ACGO (optional)
Fresh gas flow is directed through the Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet
(ACGO) on the front of the system when the ACGO switch is in the
ACGO position. Mechanical ventilation is not available when
operating an auxiliary manual breathing circuit with fresh gas from the
ACGO. The BTV switch, APL valve, and bag are not part of the
external circuit. Volume and pressure monitoring are not available.
O2 monitoring of fresh gas is available automatically when the ACGO
is selected if the system has the O2 cell monitoring option. A sample
of the fresh gas is diverted to the O2 cell in the breathing circuit. The
sample flow to the O2 cell is dependent on the pressure in the
external circuit. The sample flow reduces the fresh gas flow rate to
the auxiliary breathing circuit equal to the amount delivered to the O2
cell.
Fresh gas oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen. Set the
alarm limits appropriately. Note that fresh gas oxygen concentration
may not reflect FiO2 during spontaneous breathing or in rebreathing
circuits.
Important Use an external O2 monitor if using a rebreathing circuit on ACGO.
Do not use an external ventilator on the ACGO. Do not use the ACGO
to drive external ventilators or for jet ventilation.
See “Scavenging” in the “Setup and Connections” section for more
information on connections.

WARNING The maximum pressure at the ACGO can be up to 55 kPa


(8 psi). Use a breathing circuit with pressure relief.

Scavenging the A sample of the fresh gas is diverted to the O2 cell in the breathing
ACGO sample flow circuit. If an auxiliary manual breathing circuit is used with N2O or
volatile anesthetics, this sample flow should be scavenged.
1. Attach a circle breathing circuit to the inspiratory and expiratory
ports. Occlude the circle circuit by connecting the Y-piece to the
plug located to the rear of the expiratory port.
2. Check for clinically correct settings. Set the Bag/Vent switch to
mechanical ventilation mode. (Mechanical ventilation will not start
when ACGO is selected.) Alternatively, set the Bag/Vent switch
to the bag mode, set the APL valve to MIN, and attach a bag.
3. The bellows, or bag, fills slowly with the fresh gas sample flow
and then spills to the AGSS.

EZchange Canister (optional)


Push the absorber canister release to activate the EZchange Canister
mode. The canister will drop to the EZchange position. The
EZchange Canister mode seals the breathing circuit when the
canister holder is down. This permits continued ventilation and
rebreathing of exhaled gases.
Systems with EZchange Canister have the following label on the
canister holder. When the system is in EZchange position, the
message ‘No CO2 Absorption’ shows on the ventilator display.

Figure 3-1: Label on the canister holder

To return to absorber mode, reinsert the canister into the holder and
push the canister back up and snap it into absorber position. When
the canister is in the absorber position, the exhaled gas flows through
the absorber, removing CO2.

Passive AGSS (optional)

WARNING Always verify the proper operation of any gas scavenging


system; ensure the scavenging system is not occluded.
The passive AGSS (Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System) contains
both positive and negative pressure relief valves to protect the
breathing circuit and the patient. The outlet is a 30-mm connector on
the bottom of the receiver.
There is also a connector that may be used for scavenging the
sample from a gas monitor. The male luer inlet connection is located
near the 30-mm connector.
Passive AGSS is intended primarily for use in operating room
environments which have no active gas extraction system for waste
gas disposal. The disposal system generally consists of large
diameter tubing directly linking the passive AGSS with the building
exterior. The tubing should be as large in diameter and as short as
possible for the particular application.
Passive AGSS may also be used with a non-recirculating facility
ventilation system for waste gas disposal. The tubing connection from
passive AGSS to the non-recirculating facility ventilation system
should be an open connection, essentially at atmospheric pressure,
such as to an exhaust grill.

Connecting passive To use the optional passive AGSS installed on the system, connect it
AGSS as follows:
1. Connect the proper large diameter tubing to the AGSS 30 mm
outlet connector on the bottom of the AGSS.
Note The tubing connection from the passive AGSS to the non-circulating
facility ventilation system should be an open connection, essentially
an atmospheric pressure, such as to an exhaust grill.
2. Connect the free end of the tubing to the building exterior or
outside ventilation system.
3. The passive scavenging system relies on slight positive pressure
of gases, or on slight negative pressure caused by an exhaust
fan, to move gases through the system. For this reason, all
unused ports must be capped to prevent gas from leaking into the
room and to maintain the expected pressures.
Note In the event that excess gas accumulates in the scavenging system
and cannot exit the machine properly, pressure could build. If this
pressure reaches 10cmH20, the brass weight of the positive relief
valve will be lifted up allowing the gas to escape into the room. This
prevents the pressure from backing up into the patient circuit.

3-6 M1217964 Rev B


3 Operation

Active AGSS (optional)

WARNING Always verify the proper operation of any gas scavenging


system; ensure the scavenging system is not occluded.
There are several versions of the optional active AGSS (Anesthesia
Gas Scavenging System) available depending on the hospital’s type
of waste gas disposal system.
Each version has a two-liter reservoir to capture peak exhaust flows
that briefly exceed the extract flow. The disposal system normally
entrains room air through an air brake (located in a receiver), but will
spill from this port during extended periods of high exhaust flow. Its
effectiveness is limited by the extract flow of the particular active
AGSS device.
• The active low flow system with DISS EVAC connector is for use
with high vacuum disposal systems. It requires a vacuum system
capable of a continuous nominal flow of 36 L/min and 305 mmHg
(12 inHg) or greater vacuum pressure. A flow indicator on the
system indicates when the unit is in operation.
• The active high flow system is for use with low vacuum (blower
type) disposal systems. This requires a system capable of
providing a continuous nominal flow of 50~80 L/min. A flow
indicator on the system indicates when the unit is in operation.
• Another version is the active adjustable flow. It provides the
capability to adjust the flow with a needle valve (located in a
receiver) and a visual indicator bag which should be properly
inflated. It requires a vacuum system capable of a continuous
nominal flow of no more than 30 L/min and 305 mmHg (12 inHg)
or greater vacuum pressure.
• The active low flow system with a 12.7 mm hose barb connector
is for use with low vacuum disposal system. It requires an
external venturi system with flowmeter and 36 L/min extract flow.
• The active low flow system with a 25 mm barb connector is for
use with low vacuum disposal systems. It requires an external
venturi/ejector system with 36 L/min extract flow. A flow indicator
on the system indicates when the unit is in operation.
• The active low flow system with 30-mm ISO taper is for use with
low vacuum disposal systems. It requires an external venturi/
ejector system with 36 L/min extract flow. A flow indicator on the
system indicates when the unit is in operation.

Connecting active To use the optional active AGSS on a system that has a flow
AGSS with a flow indicator, connect it as follows.
indicator 1. Connect the proper hose to the AGSS outlet connector on the
bottom of the AGSS. Attach the other end to the hospital disposal
system.
2. With the AGSS operating, verify that the flow indicator ball on the
flow indicator rises to the green zone, indicating adequate flow.

Note The ball in the upper red zone indicates excessively high extraction
flow. The ball in the lower red zone indicates extraction flow rate is
too low or a blocked filter.
3. Complete the tests in the “Preoperative Tests” section of this
manual.

Connecting active The active adjustable AGSS option flow rate is limited to 30 l/min with
adjustable AGSS this option.
To use the optional active AGSS installed on the system which uses
the three-liter bag as a visual indicator, connect it as follows.
1. Connect a disposal hose to the DISS connector on the needle
valve on the bottom of the AGSS (underneath). The hose should
be flexible and reinforced to help prevent kinking and crushing.
2. Attach the other end of the hose to the hospital disposal system.
3. Attach the three-liter bag to the 30-mm auxiliary 1 port on the
bottom of the AGSS.
4. Use the needle valve to adjust the flow rate to match the amount
of gas being scavenged. Use the visual indicator bag when

Inspect the system

WARNING Make sure that the breathing circuit is correctly


connected and not damaged. Replace the breathing
circuit if it is damaged.

Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline


supply is in use. Cylinder supplies could be depleted,
leaving an insufficient reserve supply in case of pipeline
failure.

The upper shelf weight limit is 25 kg.

Before using the system make sure that:


• The equipment is not damaged.
• All components are correctly attached.
• The breathing circuit is correctly connected, not damaged, and
the breathing canister is correctly installed and contains sufficient
absorbent.
• The vaporizers are locked in position and contain sufficient agent.
• Pipeline gas supplies are connected and the pressures are
correct.
• Cylinder valves are closed on models with cylinder supplies.
• Models with cylinder supplies have a cylinder wrench attached to
the system.
• The necessary emergency equipment is available and in good
condition.
• Equipment for airway maintenance, tracheal intubation, and IV
administration is available and in good condition.

Pipeline and cylinder tests

CAUTION To prevent damage:


• Open the cylinder valves slowly.
• Do not force the flow controls.

Note If your system does not use backup cylinder supplies, skip steps 2
and 3.
1. Disconnect the pipeline supplies and close all cylinder valves. If
the pipeline and the cylinder pressure gauges are not at zero,
bleed all gasses from the system.
• Connect an O2 supply.
• Set the power switch to On.
• Set the flow controls to mid range.
• Make sure that all gauges but O2 are at zero.
• Disconnect the O2 supply.
• Make sure that the O2 gauge goes to zero. As pressure
decreases, alarms for low O2 supply pressure should occur.
Note: Other ventilator alarms will activate.
• Reconnect the O2 supply. O2 pressure should show on the
gauge and the alarm should deactivate.
• Turn the power switch to Off.
2. Make sure that the cylinders are full:
• Open each cylinder valve, one at a time.
• Make sure that each cylinder has sufficient pressure. If not,
close the applicable cylinder valve and install a full cylinder.
3. Test one cylinder at a time for high pressure leaks:
• Turn the flow control knobs fully clockwise to stop gas flow.
• Open the cylinder.
• Record the cylinder pressure.
• Close the cylinder valve.
• Record the cylinder pressure after one minute. If the pressure
has decreased more than 5000 kPa (725 psi), there is a leak.
Install a new cylinder gasket and do this step again.
• Repeat step 3 for each cylinder. For N2O cylinder, if the
pressure has decreased more than 690 kPa (100 psi), there
is a leak.
Install a new cylinder gasket and do this step again.
4. Connect the pipeline supplies one at a time and ensure that the
corresponding gauge indicates pipeline pressure.
5. Set the power switch to Off.

Flow control tests

WARNING Nitrous oxide (N2O), if available, flows through the system


during this test. Use a safe and approved procedure to
collect and remove the N2O.

WARNING This anesthesia system includes a protective low O2


concentration mechanism. If the system is equipped with
both O2 and N2O the O2 concentration will be at least
21%. Note this protective system cannot replace an O2
monitor. Sufficient O2 in the fresh gas may not prevent
hypoxic mixtures in the breathing circuit.

WARNING Incorrect gas mixtures can cause patient injury. If the


hypoxic guard system does not supply O2 and N2O in the
correct proportions, do not use the system.
1. Set up the gas scavenging system.
• Attach a patient circuit and plug the patient port.
• Attach a bag to the bag port (or plug the bag port).
• Set the BTV switch to manual.
• Adjust the APL valve to minimum.
2. Connect the pipeline supplies or slowly open the cylinder valves.
3. Turn all flow controls fully clockwise (zero flow).
4. Set the power switch to On, push the control knob to enter
manual ventilation mode.
5. Adjust O2 flow to 0.5 L/min.
6. Confirm that the O2 sensor measures 21% in room air and 100%
in pure O2. If not, calibrate the O2 sensor.
7. Set the flow controls to mid range of each flowtube and make
sure that the flowtube floats rotate and move smoothly.

Note If the system does not include N2O, skip steps 8 and 9.

5.0 21% to 33%
9.0 21% to 33%

9. Check the proportioning system concentration (decreasing O2


flow). Observe the following precautions:
• Start with the N2O valve at 10 L/min.
• Adjust only the O2 flow control.
• Decrease the O2 flow as specified in the table and make sure
the O2 concentration is in the allowed range.

Note Allow the O2 monitor to stabilize. At the lower flows, the O2 monitor
may take up to 90 seconds to stabilize.

• If you overshoot a setting, turn the N2O flow control


counterclockwise until the O2 flow increases to the previous
setting before continuing the test.

Alarms
When an alarm occurs during a case, an alarm tone sounds and the
alarm message is displayed in the alarm message field. If more
alarms occur than can be displayed in the available alarm message
area, the alarms cycle every two seconds.
Alarms have three general causes:
• Malfunctions - Result in reduced system function or prevent
mechanical ventilation
• Patient monitoring - Are caused by high and low limit settings that
are adjusted by the user.
• Informational - Are caused by control settings or system
conditions that may change system operation.
Alarm priority is dependent on the level of risk to the patient.
A high-priority alarm tone sounds in two burst of five tones, a pause,
and then repeats. High-priority alarms can be silenced for 110
seconds.
A high-priority alarm displayed in red background and white
character.
Medium-priority alarm tones sound in 3 tones with a 10-second
pause, then repeats. Medium priority alarms can be silenced for 110
seconds.
Medium-priority alarms are displayed as yellow characters on a grey
background.
Silencing an alarm stops the audible tone for 110 seconds.

WARNING When a high-priority alarm is eliminated, you must click


the knob to clear high alarm message after this alarm
condition is inactive!

system.

Battery
The reserved battery will auto-charge and keep the full charged
status when the system is operating. There is no need to charge or
maintain it manually. Please contact GE Healthcare for battery repair
and maintenance.

Prevent water buildup


Water is created from exhaled gas and a chemical reaction between
CO2 and the absorbent. Water buildup increases when the system is
used at low fresh gas flows. At low flows, more CO2 stays in the
absorber producing water and more moist exhaled gas remains in the
absorber.
Pooled water in the flow sensor or water in the sensing lines can
cause inaccurate alarms. Small beads of water or foggy appearance
in the flow sensor is okay.
To manage excess water:
• Empty the water reservoir in the canister from top when changing
the absorbent or the reservoir is full.
• Make sure that any water condensing in the breathing circuit
tubes is not allowed to drain into the flow sensor.

WARNING Obey applicable safety precautions:


• Read the material safety data sheet for each cleaning
agent.
• Read the manual for all sterilization equipment to be
used.
• Wear gloves and safety glasses. A damaged O2 cell
can leak and cause burns. Do not breathe the fumes.

CAUTION To prevent damages:


• Refer to the manufacturer’s data if you have questions
about a cleaning agent.
• Follow hospital procedures for cleaning areas of the
machine not specified in this section.
• Do not use organic, halogenated, or petroleum-based
solvents, anesthetic agents, glass cleaners, acetone,
or other harsh cleaning agents.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents (such as steel
wool, silver polish or cleaner).
• Keep all liquids away from electronic parts.
• Do not permit liquid to go into the equipment housings.
• Do not soak synthetic rubber parts for more than 15
minutes. Swelling or faster aging can occur.
• Only autoclave parts marked 134°C.
• Cleaning solutions must have a pH of 7.0 to 10.5.

CAUTION Even accessories designed to be reused (e.g.after


reprocessing) have a limited service life. Due to a number
of factors connected with handling and reprocessing
(e.g.disinfectant residues can attack the material more
intensely during auto-claving), increased wear can occur
and the service life can be markedly shortened. These
parts must be replaced if signs of wear become visible,
such as cracks, deformation, discoloration, peeling, etc.

Bellows assembly tests

WARNING Objects in the breathing circuit can stop gas flow to the
patient. This can cause injury or death:
• Do not use a test plug that is small enough to fall into
the breathing circuit.
• Make sure that there are no test plugs or other
objects caught in the breathing circuit.

The bellows assembly tests do not replace the


preoperative tests. Always complete the tests in the
“Preoperative Tests” section before using the system on
the patient.

These tests make sure that all components are correctly


assembled. These are not an alternative to a complete
system checkout. If the bellows assembly operates
correctly, complete the assembly of the breathing circuit.
If there is a problem, disassemble the bellows assembly.
Verify proper assembly and look for and replace
damaged parts.

To test the bellows assembly:


1. Hold the bellows assembly vertically and use the appropriate test
plugs to seal the ports as shown.

Gas supplies Pressurized gas supplies enter the system through a pipeline or
cylinder connection. All connections have indexed fittings, filters, and
check valves. Gauges show the cylinder and pipeline pressures.
A regulator decreases the cylinder pressures to the appropriate
system pressure. A pressure relief valve helps protect the system
from high pressures.
To help prevent problems with the gas supplies:
• Install yoke plugs on all empty cylinder connections.
• When a pipeline supply is connected, keep the cylinder valve
closed.
• Disconnect the pipeline supplies when the system is not in use.

WARNING Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline


supply is in use. Cylinder supplies could be depleted,
leaving an insufficient reserve supply in case of pipeline
failure.

O2 flow Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies O2 directly to the


ventilator (O2 Ventilator). A secondary regulator decreases the
pressure for the flush valve.
The flush valve supplies high flows of O2 to the fresh gas outlet when
you push the flush button. The flush switch uses pressure changes to
monitor the position of the flush valve. A message on the ventilator
tells you when Flush is ON if the machine has ACGO function.
When the system switch is ON, O2 flows to the rest of the system and
there is a minimum flow through the O2 flowmeter.
A secondary regulator supplies a constant O2 pressure to the flow
control valve.
An electrical switch monitors the O2 supply pressure. If the pressure
is too low, an alarm appears on the ventilator.

Air and N2O A balance regulator controls the flow of N2O to the flow control valve.
Oxygen pressure at a control port adjusts the output of the regulator.
This stops flow during an O2 supply failure and ensures that the
hypoxic gas pressures decrease with the O2 supply pressure.
Changes in O2 pressure do not affect Air.
A gear linkage on the N2O and O2 flow controls helps keep the O2
concentration higher than approximately 21% at the fresh gas outlet.
Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure directly supply Air to the
ventilator (Air Ventilators). When the system switch is ON, air flows to
the rest of the system. A secondary regulator supplies the air flow
control valve. Because there is no balance regulator, air flow
continues at the set rate during an O2 supply failure.

11-4 M1217964 Rev B


11 Specifications and Theory of Operation

Mixed gas The mixed gas goes from the flowmeter outlet through the vaporizer
that is ON, to the fresh gas outlet, and into the breathing circuit. A
pressure relief valve sets the maximum outlet pressure.

11 Specifications and Theory of Operation

Ventilator theory
The ventilator pneumatics are located in the rear of the breathing
circuit. A precision flow valve controls the amount of flow provided to
the patient, while a second, smaller flow valve is used to control the
exhalation valve sealing pressure.
Breaths are provided to the patient by sealing the exhalation valve
and providing flow to the breathing circuit. During exhalation, the
sealing pressure on the exhalation valve is released and flow
exhausts from the breathing circuit. Electronic control of PEEP is
achieved by maintaining a small amount of sealing pressure on the
exhalation valve.
Volume measurements come from a sensor in Y piece. Tubes from
the sensor element connect to a pressure transducer. The transducer
measures the pressure change across each sensor, which changes
with the flow. The other pressure transducer measures the airway
pressure at the outlet of the breathing circuit. Safety redundant valves
are used to limit the airway pressure, based on the user’s Pmax
setting.
Volume monitoring uses the flow sensor.
Note that the 9100c Ventilator provides a small amount of bleed flow
through a pneumatic resistor to control the exhalation valve.

WARNING Do not try to silence the pneumatic resistor. If it is


blocked, the ventilator can malfunction and cause patient
injury.

M1217964 Rev B 11-13


9100c

O2 monitor theory of The O2 monitor measures and displays O2 concentration in the


operation patient circuit.
The O2 sensor assembly contains an oxygen sensor that produces a
voltage proportional to the oxygen partial pressure (concentration) at
its detecting surface.
The O2 sensor is an electrochemical device (galvanic cell). Oxygen
diffuses through a membrane into the device and oxidizes a base
metal electrode. This oxidation produces an electrical current
proportional to the partial pressure of the oxygen at the electrode’s
sensing surface. The base metal electrode gradually wears out from
the oxidation process.
The voltage from the sensor cartridge is affected by the temperature
of the monitored gas mixture. A thermistor in the sensor’s housing
automatically compensates for temperature changes in the sensor.
The O2 monitor uses signal processing and analyzing circuitry to
convert the sensor signal into a corresponding % oxygen value. The
system displays this value and compares it to saved alarm limits. If
the value falls outside the limits, the monitor produces the appropriate
alarms.

Pressure control supplies a constant set pressure during inspiration.
The ventilator calculates the inspiratory time from the respiratory rate

set inspiratory pressure. The flow then decreases to maintain the set
pressure (Pinsp).
Pressure sensors in the ventilator measure patient airway pressure.
The ventilator automatically adjusts the flow to maintain the set
inspiratory pressure.

according to the transmitter
manufacturer and D is the
recommended separation
distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF
transmitters, as determined by
an electromagnetic site survey,
should be less than the
compliance level in each
frequency range.
The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to
13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz
are intended to decrease the likelihood that a portable communications device could cause interference if it is inadvertently
brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation
distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
field strength in the location in which the system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the system should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the system.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.
Note: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects, and people.

Note 1: At 80 MHz to 800 MHz the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: The ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz

Electrical safety

WARNING The system provides connections for items such as


printers, visual displays and hospital information networks
(only connect items that are intended to be part of the
system). When these items (non-medical equipment) are
combined with the system, these precautions must be
followed:
• Do not place items not approved to IEC 60601-1
closer than 1.5 m to the patient.
• All items (medical electrical equipment or non-medical
electrical equipment) connected to the system by a
signal input/signal output cable must be supplied from
an AC power source which uses a separating
transformer (in accordance with IEC 60989) or be
provided with an additional protective earth conductor.
• If a portable multiple socket outlet assembly is used as
an AC power source, it must comply with IEC 60601-1.
The assembly must not be placed on the floor. Using
more than one portable multiple socket outlet
assembly is not recommended. Using an extension
cord is not recommended.
Do not connect non-medical electrical equipment directly to the AC
outlet at the wall instead of an AC power source which uses a
separating transformer. Doing so may increase enclosure leakage
current above levels allowed by IEC 60601-1 in normal conditions
and under single-fault conditions. This may cause an unsafe electrical
shock to the patient or operator.
After connecting anything to these outlets, conduct a complete
system leakage current test (according to IEC 60601-1).

WARNING An operator of the medical electrical system must not


touch non-medical electrical equipment and the patient
simultaneously. This may cause an unsafe electrical
shock to the patient.

IEC 60601-1 Classification


This system is classified as follows.
• Class I Equipment.
• Type B Equipment.
• Ordinary Equipment.
• Not for use with flammable anesthetics.
