at a time. The visual alarm flashes as long as the fault remains.
Once the fault is rectified; the alarm remains illuminated for later identification until
manually reset.
The high priority alarm state is terminated as soon as-an inspiration phase is success-
fully concluded (but the red lamp stays illuminated and the error message will remain
until the MUTE button is pressed to clear the message ).
DISCONNECTION ?
l IMV/SIMV -the alarm is triggered when the inspiration pressure does not rise
above, and fall below PEEP + 7 hPa.
l PCV -the alarm is triggered when the initial inspiration pressure does not rise
above and fall below, Breath pressure -2 hPa.
l PLV -the alarm is triggered when the initial inspiration pressure does not rise
above and fall below, Breath pressure -2 hPa.
SIMV FLOWSENSOR
SIMV Flowsensor
A high priority alarm is triggered when a fault within the flowsensor or its associated
circuits is recognised.
SYSTEM PRESSURE
A high priority alarm is triggered if a difference between driving-gas pressure and patient
pressure of > 4 hPa is recognised during the inspiration phase.
This alarm has no delay and can be triggered at any time during the ventilation phase.
The most common problem that causes this alarm is the bellows are empty due to
leakage or disconnection
Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001) 4-3

Alarms
4.3 ALARMS Description (continued)
PRESSURE LIMIT
ACTIVE ONLY IN PCV MODE
In the event of the pressure limit not being reached during PCV (Pressure Controlled
Ventilation); a low priority alarm is triggered during the first 30s and automatically resets
when the condition is rectified.
If the condition lasts longer than 30s, the alarm switches to a high priority state and must
be confirmed before it can be turned off.
This alarm can be triggered due to the inspiration flow being set too low.
ACTIVE ONLY IN PLV MODER

RE LIMIT
In the event of the pressure limit not being reached during PLV (Pressure Limited
Ventilation); a low priority alarm is triggered during the first 30s and automatically resets
when the condition is rectified.
If the condition lasts longer than 30s, the alarm switches to a high priority state and must
be confirmed before it can be turned off.
FRESH GAS HIGH
A low priority alarm is triggered if an excessively high fresh gas flow rate is set at the
flowmeter.
In this case, bellows movement is much reduced or absent -therefore ventilation is
carried out only by the fresh gas flow and the specified Tidal Volume cannot be guaran-
teed (it may be higher or lower than that set).
The alarm automatically resets as soon as the fresh gas flow is reduced.
An alarm is also triggered if the fresh gas flow exceeds 25 L/min. (Not activated when
the O2 Flush is used).
PRESSURE < -8mBar
A High Priority alarm is triggered if the pressure in the patient circuit is reduced to less
than -8 mBar. (A state which I if continued, will damage the pressure transducers of
the ventilator and monitor presenting a potential hazard for the patient).
e.g.
In a closed circuit, when a sampling-pump (which is used by some monitors), may
reduce the patient circuit pressure to a negative value.
(continued)
4-4 Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001)

Alarms
BATT OVERLOAD
Battery discharged please wait 20 mins
A high priority alarm is triggered if the battery becomes defective ( e.g. through over-
loading or overcharging) or if the battery has become discharged to the point where safe
operation can no longer be assured.
The ventilator switches into the IDLE state when the battery becomes defective.
The patient can breathe spontaneously, or be ventilated manually.
WARNING
l Kestrels with serial numbers below 88990252 must not be allowed to discharge
beyond the point at which the low battery message is given.
These older ventilators can be identified internally by having one relay on the
main PCB; newer versions have two relays close together. The extra relay pro-
tects later versions by making the unit shut down before it can discharge the
battery below a certain level (10.75V) at some point below this level, the battery
of earlier versions of the ventilator can be permanently damaged by so-called
deep discharge. Once permanent damage has ocurred the ventilator will not
pass its T1 test and will be unusable. (see also diagrams page 12-4 & 12.5)
WARNING
l The FALCON anaesthesia machine is provided with an automatic solenoid
valve which will interrupt the driving-gas supply to the ventilator in the
event of simultaneous failure of both the mains power supply and the
ventilatorsemergency battery.
l Should this occur; ventilation must continue with the use of the reservoir
bag.
MAINS FAILURE
A high priority alarm is triggered in the event of mains power failure. This indicates that
the ventilator has automatically switched to its internal emergency battery power.
HARDWARE
FAULT
A high priority alarm is triggered if the ventilator recognises the development of a fault in
its associated hardware (i.e. valve operation).
WATCHDOG
ERROR
A constant alarm is triggered if the internal watchdog circuits, which constantly monitor
the performance of the ventilator, recognise the development of any electronic circuit
faults. The ventilator will display a series of numbers to inform the user of what type of
fault has occurred, e.g. 30 24 16. Record these numbers to aid in diagnosing the fault.
Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001) 4-5

Alarms

FAN FAULT
A ventilation fan is incorporated in the ventilator casing. If the ventilator is driven with
oxygen; the fan prevents oxygen concentrating internally in the event of an internal gas
leak.
The rotation of the fan is monitored optically and if it fails to rotate a high priority alarm
is triggered.
BELLOWS DRIVE
A high priority alarm is triggered during expiration if the gas-supply pressure is insuffi-
cient to provide the required driving-gas flow.
The alarm sounds for as long as the fault remains unrectified and during this time it can
be muted for periods of 120 seconds at one time.
When the fault in gas supply is rectified, the visual alarm remains illuminated until it is
manually reset.
Ventilation cannot be guaranteed due to the drop in driving gas pressure and it is sug-
gested that the ventilator is switched to standby and manual ventilation is used.
PRESSURE version 5 software

FAULT
A high priority alarm is activated in PCV if a sustained high pressure (above breath
pressure) is monitored during expiration.
In this event, the ventilator suspends ventilation and switches to a state displayed by
flashing of both GREEN and YELLOW LEDs at the VENTILATE/STANDBY button.
If this occurs; the VENTILATE/STANDBY button must be pressed in order to place the
ventilator in the STANDBY mode which resets the alarm. Remedial action can now be
taken and the VENTILATE mode reselected as appropriate.

5 SETTING TO WORK
The phases of setting the ventilator to work are:-
l Preparatory Phase (5.1 )

l Function Test (5.2)
l Selection of Ventilator Mode (5.3)
l Parameter Input (5.4)
l Ventilate/Standby (5.5)
All phases must be correctly carried out if the ventilator is to operate efficiently.
5.1 Preparatory Phase
This phase includes assembly of the circle system and all hose connections. As far as
the ventilator is concerned, fitting the SIMV flowsensor into the patient connection and
connecting the associated pneumatic lines are of particular importance.
Assembly of the Breathing System

The sequence of assembling patient system components depends on the type of circle
system to be used.
Various options are illustrated in the FALCON OPERATORS MANUAL although the list
is not exhaustive. However, it will be necessary to make the following connections:-
(1) Fit the hose from the Bag-in-Bottle (BIB) to the circle system.
(2) (For SIMV only) -fit the SIMV flowsensor to the connector in the base of the BIB.
(For non-SIMV and SIMV) -fit the patient pressure monitoring line to the connec
tor at the front face of the ventilator (marked Patient).
(3) (For SIMV only) -Fit the SIMV flowsensor twin-tube pneumatic line from the
flowsensor to the 2 marked connectors at the rear panel of the ventilator and also
connect the flowsensor armoured, electrical heater cable to the 2-pin socket at
the rear face.
(4) Fit the reservoir bag to the connector in the base of the BIB.
(5) Proceed with the Function Test (T1 ). (Section 5.2 on ...)

5.2 T1 (Function) Test

5.2.1 Rationale
In the interests of safety, EN 60601-1:1990 requires that no danger to patients, users and
objects may arise when the first fault develops (single-fault condition).
KESTREL is designed purely as a ventilator (without respiration monitor).
Safe operation can only be ensured by the use of an additional monitor which provides inde-
pendent supervision of respiration parameters. The FALCON anaesthesia machine MUST be
provided with a monitor complying with EN740.
EN 60 601-1 requires that safety installations must be duplicated, to prevent a dangerous

situation arising should one system fail.
l One safety system is represented by the presence of the external respiration monitor.
l The second is formed by the monitoring functions of the ventilator.
During the powering-up phase of the ventilator, the T1 Test checks the functionality of the
ventilators integrated safety systems. A functional test of the external monitor then ensures that
both workstation safety systems are operational at the start of anaesthetic ventilation.
5.2.2 Method
The T1 test is divided into two parts. The first part is mandatory and cannot be by-passed. The
second part requires the operator to participate in the test process. The T1 Test starts automati-
cally as soon as the ventilator is switched on. The test checks that all ventilator functions and
safety systems operate correctly before each session of use.
Safe operation of the ventilator is possible only when the T1 Test has been performed
without a fault being detected.
WARNINGS
l The patient must not be connected during the T1 Test
In an emergency, when immediate use of the workstation is required, part of the
T1 Test may be by-passed by using a coded key-operation (1 + 2 + 3). In this case
a complete check of the circle system is not carried out and SIMV is not available.
When the T1 Test has been by-passed the responsibility for safe operation lies
with the operator who must ensure that all apparatus is in an appropriate
condition.

Modes
6.2 VENTILATE I STANDBY Phase:

6.2.1 In the STANDBY phase, the Bag-in Bottle is separated from the circle system
by the pneumatic Bag/Vent switch and is connected to the Reservoir Bag.
By pressing the VENTILATE I STANDBY key, the selected operational phase can be
directly switched on - (as long as all inputs have been confirmed).
l The green LED is lit during VENTILATION.

l The yellow LED is lit during STANDBY- this mode may last indefinitely (it is a
battery charging mode).
STANDBY WARNINGS .
l The visual display bargraph remains active during the STANDBY phase.
l The patient alarms and the machine alarms are turned off during the
STANDBY phase.
l The bellows cannot be filled during the STANDBY phase.
l In STANDBY breathing is either spontaneous or is manually induced using
the reservoir bag
6.2.2 Altering target & limit values during the VENTILATION phase
All parameters, including the high pressure limit, can be altered during VENTILATION.
On pressing the appropriate key, the display for the parameter to be changed starts to
flash and can be changed to the desired value by the rotary control.
During this stage, the ventilator continues working with the existing parameters.
The new parameter is confirmed, <ETR> , by pressing the rotary control or pressing
another key. The current respiratory stroke continues without interruption using the old
values, and the new values become active with the next respiratory stroke.
When parameters are changed during the STANDBY phase, the new values commence
with the first respiratory stroke immediately after switching to VENTILATE.
Switching to a different ventilation mode during ventilator operation can only be

achieved via the STANDBY phase, except IMV and SIMV.
Altering multiple values. It is possible to alter more than one value without the neces-
sity to confirm <ETR> between each change.
CAUTION (MODE SWITCHING)

Individual parameters may change, since operational ranges are defined in different
ways in the various ventilation modes.
(Refer to Sections on opposite page).

Modes
6.2.3 Switching over from (IMV to SIMV) or (SIMV to IMV): (When SIMV is specified)
When switching over from IMV to SIMV, all individual set parameters are copied directly.
In order to optimise SIMV operation (and particularly to ensure a sufficiently long time-
window) appropriate parameters (BPM and I:E) can be altered.
l In order to maintain the same ventilation format as during the previous IMV opera-
tion, then the previously indicated inspiration flow must be maintained.
e.g. If, after switching to SIMV, it is intended to reduce the number of respiration
strokes per minute -while maintaining the existing ventilation pattern, then:-
j Read off the existing inspiration flow value.

k Reduce the SIMV frequency to the desired value. This will cause the inspiration
flow to be reduced in accordance with the frequency set.
l Now reset the displayed inspiration flow to its previous value by reducing I:E ratio.
The inspiratory ventilation pattern is now maintained.
6.2.4 Switching over between PCV and IMV/SIMV: (When SIMV is specified)
When entering the PCV mode; the Breath Pressure and the High Pressure settings will
default to 10 hPa and 20 hPa respectively, regardless of the previous settings.
6.2.5 Switching over between PLV and IMV/SIMV: (When SIMV is specified)
When entering the PLV mode; the Breath Pressure and the High Pressure settings will
default to 10 hPa and 20 hPa respectively, regardless of the previous settings.

7.11 CLEANING AND STERILISING THE SIMV FLOWSENSOR
7.11.1 CLEANING
At regular intervals the SIMV flowsensor should be dissembled and the

stainless-steel mesh examined for cleanliness. (Figure 1 refers).
If necessary, the mesh should be carefully cleaned using a cold sterilising solution
and a non-metallic SOFT BRUSH. (Do not use harsh mechanical cleaning meth
ods).
Alternatively, the mesh may be cleaned with a high liquid flow.
After cleaning, rinse thoroughly in sterile water and dry with hot air
To dissemble the SIMV flow sensor proceed as follows: (Figure 1 refers)
l Remove the flowsensor from the base of the Bag-in-bottle by unscrewing the
retaining halfnut or toggle (10) and pulling the flowsensor from the
Bag-in-bottle connector.
l Remove the double-lumen silicone tubing by unscrewing the 2 plastic luer
connectors from their connections at (08)(09) and disconnect the armoured
heater cable from its plug at (02).
l Unscrew the knurled securing-ring (06) and separate the halves of
the flowsensor.
l Remove the stainless-steel mesh (04) from between the halves.
l Re-assemble in reverse order.
7.11.2 STERILISING
Note: the SIMV flowsensor (complete) must not be autoclaved.

Exposing the SIMV flowsensor to excessively high temperatures can damage the
sensors heating resistance and prevent availability of the SIMV ventilation mode.
All SIMV sensors must, therefore, be cold sterilised and not autoclaved.
The tubing may be autoclaved but the process may be inefficient for small-bore
tubes. If necessary, cold sterilant can be passed through the tubing by means of a
syringe. If this is done it is very important to ensure that the tubing is thoroughly
rinsed in sterile water and dried with warm air before use.
After use with cases of gross infection the double-lumen tubing and the single-lumen
patient-pressure sensor line should be renewed.

can pierce the outer membrane.) Check the rotary control wheel turns freely
and can pressed inwards to operate the switch. Check that the sensor
connectors are secure in the front panel.
l Check the rear panel for damage to the mains power connector and fuse
holders. Check that the correct fuses are fitted and that the warning label is
intact and legible.
l Check the condition of all accessories. (Although the Bag-and Bottle
assembly is part of the anaesthesia machine, it is sensible to include it in the
ventilator checks). Check that the bellows is in good condition and that the
bellows chamber is undamaged and correctly fitted. Test the mechanical
operation of the pressure-limiting valve.
l Check that all tubing is in good condition and does not have kinks, cuts or
crush damage. Pay particular attention to the condition of the tubing
connectors.
l Check the absorber assembly for damage. Ensure that components are
correctly assembled and all connectors are undamaged.
l Examine the APL valve - ensuring that it can be set through its full range.
l Check that all included sensors and adaptors are in good condition and that
their connectors are undamaged. Carefully examine the small-bore sensor
tubing for damage.
l Check that the KESTREL Operators Manual is kept near to the ventilator
and that it is in good condition. Check that it is the latest issue.

8.1.2 Electrical Safety Check
l This should be carried out at the same time as the Electrical Safety Check
for the FALCON anaesthesia machine; of which it is an electrically integral
part.
The check entails testing the continuity of the earthing arrangements and
insulation.
Details for this check are contained in the FALCON MAINTENANCE
MANUAL, Anmedic Tech. Pub. 0041-113 4th Edition 2001.
8.1.3 Functional Safety Check
l First carry out the full T1 TEST, as described in Section 5.2, onwards.
With the T1 Test completed; it is necessary to enter the Calibration Mode
in order to check the ventilator calibration parameters. This mode is
accessed after the ventilator has been switched on and the madatory part
of the T1 test completed. At this point the message Connect Y piece
to T-1 adaptor will appear. The key combination Tidal Vol, BPM and
Insp Flow should be pressed simultaneously in order to access the
calibration mode.
Selecting Calibration Mode
Fit Y piece to T1 adaptor <ETR>
PP + 0,0 SensFlow + 0.5 Freshgas 0,0

The display above will appear on the ventilator with five pieces of active data
that are viewed and adjusted during the calibration (Note that the actual values
will vary from those shown above).
WARNING (Calibration Mode)

The ventilator pressure transducers can be terminally damaged by pressures in excess
of 70 hPa (SIMV version) or 100 hPa (non-SIMV version).
In normal use the microprocessor protects the transducer from excess pressure, but
this safeguard is removed while in the Calibration Mode.
The maximum pressure that can be displayed is 72 hPa (SIMV) or 92 hPa (nonSIMV) -
pressures greater than this can be entered - but WILL NOT BE DISPLAYED.
Extreme care must be taken not to exceed a pressure of 70 hPa (SIMV) or 90 hPa
(non-SIMV) while in the Hardware Compensation Program.

viewed and adjusted during the calibration (Note that the actual values will vary from
those shown above).
l PP Output from transducer P1 measuring Patient Pressure from the T piece
connector normally positioned in the expiration limb of the patient circuit. During
ventilation the output from this transducer is used to display pressure on the
bargraph.
l PBD Output from transducer P2 measuring the Pressure in the Bellows Drive
circuit of the ventilator. This measurement is used for the System Pressure alarm.
l SensFlow Output from the differential transducer P4. The two pressure signals
applied to this transducer are produced in the SIMV flowsensor that is positioned in
the patient circuit at the base of the BiB.
8-5 Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001)

l Offset Two numbers appear in the display that are relative to voltages applied
to the two proportional valves when they are fully closed. The proportional valves
control the flow of drive gas into the ventilator. The drive gas is used to compress
the bellows and deliver a controlled tidal volume to the patient. Each of the propor
tional valves controls a range of flows. The ranges are from 0 to 25 Lpm and 26 to
90 Lpm. Two operational amplifiers are used to drive the valves. If the control
wheel is rotated the message Offset changes to Bellows and a number will appear
that indicates the flow of drive gas in Litres per minute that is being driven into the
bellows chamber. The flowrate that is being driven is calculated from information
from differential transducer P3.
l Freshgas Output from the hot-wire transducer positioned behind the flowtubes
of the anaesthetic machine. This is a combined flow measurement and amplifica
tion device that measure the flow of fresh gas being delivered from the flowmeter
bank. The ventilator receives an electrical signal from the sensor via connector X3
pins 5 and 4.

9.14 SERVICE AND REMOVAL OF THE PEEP AND

EXPIRATION VALVE
Replacement part numbers: see section 9-18
Information:
The Peep valve is attached to the pneumatic manifold block. To gain access to the
Peep valve it is necessary to remove the ventilator from the anaesthesia unit and gain
access to the internal components by removing the lower cover of the ventilator.
The Peep valve is serviced once per year.

The valve has two functions:
To control the level of PEEP in the patient circuit above 3hPa
To control the flow in the patient circuit during expiration.
Special Tools:
A tool suitable for levering that will not damage plastic.
Locate:
PEEP and expiration valve
Procedure (Servicing):
1. Remove the ventilator from the anaesthesia machine in accordance with the in
structions in Section 9.2.
2. Turn the ventilator over and remove the five screws that secure the lower cover.
3. Remove the straddle clip that is secured with two nuts.
4. Move the valve away from the pneumatic block but no further.
The valve has a taper fit and will normally require some force to dislodge it.
Be extremely careful and ensure the plastic is not damaged. A slight twisting
action can help with removing the valve.
5. Detach the front plastic section from the motor drive. The plastic section is re
moved by twisting the two parts counter clockwise for approximately 1/3 of a turn.
The fitting is of the bayonet type.
6. Remove the silicone membrane from the plastic section taking note of how it is
fitted.
7. Fit a new membrane.
8. Refit the plastic section.
Note that there are three lugs that engage on the motor section. One of
these is larger than the other two. Ensure that it is fitted in the correct posi-
tion.
9. Refit the valve into the pneumatic block ensuring the hose connection is lying as
flat as possible. Ensure the taper is engaged so a gas tight seal is created.
10. Refit the saddle clamp and the two nuts. Do not over-tighten the saddle clamp nuts
as damage to the valve can result.
9-19 Tech Pub. 0041-130 3rd Ed. (2001)

9.14 (continued)
Procedure (Removal):
Locate:
Connector X4 pins 9 (+ve) and 10 (-ve) PEEP valve
1. With ventilator removed from the anaesthesia machine, remove both the upper
and lower covers of the ventilator.
2. Locate connector X4 pins 9 and 10. Remove the two wires and feed the wires
through the chassis towards the valve.
3. Remove the two nuts that secure the saddle clamp.
4. Move the valve away from the pneumatic block
This may require some force as the fitting is a taper. If you use a lever
ensure no damage occurs to the plastic part of the valve. A twisting motion
may help the removal.
5. Remove the 22mm hose from the plastic section of the valve.
6. Remove the valve from the ventilator.
Refitting:
Refitting is carried out by following the above instructions in reverse.
Testing:
Once the valve has been successfully fitted, the ventilator must be refitted to the
anaesthesia machine with the top cover still removed.
1. Calibrate the ventilator (see Calibration section)
2. Run a T1 test.
3. Run the ventilator (using a suitable test lung) and input various PEEP values.
With each value that is set ensure that the PEEP pressure displayed on the bar
graph is correct within +/- 1 hPa after 2 breaths.
4. Refit the top cover of the ventilator.
5. Prepare the ventilator and anaesthesia machine (in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions) so that it is ready for clinical use.

9.16 REPLACING SILICONE TUBING
WARNING
When fitting tubing to push-on connectors it is important not to grip the tubing so
tightly that the tubing is crushed and occluded. The pressure generated by pushing a
dead-ended tube onto a pressure transducer can easily destroy the transducer.
CAUTION
The silicone tubing set provided is sufficient to re-tube one ventilator. It is very important that
the tubes are not crossed during replacement and that the connections are correctly made.
It is recommended that before the original tubes are removed, each end of the same tube is
marked so that the lines can be traced from connection to connection.
Procedure:
With the ventilator removed from the anaesthesia machine as described in
Section 9.2; and the ventilator case removed:
Refer to Diagrams - Tubing Connections.
1. Prepare the tubes for removal by first using a soft, lead pencil to mark the opposite
ends of the same tube. Take care not to cross tubes when marking the ends of the
double-lumen set.
2. Using a soft, lead pencil, carefully mark the ends of the replacement tubes. Take
great care not to press too hard on the tubing because it is very soft and the ends
must not be damaged.
3. Working one tube at a time, remove the tube and fit the replacement tube(s).
4. Recheck the newly installed tubes to ensure that the connections are good and
that the tubes run smoothly without sharp bends or kinks.
5. Replace the cover; refit the ventilator to the anaesthesia machine and carry
out the T1 Test.
