Gas Supplies 8. Pressure Relief Valve 22. Pressure switch O2 pipeline supply inlet Pressure sampling tube for O2 supply gas pressure gauge The above picture shows the O2 pipeline supply inlet assembly. The anesthesia machine’s pneumatic circuit starts from the gas supplies, which function to introduce the external pipeline or cylinder gases into the machine.
Page 34
System Switch Assembly O2 goes into the system switch (24); and flows into the needle valve. The system switch has an electrical outlet that controls the power-on status of the system. When the system switch is turned on, O2 enters the needle valve and the system is powered on simultaneously. The anesthetic ventilator starts to monitor the status of the system.
Page 35
Flow Display Assembly The electronic flowmeter (26) and total flow meter (50) constitute the flow display assembly. Gases from the flow adjust and control assembly and mixed gas going through the anesthetic agent delivery device (vaporizer) are outputted. The electronic flowmeter (26) measures and displays the flow of each gas.

The following figure shows the operational theory of the AGSS. The throttling holes reduce the effect of negative pressure at the AGSS outlet onto the flow at the entrance. The float helps the user determine if the disposal system meets the requirement for the minimum pump rate.
The A3 anesthesia system has three 125V 15A Hospital Grade auxiliary outlets. Each outlet has one 250V 3A breaker. The A5 anesthesia system has four 125V 15A Hospital Grade auxiliary outlets. Each outlet has one 250V 3A breaker. Additionally, a main breaker limits the combined current of the four outlets to 10A.
Flow Meter Lighting Control Signal 1.5 The Breathing System 1.5.1 Brief Introduction The A5/A3 Breathing System supports three types of operational modes: mechanical ventilation, manual ventilation, and standby. These modes allow the operator to apply proper ventilation strategy based on the patient’s needs.
1.5.2 Automatic Mode, Inspiration When the Auto/Manual switch is positioned at Auto, the system closes the manual ventilation path. Drive gas pushes down on the bellows. Gas flows from the bellows, through the CO2 absorber canister, and through the inspiratory check valve to the patient. During inspiration, fresh gas flows into the inspiratory limb, upstream of the inspiratory check valve.
1.5.3 Automatic Mode, Expiration When the Auto/Manual switch is set to Auto, the system closes the manual ventilation path. Drive-gas flow stops and the exhaust valve opens. Exhaled gas flows from the patient, through the expiratory check valve, and into the bellows. Residual drive gas flows out of the bellows dome through the exhaust valve to the scavenging system (AGSS).
1.5.4 Manual Mode, Inspiration When the Auto/Manual switch is set to Manual, the system closes the Auto ventilation path. Gas flows from the breathing bag when compressed, through the CO2 absorber canister, into the breathing circuit, and through the inspiratory check valve to the patient. During inspiration, fresh gas flows from the machine into the inspiratory limb, upstream of the inspiratory check valve.
1.5.5 Manual Mode, Expiration When the Auto/Manual switch is set to Manual, the system closes the Auto ventilation path. Gas flows from the patient, through the expiratory check valve, and into the breathing bag. During exhalation, fresh gas enters the Breathing System. Residual fresh gas passes through the APL valve to the AGSS.
1.5.8 Breathing System Components 1.5.8.1 Ventilation Bellows System The ventilator's driving system is a flow generator. Driving gas fills the bellows dome to compress the bellows. The breathing gas is pressed out of the bellows into the patient breathing circuit. The bellows is refilled with fresh gas and the expired gas from the patient. 1.5.8.2 Manual Breathing Bag In manual mode, this device acts as a normal breathing bag, enabling the user to ventilate the patient manually.

5.4 Sensors and Valves Problems To use Diagnostic Tests to troubleshoot the sensors or valves related failures, you must be familiar with the one-to-one correspondence between the menu options on the Diagnostic Tests screen and the actual pneumatic circuit and hardware components. 5.4.1 Correspondence with Pneumatic Circuit Components The following figure shows the one-to-one correspondence between the sensors &...
5.4.2 Correspondence with Hardware Components The following figure shows how the sampling lines of the sensors are actually connected on the ventilator control board. 5.4.3 Preparations before Using Diagnostic Tests Make the following preparations before using the valves-test tool to locate the valves or sensors related failures: Connect the pneumatic circuit according to the type of sensor or valve to be checked.
Check the A/D counts of the sensors in the valve-test tool menu, which are the zero points of the sensors. If the zero point of one sensor is outside of specifications, it indicates that the ventilator control board is defective. You need to replace the board. You can also detect the zero points of the sensors by referring to 3.7.3 Check the Sensor Zero Point.
With the gradual increase of actual flow, the measured value of the flow sensor should also increase. Otherwise, the calibration data have errors. You need to calibrate the flow sensor again. Compared with the measured value of the standard flow measurement device (anesthesia machine calibration device), the measured value of the flow sensor should be accurate.
Page 308
If the A/D value of one sensor remains unchanged, it is possible that the sampling line of the sensor is not connected. The pressure of the airway pressure gauge should increase. If not, it is possible that the airway pressure gauge is defective. If sampling line connection errors are detected, re-connect the sampling lines and verify proper connection of all lines.
5.4.7 Opening State of the Inspiratory Valve Problems By using [Diagnostic Tests], you can detect if the opening state of the inspiratory valve is correct. The methods for tube connections and settings of the anesthesia machine are the same as those for sampling line connections of the flow sensors.
Switch off the PEEP safety valve. The pressure measured by the PEEP pressure sensor should drop to 0 cmH2O immediately. Switch on the PEEP safety valve again. The measured value of the PEEP pressure sensor rapidly restores almost the same value to that before PEEP safety valve is switched off.
