Avance Gas supplies Pressurized gas supplies enter the system through a pipeline or cylinder connection. All connections have indexed fittings, filters, and check valves. A regulator decreases the cylinder pressures to the appropriate system pressure. A pressure relief valve helps protect the system from high pressures.
11 Specifications and theory of operation EZchange canister When activated, this mode permits continued ventilation and rebreathing of exhaled gases without any gas passing through the absorbent. Condenser The condenser removes water in the system that is produced from the reaction of CO2 gas with the absorbent. When fresh gas flow settings of less than the patient minute volume are used during ventilation, the amount of re-breathed gas increases.

Avance Ventilator theory The ventilator pneumatics are at the rear of the breathing system. A precision valve controls gas flow to the patient. During inspiration, this gas flow closes the exhalation valve and pushes the bellows down. During expiration, a small flow pressurizes the exhalation diaphragm to supply PEEP pressure.
11 Specifications and theory of operation O2 monitoring theory O2 monitoring measures O2 concentration in the patient circuit. The of operation O2 concentration measured from the O2 cell is shown on the ventilator display. The O2 cell is an electrochemical device (galvanic cell). Oxygen diffuses through a membrane into the cell and oxidizes a base metal electrode.
Page 180
Avance Volume control mode Volume control supplies a set tidal volume. The ventilator calculates a flow based on the set tidal volume and the length of the inspiratory time (TI) to deliver that tidal volume. It then adjusts that output by measuring delivered volumes at the flow sensors.
Page 181
11 Specifications and theory of operation Pressure control mode Pressure control supplies a constant set pressure during inspiration. The ventilator calculates the inspiratory time from the frequency and I:E ratio settings. A high initial flow pressurizes the circuit to the set inspiratory pressure.
Page 182
Avance SIMV/PSV mode Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation/Pressure Support is a mode in which periodic volume breaths are delivered to the patient at preset intervals (time-triggered). Between the machine delivered breaths, the patient can breathe spontaneously at the rate, tidal volume and timing that the patient desires.
Page 183
11 Specifications and theory of operation PSVPro mode PSVPro is pressure supported ventilation with apnea backup. PSVPro is a spontaneous mode of ventilation that provides a constant support pressure once the ventilator senses that the patient has made an inspiratory effort. In this mode, the clinician sets the Pressure Support (Psupport) and PEEP levels.

Page 185
11 Specifications and theory of operation SIMV-PC mode Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation, Pressure Control is a mode in which a relatively slow mandatory breathing rate is set with pressure-controlled breathing. This mode combines mandatory breaths with spontaneous breath support. If a trigger event occurs within the synchronization window, a new pressure-controlled breath is initiated.
Page 186
Avance PCV-VG mode In PCV-VG, a tidal volume is set and the ventilator delivers that volume using a decelerating flow and a constant pressure. The ventilator will adjust the inspiratory pressure needed to deliver the set tidal volume breath-by-breath so that the lowest pressure is used.
Page 187
11 Specifications and theory of operation CPAP/PSV mode Constant positive airway pressure/pressure support ventilation mode mode is used on spontaneously breathing patients. This mode of ventilation provides a constant support pressure once the ventilator senses that the patient has made an inspiratory effort. In this mode, the clinician sets the Pressure Support (Psupport) and PEEP levels.
