1-1
WARNING
<Qualifications required>
This device is for use by “qualified personnel”

<Carefully read the attached text>


Carefully read the instruction manuals and dedicated appended
materials for this device and related equipment such as vaporizers
and start use only after fully understanding those materials

<Electromagnetic noise>
Do not use devices such as cell phones and radios in the
same room where this device is used
(Electromagnetic interference could cause faulty operation affecting the life of the
patient.)

Data output cable must be shorter than 3 meters


(Connecting a data output cable longer than the specified length to external equipment
may cause problems such as external noise or unexpected malfunctions to occur.)

<Making connections & attachments>


Confirm that the power cable is clamped with cable lock
hardware
(If not clamped with a cable lock, the power to the main unit will be cut off if the cable
comes loose or is disconnected.)

Check that the joint cap is connected


(Check that the joint cap is securely connected to the gas outlet. If no junction cap was
connected then fresh gas is not being supplied to the respiratory circuit. Use caution
since this could lead to accidents involving the life of the patient.)

<Monitor installation>
Joint usage with monitor
(Use monitors jointly with pulse oximeters alarms, capnometer alarms, or anesthesia
gas monitors capable of independently warning of patient abnormalities such as when
the ventilator has stopped or the respiratory circuit is disconnected, etc.)

Be sure to use an O2 concentration meter


(If the O2 sensor has poor performance or is defective and a substitute O2 sensor is
not available, then use another O2 concentration meter as specified in JIS T 7203.)
* Using the anesthesia apparatus as is, without an O2 concentration meter will cause
problems with monitoring the patient.

Fasten devices on the monitor shelf with straps to prevent


them from falling
(Dropped equipment could cause major problems with patient observation.)

1-2
<Gas cylinders>
Shut the support cylinder valve if using gas from the in-
hospital gas supply pipe
(If the support cylinder valve is left open, the gas will be used up and no longer
available for emergencies.)

Take adequate precautions against “residual gas” in the


support cylinder

Close the valve after using the support cylinder


(If the valves on the support cylinders are left open then the gas will be used up and
no longer available for emergency use!)

<Usage environment & conditions>


Check the output waveform when using a power supply device
(If using an uninterruptible power supply device such UPS 、 DC/AC inverter or
generator and so on check that its output is a sine wave output.)

<Caution items involving usage methods>


If the concentration adjuster dial on the vaporizer mounted
in the unit rotated during use of the injection vaporizer then
immediately stop usage
(Safety device built into the vaporizer mounting stand is defective. Promptly request a
repair from the manufacturer.)

If the injection vaporizer “operates” during vaporizer use


then stop operation immediately
(The safety device in the main unit is defective. Promptly request a repair from the
manufacturer.)

Check that the vaporizer is securely clamped


(Anesthesia gas leaks might occur if not fully clamped in place.)

During use keep the power plug connected and leave the
power switch “ON” all the time
(“Turning off” the power switch during device use will cut off the power without
switching to battery operation. This is hazardous since all functions such as monitor
display, ventilator, injection vaporizer, O2 concentration meter, alarm devices and
safety device will cease to operate. Charging the battery is also impossible.)
* Also leave the power switch “ON” for both “BAG mode” and “VENT mode”.

Handle gently and carefully


(Be careful not to warp or deform the bellow when inserting it inside the bellows unit. If
the bellows is warped, the unit will not deliver the preset vent volume. A warped
bellow might also lead to accidents.)

1-3
Do not pull on the O2 sensor cable
(Do not pull forcefully on the unit cable when calibrating the O 2 sensor unit. This may
cause wire breakage or disconnections within the cable or connector wiring. Broken
or disconnected wiring will prevent correct measurement.)

Keep water or chemicals away from the unit


(This device is not water-proof or drip-proof so fluid or liquids might penetrate into the
unit and stop operation.)

Set both the low inspiratory pressure alarm level and excess
pressure alarm level to a value near the maximum inspiratory
pressure
●Setting the low intake pressure too low will prevent the alarms from operating even if
there is a leak from the respiratory circuit.
●Setting the excess pressure too high might cause pressure damage to the lungs.

The alarm volume involves patient safety so set loud


enough to easily hear
(At a low setting the alarm might not be heard due to ambient noise.)

Be aware of the N2O flow rate (non-attached interlocking


gear:option when shipped from factory)
(This device does not have an interlock mechanism for mechanically regulating the
N2O flow. Therefore, when O2 flows at “0.1L/minute” or more, then N2O can also be
supplied. However the flow rate alarm will activate when the O 2 flow is higher than a
specified ratio.)

Be aware of flow rate ratio setting errors when using O2 and


air
(This device has no interlock function to mechanically control the air flow rate. So the
wrong flow ratio could cause hypoexemia.)

<Measures to take during breakdowns and abnormalities>


When the overcurrent safety breaker trips, don’t try to
“reset” it. Instead ask for a repair and inspection
(If the overcurrent safety breaker trips, then some type of problem may have occurred
in the main unit. Don’t reset it but instead ask your dealer or ACOMA customer
support representative for a repair and inspection.)

Turn off the power switch and remove the power plug when
disconnecting the AC power supply (commercial) due to an
abnormal state
(Immediately stop use if high temperatures, smoke, abnormal odors/sounds or faulty
operation occur and set the power switch to “OFF” and remove the plug from the
socket. Continuing to use as is may cause fires, electrical shocks and breakdowns.
Do not place devices such as ME in locations that might interfere with operation.)

1-4
PROHIBITED
<Usage environment & conditions>
Do not use in areas near flammable gas
(This unit is not an explosion-proof design so sparks may create a hazardous situation
near inflammable gas.)

To prevent fires and so on in sections in contact with O2 do


not allow near oil, flames and inflammable objects

Leaving open and unsealed CO2 absorbent and leaving


fresh gas (mainly O2) supplied to the recirculating respirator
circuit will prevent the CO2 absorbent from drying
(Jointly using inhalant anesthetic along with CO2 absorbent that has lost its moisture
may cause fires, abnormal heat emission, CO emission or a possible loss of CO2
absorbance capability).

Do not use in a state where there is a problem or


malfunction

Do not dismantle or modify


(This might cause fires, electrical shocks and equipment breakdowns.)

Do not scratch or damage the power cable


(Don’t forcibly pull, bend, or tramp on the cable. Using a damaged cable could cause
fire or electrical shocks.)

Do not use benzene or thinner, etc.


(Don’t use benzene or thinner for cleaning the intake or exhaust valves or main unit
(operation unit, monitors, etc.) This might cause damage.)

Don’t let the cable of an electrical scalpel or similar item


come in contact with the main unit
(External noise could cause malfunctions (unit running out of control, etc.))

Do not attach unauthorized parts to the side rail


(Attaching unplanned items might cause it to topple over.)

<Interactive effects>
Don’t use other than our company-supplied products with
the Jackson Rees
(Combined use with other company’s products might cause connection problems
possibly resulting in inadequate ventilation.)

1-5
Don’t use other than our company products along with the
supply gas pressure tube
(Using other than our company-supplied products might prevent normal operation of
the device.)

<Electromagnetic noise>
Avoid jointly using with an MRI

<Making connections & attachments>


Do not attempt to reuse products that were discarded
(Doing so might cause infection or gas leaks due to cracks, holes, and disconnections
from couplings that have become loose.)
* Dispose of safely and correctly to prevent contamination and infection.

Avoid joint use with items that cannot maintain a secure


connection

Avoid joint use that might cause blockages connections,


etc.

Avoid joint use with items that cannot be easily


disconnected

Do not directly touch CO2 absorbent material


(This is an alkaline material so if mistakenly touched, wash thoroughly with large
quantities of “tap water”.)

Do not fill above a fixed quantity


(When replacing or refilling the CO2 absorbent do not fill higher than the “no higher
than this line” mark seen inside the chamber. Overfilling may cause problems such
as uneven gas exchange or prevent a proper fit in the container.)

<Operation & adjustments>


Do not continue operation using incorrect alarm settings
(This prevents obtaining a correct Vti and rate, etc.)

Don’t change the flow rates during “calibration”


(Changing the applicable flow rates of a gas during flow rate sensor calibration will
make it impossible to perform correct calibration. It will cause errors in injection
vaporization unit concentrations and prevent the flow rate ratio alarm from operating
correctly.)

Do not remove just the anesthesia bottle


(Do not remove just the anesthesia bottle with the bottle adapter still attached to the
main unit, Doing this will cause air to enter the device piping and activate the empty
bottle alarm.)

1-6
Do not use if calibration of the flow rate sensor failed
(An incorrectly calibrated flow rate sensor will cause errors in the injection
vaporizer concentration and the flow rate ratio alarm will not function correctly.)

Do not pull on the control cable


(Don’t apply heavy force when pulling or bending the control cable. This could damage
the cable and cause problems with ventilator control or vent flow display.)

Don’t calibrate the flow rate sensors while using this device
(The alarms, flow gauges, and injection vaporizer cannot be used in calibration mode.)

Don’t take your eyes off the circuit pressure gauge


(If the circuit is normal no leaks will appear in the respiratory circuit leak test so the
internal pressure gauge will break if the test is left to run on its own.)

CAUTION
<Usage environment & conditions>
Maintain each gas at a rated supply range between “350 to
500kPa”

<Making connections & attachments>


Connect the power plug to a 3-pin medical outlet (socket)
(Connect to a 3-pin medical treatment outlet (socket) to prevent electrical shocks.)

Connect securely
●Securely connect the canister chamber, drain cap, and respiratory bag, etc. No alarm
is given if any of these are poorly connected. If not fully connected then anesthesia
gas might contaminate the room interior.
●Measurements and control of the ventilator might be impossible if the cable
connector is not attached or installation is incomplete.

Attach correctly
(Check for any CO2 absorbent caught between one chamber and another, the
chamber and top lid (or bottom lid). Poor attachment might cause gas leaks.)

Insert plugs securely into unused gas pocket ports


(If not plugged then anesthesia gas might contaminate the room interior.)

1-7
If the yoke plug was removed, then store it to prevent losing
or misplacing it

Discharge the gas before installing the Aux. cylinder


(Before installing the support cylinder, discharge the gas “once or twice” at intervals to
remove grit and debris. Debris or grit that adheres to the port openings/couplings can
be the cause of breakdowns.)

Don’t lose the cap or other parts


(Losing the joint cap will prevent use of this device. Be cautious when handling during
use with open circuits, etc.)

Replace the bacteria filters with new ones


(To prevent cross-infection, use new bacteria filters at the intake and exhaust ports for
patient.)
* Read the attached specialist materials to find appropriate usage methods.

Store any removed wiring hole caps to prevent losing them

<Inspections & checks>


Make the operating check while following the “Before-
During-After-Use inspection items”
(Make each prep check & pre-use operating check, in-use operating check, and after-
use operating check according to the inspection tables. This is extremely important
for ensuring correct machine operation and safety the next time the equipment is
used.)
* See Chapter 15.

If the power failure alarm activates, check the remaining


power on the internal battery
(Always check the power outage alarm and the remaining internal battery power
before using the battery.)

Check alarm operation conditions


(The ALARM OFF function does not automatically cancel alarms. Turning off an alarm
requires operation according to cancel methods in the manual.)

Be aware of the anesthesia gas level


(The bottle adapter cannot be removed to replace the anesthesia bottle unless a
series of actions are completed. A maximum of about “1 minute” is required.)
* Make sure the anesthesia bottle is full before using it.

Connect the respiratory circuit to the patent AFTER first


making the “leak test”

1-8
<Operation & adjustments>
Injection vaporizer automatically stops in “1 hour” if there is
no O2 flow (“0.1 L/minute” or less)
* If using only air in the injection vaporizer then the injection vaporizer will “stop” after
“1 hour”.
* Holding down the injection vaporizer start/stop button for “3 seconds” or more sets it
to “start” again.

Backup time with a fully charged internal battery is “30


minutes”
* Battery charging requires at least “20 hours” or more.

Wait a while before turning on the power again


(In unusual cases, the equipment might not start up normally if the power is turned on
again immediately, It might also lead to equipment breakdowns. After turning “OFF”
the power, wait at least 5 seconds or more before turning the power back “ON”
again.)

“Recalibrate” after replacing a sensor unit


(After dismantling the O2 sensor unit into the main section and sensor unit, replace the
sensor unit. After reassembling it into the O2 sensor unit, leave for “1 minute” or more
in the outside air, and shake gently “2 or 3 times”.)

Place the O2 sensor unit in the outside air and after shaking
gently “2 or 3 times”, recalibrate
(Leave the O2 sensor unit in the outside air for “1 minute” or longer and after gently
shaking “2 or 3 times”, calibrate it.)
* Calibrating without shaking and in other than the outside air will cause display of the
wrong O2 concentration.

When shaking the O2 sensor, pick a wide space free of


surrounding obstructions
(Dropping it or apply strong impacts from striking it on something might damage the O2
sensor unit.)

Be aware of “flow rate setting” errors


(The flow rate setting affects injection vaporizer performance. Make periodic checks and
calibrate as needed.)

The injection vaporizer cannot “start” if the vaporizer


concentration dial is “OFF”

Turn the handle firmly


(Check that the chamber is fully clamped by the chamber attach-release handle. Gas
leakage might occur if it is not completely turned.)

1-9
Support the canister securely when pressing the release
button
(Securely support the canister when pressing the release button for raising-lowering the
canister. If not fully supported, it might pinch the fingers when the button is pressed.)

Carefully switch the BAG-VENT selector


(On the operation status display of the monitor, the background color is light blue when
switched to BAG and light green when switched to VENT.)

Always discharge water accumulated within the respiratory circuit


(Water that continues to accumulate might affect the PEEP. Pooled water can be
checked from the small window in the canister so always be sure to get rid of
accumulated water.)

Use caution to prevent accumulated “trace gases”


(In closed circulating anesthesia circuits & extremely low flow rate anesthesia (fresh
gas flow less than 1.0L/minute) carbon monoxide, acetone, ethanol, nitrogen, and
anesthesia metabolic products might accumulate within the circuit used by the
patient.)
* Wash away gas accumulated in the patient’s circuit at regular intervals by “O2
flushing” or other methods to “increase the fresh gas flow”.

Use caution to prevent accumulated water or fluids


(Large amounts of water or fluid might accumulate within the patient circuit due to low
“fresh gas flow” or “anesthesia at low flow rates for long periods”. So depending on the
extent of the accumulation remove the circuit and empty the water or fluids.)

Scavenging surplus anesthetic gas to be in a range “from 15


to 30 L/min”

If using an anesthesia gas monitor then connect it with a


tube, etc
(Connect a tube between the anesthesia gas monitor being used and this monitor
excess gas suction inlet. If the connection is faulty or incomplete then anesthesia gas
might leak and contaminate the room interior.)

In the case of anesthesia at a low flow rate, be aware of the


sampling gas flow on the monitor device (it is equivalent to
a circuit leak)

Check the setting values if the anesthesia gas concentration


was changed
(The setting value might not always change even if the anesthesia gas concentration
dial was turned. If the setting was changed then check that the value shown on the
anesthesia gas conc. indicator is the required value.)

Take correct action as needed


(If an operational message appears on the control panel, check the message on the
display, and make an accurate and correct response.)

1-10
<Caution items involving usage methods>
Check the “vent conditions” for the ventilator before
shifting to “VENT mode”
(Before shifting to “VENT mode”, check the “vent conditions” of the ventilator and the
flip the BAG-VENT selector.)

Replace the CO2 absorbent promptly


(Replace CO2 absorbent at an early stage since it is rapidly consumed in closed
circulating anesthesia circuits, and by low flow rate anesthesia.)

Always “stop” the injection vaporizer after use


(Allowing the “operating” state to continue as is for long periods will cause bubbles in
the unit internal piping and might affect operation the next time used!)

<Action in response to breakdowns and abnormal conditions>


During an “abnormality” quickly stop operation and replace
with properly working anesthetic equipment
(Remove the power plug of the broken unit from the power socket.)

If a breakdown occurs, clearly display that information, and


quickly ask for a repair

If the power failure alarm does not operate then have the
system promptly repaired or overhauled

<Replacement>
Replace with a new battery if the battery operating time
drops sharply or otherwise replace every “2 years”
(The battery wears down over the passage of time so periodically replace it with a
new battery.)
* Battery life is approximately “2 years”.
Contact the manufacturer if replacement is required.

Use parts supplied from the manufacture during parts


replacement
(Using a substitute items will cause breakdowns.)

<Handling after use>


Dispose of properly
●Properly dispose of consumables, residual items, and accessories as medical waste
products.
●When disposing the main unit of this device, comply with the regulations and
ordinances of regional civic bodies. Consult the regional civic bodies for detailed
information on pertinent legal regulations and ordinances.

* Disposing by illegal means will not only cause serious societal effects such as
environmental pollution and infection but also carries penalties so consider carefully
what action to take.

1-11
Empty water from the drain cup each time it accumulates

ATTACH THE YOKE PLUG


(Attach the yoke plug after removing the aux cylinder.
Unless the yoke plug is attached, dirt and dust will adhere to the cylinder port and
cause breakdowns.)

Mounting the caps


(After removing the other company’s vaporizer, mount the wiring hole caps. These will
prevent breakdowns due to penetration of moisture, etc.)

Dismantle in order to sterilize & disinfect


(Remove the intake valve, exhaust valve, canister drain cup, and bellows unit, etc.
Remove at all possible locations and carry out sterilizing and disinfection.)

Securely mount the dome caps O-rings into the “O-ring


grooves” on the intake & exhaust valves
(A non-attached or incompletely attached dome cap O-ring can be the cause of gas
leaks.)

If not using for extended periods of time then remove the


power plug cable from the socket

Grip by the plug when removing the power cable


(Pulling it out by gripping the cable will damage the cable and cause trouble such as
fire or electrical shocks.)

During cleaning and inspections, always “turn off” the


power supply and remove the power plug from the socket

Use a soft cloth or similar item during cleaning


(Using chemicals such as benzene or thinner on the main operation panel may cause
warping or damage.)

<Periodic inspections & overhauls>


Make sure the device receives periodic inspections and
overhauls
(To maintain performance make sure the device receives periodic inspections “once a
year” or every “1,000 hours”.)
* Have an overhaul performed “once every 5 years” or every “5,000 hours”.

A01: APL valve (pop-off valve)


This valve adjusts the flow of gas discharged within the circuit. Turning the knob fully
“clockwise” closes the valve, and gas cannot be discharged from within the circuit.
However, turning “counterclockwise” opens the valve and gas within the circuit can be easily
discharged. APL valves manufactured by other companies and available as an option prior to
shipment can also be installed.

3-1
A02: Breathing bag coupling
Connect the respiratory bag (3 liters).

Connect it securely
CAUTION (If it should come loose no alarm is given to announce the problem. If the

A03: CO2 absorbent device (canister)


This contains CO2 absorbent inside a chamber that absorbs the CO2 discharging from the
patient.
It contains a total of 1,340mL (1,200 g) of CO2 absorbent.

PROHIBITED Leaving open and unsealed CO2 absorbent and leaving


fresh gas (mainly O2) supplied to the recirculating
respirator circuit will prevent the CO2 absorbent from
drying
(Jointly using inhalant anesthetic along with CO2 absorbent that has lost its
moisture may cause fires, abnormal heat emission, CO emission or a
possible loss of CO2 absorbance capability.)

PROHIBITED
Do not fill above a fixed quantity
(When replacing or refilling the CO2 absorbent do not fill higher than the “no
higher than this line” mark seen inside the chamber. Overfilling may cause
problems such as uneven gas exchange or prevent a proper fit in the
container.)

Connect it securely
CAUTION (If it should come loose no alarm is given to announce the problem. If the
connection is faulty or incomplete then anesthesia gas might leak and
contaminate the room interior.)

Attach correctly
CAUTION (Check for any CO2 absorbent caught between one chamber and another, the
chamber and top lid (or bottom lid). Poor attachment might cause gas leaks.)

The amount of time the CO2 absorbent is usable varies with usage conditions

PROHIBITED
fresh gas (mainly O2) supplied to the recirculating
respirator circuit will prevent the CO2 absorbent from
drying
(Jointly using inhalant anesthetic along with CO2 absorbent that has lost its
moisture may cause fires, abnormal heat emission, carbon monoxide
emission or a possible loss of CO2 absorbance capability.)

Do not directly touch CO2 absorbent material


PROHIBITED
(This is an alkaline material so if mistakenly touched, wash thoroughly with
large quantities of “tap water”.)

Do not fill above a fixed quantity


PROHIBITED (When replacing or refilling the CO absorbent do not fill higher than the “no
2
higher than this line” mark seen inside the chamber. Overfilling may cause
problems such as uneven gas exchange or prevent a proper fit in the
container.)

Attach correctly
CAUTION (Check for any CO2 absorbent caught between one chamber and another, the
chamber and top lid (or bottom lid). Poor attachment might cause gas leaks.)

4-7
Turn the handle firmly
CAUTION
(Check that the chamber is fully clamped by the chamber attach-release
handle. Gas leakage might occur if it is not completely turned.)

Empty water from the drain cup each time it


CAUTION
accumulates

NOTE The amount of time the CO2 absorbent is usable varies with usage conditions
(“fresh gas flow” and “vent flow”). So we recommend replacement with new
absorbent after a “10 hours” usage time as a general guide.

off (the N2O shut off device operates).
(2-4) Check that the alarm (whistle) sounds when the O2 Pressure tube is attached and that the N2O
flows.
(3) N2O cutoff (when there is no interlock gear)
(3-1) Check that in a state where no O2 flows (“0.1L/minute” or less) there is also no N2O flow even if
the N2O flow adjustor knob is turned “counterclockwise”.
(3-2) Check that when the O2 is “0.1L/minute” or less that the flow of N2O is shut off.
a) Start the O2 flowing at “0.1L/minute” or more and the N2O flowing as well.
b) Check that when the O2 is set to less than “0.1L/minute”, the safety equipment activates: to
display a flow gas ratio alarm, to sound an alarm, and to shut the N2O shut off in sequence on
the monitor panel on the control box.

[5] Check the O2 flush


The O2 flush must function correctly.
* If an anesthesia mask is connected to the tip of the Y piece of the respirator circuit set (coil hose
set) then remove that mask and insert the Y piece tip into the test adapter in the upper part of the
relief valve on the upper section of the canister to seal it.
(1) Set the BAG-VENT Selector cock to “BAG”.
(2) Close the APL valve.
(3) Press the O2 flush button.

At a pressure level of “30 hPa”, the drop in pressure when the supply of gas was stopped
(flow rate of zero) for a “30 second period” shall be lower than “5 hPa”.
The following method complies with the “Anesthesia apparatus startup inspection” issued by the
Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists.
* This “Anesthesia apparatus startup inspection” can be viewed on the homepage of the Japanese
Society of Anesthesiologists (http://www.anesth.or.jp/safety/guideline.html)
(1) General method
a) Insert the tip of the Y piece attached to the Y piece

respiratory circuit into the test adapter of Relief valve

the relief valve on the upper section of the


Circuit pressure
canister to seal it. If an anesthesia mask is gauge
connected to the Y piece tip then remove it.

b) Close the APL valve. port
APLvalve
c) Open the O2 flow adjuster knob and set the
O2 flow to “5L/minute”. Close the other Flow
rate control knobs.
d) Allow the breathing bag to swell up to a
pressure level of “30 hPa”.
e) Apply pressure to the breathing bag by expiratory port

hand, setting to a pressure of “40 to 50


hPa”.
Leaks and poor couplings can be detected
at this time if the following occurs.
・The pressure will drop at this time if there
is a large leak.
・The coupling will come off at this time if Breathing bag
[Fig.6-12]
loose.
f) Release your handhold on the breathing bag, returning the pressure to “30h Pa”.
g) Set the O2 flow rate to “0L/minute”, and let stand for about a “30 seconds” period. Check that the
pressure drop is less than “5hPa” or less,
* In some cases, the pressure may be higher than a specified figure or show no rise due to the
state of the breathing bag (drop in elasticity from deterioration, etc.).
(2) Testing for leakage with a low flow rate
a) Close the APL valve.
b) Connect the Y piece tip of the respiratory circuit to the connection port on the breathing bag
with a hose.
* No special hose is supplied with the unit so please utilize an available hose for the test.
c) Open the O2 flow rate adjuster knob and set the flow to “0.1 L/minute”. Close the other flow
adjuster knobs at this time.
d) Check that the needle on the Circuit pressure gauge is “30 hPa” or more.

6-6
Don’t take your eyes off the circuit internal pressure gauge
PROHIBITED
(If the circuit is normal no leaks will appear in the respiratory circuit leak test so
the internal pressure gauge will break if the test is left to run on its own.)

e) After confirming the status in d), quickly restore the O2 flow rate to “0L/minute”. This test allows
judging that at a pressure of “30hPa” any leaks from the flow rate adjuster valve throughout the
entire respiratory circuit are less than “0.1L/minute”.
* However, the method in (2) alone cannot detect leaks in the breathing bag itself or the resp bag
coupling so use it along with the method in (1).
f) When the test is finished, restore the connections to the state prior to the inspection.
* Large leakage can cause break or coupling defects in plastic portions of the respiratory circuit,
deterioration of the intake valves and canister chamber packing or constriction of the CO2
absorbent.

Connect the respiratory circuit to the patent AFTER


CAUTION first making “the leak test”

[7] Checking the O2 concentration meter and calibrating the O2 sensor


Checking the O2 concentration meter
Check that numerals are displayed on the O2 concentration display at the [Fig.6-13]
upper right on the monitor.
Calibrating the O2 sensor
The O2 sensor is calibrated from the control panel.
To find O2 sensor attachment (replacement) methods, see “[3] O2 sensor
attachment and cable connections in Chapter 4 Pre-usage Preparation”.
To find calibration methods, see “[5] Operating from the MENU in Chapter
5 Control panel operating methods”
* An “OK” might not always be displayed in the first calibration right after
replacing a portion of the sensor with a new component. If that happens
then repeat the calibration several times.
* If an“NG”appears
An NG may indicate that the sensor section is deteriorated or defective, the O2 sensor unit cable is
not connected or is broken, or the O2 sensor cable connection port (connector within canister) is
defective, etc.
Please repair or replace with a new component, or reconnect correctly and then recalibrate.
(Just to be certain, try recalibrating with the old component before replacing with a new one.)
* If the sensor section is deteriorated or defective but a new replacement sensor is not available then
use as is while in that state (still inserted into canister) with that sensor.
In such cases always use an eternal O2 concentration meter.
At this time, always remove the O2 sensor unit cable from the connector within the canister. Unless
this connector is removed, the O2 concentration will still remain displayed on the monitor. An “O2
sensor communication error alarm” is activated if the O2 sensor unit cable is removed from the
connector within the canister during use.

6-7
Be sure to use an O2 concentration meter
WARNING (If the O2 sensor has poor performance or is defective and a substitute O2
sensor is not available, then use another O2 concentration meter as
specified in “JIS T 7203”.)
* Using the Anesthesia apparatus as is, without an O2 concentration meter
will cause problems with monitoring the patient.

Do not pull on the O2 sensor cable


WARNING
(Do not pull forcefully on the unit cable when calibrating the O2 sensor unit.
This may cause wire breakage or disconnections within the cable or
connector wiring. Broken or disconnected wiring will prevent correct
measurement.)

Removing the O2 sensor from the respiratory circuit (O2 sensor connection port)
NOTE
will cause leaks in the respiratory circuit.

If the O2 sensor was replaced, enter the date that usage was started with a
NOTE
ballpoint pen or similar item.

[8] Checking the vaporizer unit


Check the injection start and stop operation

[10] Calibrating the flow rate sensors


If the “float reading” does not match the “flow rate measurement” on the upper section of the flow rate
meter; or if E.E.E ”or “L.L.L” appear on the flow rate indicator, then the flow rate sensor requires
calibration.
The flow rate sensors are calibrated from the control panel.
To find calibration methods, see “[5] Operating from the MENU in Chapter 5 Control panel operating
methods”.

Don’t calibrate the flow rate sensors while using this


PROHIBITED
device
(The alarms, flow gauges, and injection vaporizer cannot be used in calibration
mode.)

Don’t change the flow rates during “calibration”


PROHIBITED (Changing the applicable flow rates of a gas during flow rate sensor calibration
will make it impossible to perform correct calibration. It will cause errors in
injection vaporization unit concentrations and prevent the flow rate ratio
alarm from operating correctly.)

Do not use if calibration of the flow rate


PROHIBITED
sensor failed
(An incorrectly calibrated flow rate sensor will cause errors in the injection
vaporizer concentration and the flow rate ratio alarm will not function correctly.)

6-17
[11] Checking the ventilator
Confirm that each respiratory mode is operating correctly.
Make the ventilator settings from the control panel.
To find setting methods, see “[3] Ventilator settings in Chapter 5 Control panel operating methods”.
(1) After setting a arbitrary respiratory mode, set the BAG-VENT selector to “VENT”. Check
that the “intake operation” starts and the pressure waveform and measurements are displayed on
the monitor on the control panel.
At this time check that the“BAG” “ “ mark has changed to “VENT” “ “on the operation
status display.
[Fig.6-22]

(2) Also check the other respiratory modes and set the required items.
(3) Check that actual measured values are shown for ventilation meter (ventilation/I/E ratio/minute
ventilation) and internal circuit pressure (MAX・EIP・AVE・PEEP).
* Items switchable in the circuit internal pressure will vary according to the respiratory mode and
PEEP setting.
* The circuit internal pressure (MAX) measurement is automatically displayed if an applicable item
cannot be displayed due to a setting change.
During VENT mode:
VCV mode PEEP setting: MAX / EIP / AVE / PEEP
PEEP no-setting: MAX / EIP / AVE
PCV / PSVmode PEEP setting: MAX / AVE / PEEP
PEEP no setting: MAX / AVE
During BAG mode: MAX / AVE

MEMO
Chapter 7 Usage Methods

WARNING
During use keep the power plug connected and leave
the power switch “ON” all the time
(“Turning off” the power switch during device use will cut off the power without
switching to battery operation. This is hazardous since all functions such as
monitor display, ventilator, injection vaporizer, O2 concentration meter, alarm
devices and safety device will cease to operate. Charging the battery is also
impossible.)
* Also leave the power switch “ON” for both “BAG mode” and “VENT mode”.

Keep water or chemicals away from the unit


WARNING (This device is not water-proof or drip-proof so fluid or liquids might penetrate
into the unit and stop operation.)

Leaving open and unsealed CO2 absorbent and leaving


PROHIBITED
fresh gas (mainly O2) still supplied to a recirculating
respirator circuit will prevent the CO2 absorbent from
drying
(Jointly using inhalant anesthetic along with CO2 absorbent that has lost its
moisture may cause fires, abnormal heat emissions, carbon monoxide
emission, or a possible loss of CO2 absorbance capability.)

Backup time with a fully charged internal battery is “30


CAUTION minutes”
* Battery charging requires at least “20 hours” or more.

[1] BAG mode


(1) Select either air or N2O. Holding down the gas select button
(air or N2O) for “3 seconds” or longer shifts the selection. The

Be aware of flow rate ratio setting errors when using


WARNING O2 and air
(This device has no interlock function to mechanically control the air flow rate.
So the wrong flow ratio could cause hypoexemia.)

NOTE When using the flow rate adjust knobs, start from O2 if increasing the flow
or start from N2O if decreasing the flow.

● If the pressure from the gas supply pipe falls (below “350kPa”) during use or the supply is cut off
then start using a support cylinder. To find methods for using the support cylinder, see “[9]
Support cylinder usage methods”

7-2
● Interlocking gear type flow rate meter
The design prevents N2O from flowing unless the O2 flows at “0.2L/minute” or more. A special
interlocking gear is used between the O2 and N2O flow rate adjuster valves to increase the fresh
gas O2 concentration as the total flow decreases.
(This links the O2 and N2O flow rates so that the intake O2 concentration does not fall below
“30%”. However this is at an O2 consumption of “0.2L/minute”, and N2O consumption of
“0.05L/minute”.)
The maximum flow rate of N2O that can be set depends on the O2 flow rate. This is because the
current O2 flow rate determines the maximum amount of N2O that can flow at that time.
When the O2 flow is “1L/minute”, the N2O can be made to flow at “2.2L/minute” and the fresh gas
O2 concentration will reach approximately “32%”.
In this state, lowering the O2 to “0.5L/minute” will prevent an N2O flow of more than “0.8L/minute”
but the fresh gas concentration will reach approximately “38%”.
So even if the fresh gas flow rate has lowered, the fresh gas O2 concentration can in this way be
raised to prevent hypoexemia in the low flow rate zone.
(4) Set the vaporizer to the required concentration
Select the injection vaporizer or vaporizer installed in the unit (sold separately).
To find methods for using the injection vaporizer see the following “[4] Using the injection
vaporizer.”

If the concentration adjuster dial on the vaporizer


WARNING mounted in the unit rotated during use of the injection
vaporizer then immediately stop usage
(Safety device built into the vaporizer mounting stand is defective. Promptly
request a repair from the manufacturer.)

If the injection vaporizer “operates” during vaporizer

Use caution to prevent accumulated “trace gases”


CAUTION (In closed circulating anesthesia circuits & extremely low flow rate anesthesia
(fresh gas flow less than 1.0L/minute) carbon monoxide, acetone, ethanol,
nitrogen, and anesthesia metabolic products might accumulate within the
circuit used by the patient.)
* Wash away gas accumulated in the patient’s circuit at regular intervals by “O2
flushing” or other methods to “increase the fresh gas flow”.

Use caution to prevent accumulated water or fluids


CAUTION (Large amounts of water or fluid might accumulate within the patient circuit due
to low “fresh gas flow” or “anesthesia at low flow rates for long periods”. So
depending on the extent of the accumulation remove the circuit and empty
the water or fluids.)

Replace the CO2 absorbent promptly


CAUTION (Replace CO2 absorbent at an early stage since it is rapidly consumed in
closed circulating anesthesia circuits, and by low flow rate anesthesia.)

Startup preparation
Holding down the injection vaporizer start-stop button for “3 seconds” or more starts suctioning of
the anesthetic from the anesthesia bottle. The message “Startup-Prep” appears on the alarm-
message display on the monitor of the control panel.
This operation ends when the device is filled with anesthesia gas.
Holding down the injection vaporizer start/stop button again for “3 seconds” or more during
“Startup-Prep” stops the feed of anesthetic into the device and feeds it back to the anesthesia
bottle.

The injection vaporizer will not “operate” unless the


CAUTION
concentration adjuster dial on the vaporizer is “OFF”

Injection vaporizer automatically “stops” in “1 hour” if


CAUTION there is no O2 flow (“0.1 L/minute” or less)
* If using only air in the injection vaporizer then the injection vaporizer will
“stop” after “1 hour”.
* Holding down the injection vaporizer start/stop button for “3 seconds” or more
sets it to “start” again.

(2) Turn the anesthesia gas concentration dial Anesthesia concentration


adjuster dial
and set the required concentration.
* If set to a sevoflurane concentration of “5%”
or more or isoflurane concentration of “4%”
or more, then turn the anesthesia gas conc.
dial while pressing in.

[Fig.7-11]

7-6
Check the setting values if the anesthesia gas
CAUTION concentration was changed
(The setting value might not always change even if the anesthesia gas
concentration dial was turned. If the setting was changed then check that the
value shown on the anesthesia gas conc. indicator is the required value.)

(3) If the anesthesia bottle is empty then operate as shown below. Replace the anesthesia bottle
using the following procedure.
a) When the anesthesia bottle is “empty”
a-1) The fluid shortage (low fluid) alarm activates. (alarm sound can be turned off.)
Operation will continue for a while with anesthesia remaining within the vaporizer circuit. Prepare
a new anesthesia bottle during that time.
a-2) Hold down the injection vaporizer start/stop button for “3 seconds” or more. An “INJ End
Preparation” message appears on the alarm-message display in the monitor of the control panel,

Afterwards, remove the bottle adapter and replace the anesthesia bottle with a new one.
* The preset anesthesia gas concentration cannot now be obtained since there now nearly no
anesthesia within the vaporizer.
b-3) Mount a bottle adapter with a new anesthesia bottle attached, onto the main unit (bottle
adapter coupling).
b-4) Hold down the injection vaporizer start-stop button for “3 seconds” or more.

Do not remove just the anesthesia bottle


PROHIBITED (Do not remove just the anesthesia bottle with the bottle adapter still attached
to the main unit. Doing this will cause air to enter the device piping and
activate the empty bottle alarm.)

Be aware of the anesthesia gas level


CAUTION (The bottle adapter cannot be removed to replace the anesthesia bottle unless
a series of actions are completed. A maximum of about “1 minute” is
required.)
* Make sure the anesthesia bottle is full before using it.

(4) To stop the injection vaporizer, hold down the injection vaporizer start-stop button for “3 seconds”
or more.
An “INJ END Preparation” message appears on the alarm-message display in the monitor of the
control panel, and orange line segments “ ” appear in a clockwise rotating display in the

End-preparation
When the injection vaporizer start-stop button is pressed for “3 seconds” or more while the injection
vaporizer is operating or in standby, an operation starts to return the anesthesia within the device to
the anesthesia bottle. This is the “INJ END Preparation” operation.
This operation ends when the anesthesia within the device has returned the anesthesia bottle.
However when the injection vaporizer start-stop button is pressed for “3 seconds” or more during
this “INJ END Preparation”, the feed of anesthesia into the anesthesia bottle stops and is returned
back to the device. (also called “start-up prep”.)

CAUTION
Always stop the injection vaporizer after use
(Allowing the operating state to continue as is for long periods will cause
bubbles in the unit internal piping and might affect operation the next time
used.)

[5] Setting the ventilator


(1) Set the ventilator
Set the ventilator from the control panel.
To find how to set the ventilator, see “[3] Ventilator settings in Chapter 5 Control panel operating
methods”.
(2) Setting the alarm
Set the alarm from the control panel.
To find how to set the alarms, see “[4] Set the alarm, check the history in the Chapter 5 Control
panel operating methods”.

[6] Respiratory mode


PRO-NEXT+I includes 3 respiratory modes (also called breath modes) called “VCV” “PCV” and “PSV”
(PSV is an option set prior to shipment.)
(1) VCV mode
VCV or volume control ventilation is a forced ventilating mode (patient usually has no
spontaneous breathing) that feeds gas from the device and delivers it a preset Vti at a set rate.
VCV feeds the gas at the required Vti (amount of air taken in and expired during a breath) and so
offers the advantage that it can maintain a good ventilation or breath volume provided there are
no leaks in the circuit, etc.
This device is allows setting the Vti, plateau, rate, I/E ratio (breath intake vs. breath expiry) and
PEEP.
(2) PCV mode
PCV or pressure controlled ventilation is a forced ventilating mode that feeds gas from the device
at a preset “pressure” and maintains the flow at a preset pressure over a preset inspiratory (breath
intake) time and rate.
PCV has the advantage that gas is fed at a preset intake or inspiratory pressure so the internal
lung pressure or bronchial pressure never exceeds a preset value so damage to the lungs is
effectively prevented.
This device allows setting the inspiratory pressure, Vti, rate, I/E ratio (breath intake: breath expiry)
and PEEP.

7-9
(3) PSV mode
PSV or pressure support ventilation is a respiratory mode to feed gas from the device
synchronously with the patient’s own breathing effort. Gas is feed at a rate that the patients
themselves require. The flow volume fed to the patient is set by pressure.
Breaths initiated by the patient are sensed by a preset trigger, and the device feeds the gas so as
to arrive at a preset support pressure to the patient. The device functions so that a pressure limit
stops the flow of gas at the time a certain pressure is reached. Basically, the patient initiates every
breath and the PSV mode provides breathing support at a preset pressure value.
This device allows setting the support pressure, trigger, and PEEP.
Support pressure
When the support pressure is set to “0”, the both the intake and expiratory pressure operate at the
same CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure).

[7] Alarm description


The alarms operate under the
Alarm indicator
following conditions to display an
alarm-message display on the
monitor of the control panel and
generate an alarm sound.
When an alarm occurs, troubleshoot
it as specified and cancel the alarm.

alarm-message display [Fig.7-17]


(1) Power failure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when power to main unit was cut off due to power plug disconnection, broken
wires in the power cord, and power failure during operation by the STBY/ON switch.
Action: Restoring power cancels the alarm.
(2) INJ Bottle connection alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when injection vaporizer was operated with no bottle adapter attached.
Action: Alarm is displayed and alarm sounds only for “5 seconds”. After that the alarm automatically
cancels.
(3) INJ vaporizer nonusable alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when injection vaporizer was operated while no O2 was supplied, or the conc.
adjuster dial on the vaporizer was “ON”.
Action: Alarm is displayed and alarm sounds only for “5 seconds”. After that the alarm automatically
cancels.
(4) Liquid shortage alarm
Cause: Anesthesia bottle became empty while injection vaporizer was in “operation”.
Action: Setting the injection vaporizer to “Stop” (switching to “INJ END Preparation”) cancels the
alarm.
* This alarm also occurs when air bubbles get into the internal pipes and tubing during
attaching/removing the bottle adapter while the power switch is “OFF”.
If there is still some remaining anesthesia, then temporarily set to “Stop” and once again set to
“Start.”

7-10
(5) INJ Bottle empty alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when no anesthesia was detected (no anesthesia) even at a specified inflow
in “INJ START Preparation”, or when there is no longer any anesthesia within the main unit
while the injection vaporizer is “operating”.
Action: Setting the injection vaporizer to “Stop” (switching to “INJ END Preparation”) cancels the
alarm.
* This alarm also occurs when air bubbles get into the internal pipes and tubing during
attaching/removing the bottle adapter while the power switch is “OFF”.
If there is still some remaining anesthesia, then temporarily set to “Stop” and once
again set to “Start.”
(6) INJ excessive setting alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when the fresh gas flow rate is too large versus the anesthesia gas
concentration (occurs when fluid feed pump setting within injection vaporizer exceeded
“5mL/minute”).
Action: Correcting the setting cancels the alarm.
(7) Fresh gas flow excessive alarm
Cause: Gas flow rate exceeded flow rate sensor measurement range (“10L/minute” or more).
Action: Reducing gas flow rate below “10.0L/minute” cancels the alarm.
(8) Fresh gas ratio alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when flow rate ratio (O2:N2O, O2:air) falls below a specified value.
a) In the case of O2+N2O:
This alarm occurs when after a “0.2L/minute” (adding N2O consumption of
“0.05L/minute”) flow compensation for O2 consumption, a state occurs where the N2O
flow rate exceeded a flow rate ratio capable of an O2 content of “28%” for “2 seconds”
or more.
b) In the case of O2+air:
This alarm occurs when after a “0.2L/minute” compensation for O2 consumption, the air
flow rate exceeded a flow rate ratio capable of an O2 content of “28%” for “2 continuous
seconds” or more. However, the air flow rate in this case is “3L/minute” or less.
Action: Setting a correct flow rate ratio cancels the alarm.
(9) O2 flow shortage alarm
Cause: a) Alarm occurs when the O2 flow rate dropped below “0.1L/minute” for “8 seconds” or
more while the N2O flow rate was “0.1L/minute” or more.
b) It also occurs when the O2 concentration dropped below “18%”.
Action: a) Setting the O2 to “0.1L/minute” or more cancels the alarm.
b) Setting the O2 concentration to“19%” or higher cancels the alarm.
(10) Fresh gas pressure too high alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when shutting the gas outlet caused an extremely high pressure (“200hPa” or
more) within the device gas circuit.
Action: Lowering the pressure (below “100hPa”) cancels the alarm.
* During normal use, the pressure level is not high enough to trigger this alarm.
(11) Fresh gas flow sensor alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when flow rate sensor calibration is incorrect or there is an abnormality
Action: Recalibrating the flow rate sensor cancels the alarm.
* If this alarm occurs then the device cannot be used at the current applicable flow rate. Extreme
care is needed when using the device at this time. Please calibrate the flow sensor.

7-11
(12) Low O2 supply pressure alarm (This alarm message is not displayed.)
Cause: Alarm occurs when O2 supply pressure has dropped to “250kPa”.
Action: Restoring O2 supply pressure to” 260kPa” or more cancels the alarm.
(13) O2 concentration lower limit alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when O2 concentration dropped below “18 to 95%”.
Action: Raising O2 concentration above the lower limit cancels the alarm.
(14) O2 concentration upper limit alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when O2 concentration setting was “30 to 100%” or higher.
Action: Lowering O2 concentration below the upper limit cancels the alarm.
(15) O2 sensor calibration failure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when sensor element in O2 sensor unit is deteriorated or defective.
Action: Replacing with a new sensor element and recalibrating cancels the alarm.
(16) O2 sensor Not connected alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when sensor element of O2 sensor unit is not connected or is improperly
connected.
Action: Connecting the sensor element of O2 sensor unit cancels the alarm.
(17) Drive gas pressure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when the O2 or air (option set prior to shipment) serving as the Driving gas
has fallen below 280kPa.
Action: Raising the Driving gas (O2 or air) above “280kPa” cancels the alarm.
(18) O2 gas pressure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when O2 has fallen below “200kPa”.
Action: Raising the O2 above “200kPa” cancels the alarm.
(19) Low inspiratory pressure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when there is no pressure applied greater than the preset alarm level within
the preset time (15 or 30 seconds) .
Action: Applying pressure greater than the preset alarm level during the preset time cancels the
alarm.
(20) Excess pressure alarm
During VENT
Cause: Alarm occurs when internal circuit pressure during inspiratory reached a preset excess
level.
Action: Setting the internal circuit pressure below the preset excess level cancels the alarm.
During BAG
Cause: Alarm occurs under any of the following conditions.
Condition(1): When instantaneous pressure value was higher than the preset excess level
for a continuous “3 seconds” or longer.
Condition(2): When instantaneous value is “5hPa” or more, and moreover the average value
was monitored continuously for “5 seconds”, and when the average value
consecutively rose “3 times” or more, the difference between the average and
instantaneous values was below “3hPa”.
Condition(3): When 25hPa was exceeded for a consecutive 3 seconds or more regardless
of the preset alarm value.
Action: Setting the internal circuit pressure below the preset excess level cancels the alarm.
(21) Inspiratory pressure alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when intake flow rate is too low during inspiratory cycle and the circuit
internal pressure does not reach a preset pressure during the inspiratory cycle.
Action: Increasing the intake flow rate (okay even in AUTO) to reach the preset level will cancel the
alarm.

7-12
(22) Setting error alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when intake flow rate was outside the “1 to 80L/minute” range.
Action: Setting the flow rate within the “1 to 80L/minute” range cancels the alarm.
(23) Apnea alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when no respiration (trigger) was detected in PSV mode within the standby
time (30 to 60 seconds).
Action: Change the sensitivity so that the trigger can be adequately detected.
(24) MV upper limit alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when MV measurement reached upper limit of VE (minute) upper limit alarm.
Action: When MV measurement falls below upper limit the alarm cancels.
(25) MV lower limit alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when MV measurement did not reach lower limit of VE (minute) upper limit
alarm.
Action: When MV measurement rises above lower limit the alarm cancels.
(26) Battery voltage drop alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs after power failure alarm when battery voltage dropped to a specified level
while operating on the internal battery.
Action: Supplying power to cancel the alarm.
(27) BAG-VENT selector defect alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when BAG-VENT selector is in neutral (not securely switched to BAG or
VENT position).
Action: Securely switching the BAG-VENT selector to BAG or VENT position cancels the alarm.
(28) O2 sensor communication error alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when O2 sensor unit cable is not attached to connector, or the cable might be
broken or disconnected.
Action: Attaching cable to connector cancels the alarm. If wires are broken then replace the O2
sensor unit.
(29) INJ communication error alarm
Cause: Alarm occurs when data cannot be exchanged with injection board.
Action: Request a repair.
(30) Alarm sound pause
Pressing the Alarm pause button during alarm operations supporting pauses will stop the alarm
sound, and during this pause the alarm mark changes to an Alarm pause mark (bell X). Changing
the conditions automatically cancels the alarm.
