REPORT ALARM
- The microprocessor card, which facilitates the running together of all system elements
(actuators, meters, interface, etc.).
- The power unit, which transforms and supplies the energy required for the proper function
of the microprocessor card.
- The visual interface, comprising a graphic display, a touchscreen and visual indicators.
- The ventilator: this sub-system is the processor dedicated to ventilation. It integrates the
electronic conditioning stages linked to the sensors (flow, pressure, O2, etc.), to the commands
for the electro-pneumatic elements (blower, SV. etc.), to the audible alarm (buzzer) and to the
communication with the monitor.
- The monitor: this sub-system is the processor dedicated to MMI (man-machine interface). It
allows for full management (cf. display interface), integrates the electronic stages linked to
safety and to redundancy of commands for particular elements (audible and visual alarms,
pressure metering, etc.) and handles the communications with the ventilator.
The power card handles automatic switching between these different power sources and informs
the microprocessor card of the sources present.
In the absence of mains power, the power module will automatically switch to the external back-up
supply if this is present, or otherwise to the internal battery.
In the latter instance, following disconnection from the mains supply for more than 8 hours, with the
machine switched off, the cut-off on the internal battery is thrown to prevent it from discharging.
The user interface is provided by means of a 5-wire resistant 10.4” touchscreen and its controller.
The controller transforms the screen position of the user’s finger into Cartesian coordinates (x, y).
The system for adjusting and validating parameters is handled by a coding dial (standard
16-position encoder). The user can also access these functions by selecting the zone for
parameterization via the touchscreen (dual access).
Similarly, the front face accommodates the indicators for the system alarms (ventilation or technical
malfunction) and for mains power on.
The mechanical system comprises the combination of a base, which is the actual device mount,
with face containing the MMI and patient-machine interface.
THE BASE
The base is the central mount for the system, and most of the mechanical and pneumatic elements
are fixed onto it; it is divided into the following sections:
- Blower compartment:
This compartment is lined with foams to provide sound insulation.
- Battery compartment:
This compartment is located between the power feeds and the blower. Its can be accessed
quickly by opening a cover located on the back of the device.
- Pneumatic compartment:
This comprises the various pneumatic assemblies (inspiratory and expiratory limbs, solenoid
valves, valves, flow sensors, etc.), the microprocessor card and the MMI (attached to the face).

- Air / O2 mix module: provides a specified concentration of O2 in the patient gas, between 21%
and 100%. The variable O2 enrichment derives from proportional regulation of O2 by the SV
across the flow sensor. The enrichment rate of the gas is measured at the device exit using a
chemical cell.
- Inspiratory limb: An inspiratory-side proportional solenoid valve enables all the ventilation
modes offered to be selected. It handles flow regulation across the patient flow sensor (FS3) or
pressure regulation across the pressure sensor (PS4), depending on the mode selected
(volumetric or barometric).
- Expiratory limb: a solenoid valve unit (proportional and on/off) handles PEEP control and
enables the circuit to be depressurised if needed.
- Additional modules:
- Patient safety module: provides for spontaneous patient breath in the event of a machine
failure;
- Nebulizer module: provides for dosing of drugs in gas form;
- Low pressure inlet nodule: allows for use of MONNAL T75 on the oxygen concentrator.
PNEUMATIC FUNCTION
Ventilation function
The blower (T) of the ventilator sucks in fresh air via the microfilter (F1) and compresses it
according to the patient and the settings concerned. The compressed gas is then distributed via a
pneumatic network according to whether an inspiratory or expiratory phase is being delivered.
Inspiratory phase:
The main component during the inspiratory phase is the solenoid valve (V6) which regulates the
flow rate via the flow sensor (FS3) when the selected mode is volume-controlled, or via the
pressure sensor (PS4) when the selected mode is pressure-controlled.
At the same time, the solenoid valves (V3), (V4) and (V5) are open, closed, and closed
respectively such that the blower pressure is applied to the membrane (M2) of the expiratory valve,
thus forcing the air sent via the solenoid valve (V6) to flow towards the patient only.
Expiratory phase:
In this phase, the patient exhales the gases inhaled in the previous phase, and the unit is expected
to regulate to a pressure determined by the settings (PEEP).
With this in mind, the solenoid valve (V4) opens to depressurise the membrane (M2) and the PEEP
control proportional solenoid valve (V3) regulates the expiration pressure via the pressure sensor
(PS4).
At the same time, the inspiratory electromagnet regulates the flow via the flow sensor (FS3) for a
rinse flow of 2 L/min. This flow limits reinhalation and allows quick detection of an inspiratory
demand.
During ventilation with leakage, such as NIV, the solenoid valve (V6) is liable to increase the
rinse flow; it then enters an 'on-demand valve' mode. The purpose of this function is to compensate
for leaks in order to maintain the PEEP in the circuit.
Air / O2 mixture
The O2 concentration of the gases administered to the patient depends on the oxygen source. A
distinction is made between O2 network operation and concentrator operation.
Operation on an O2 network:
For proper operation, the pressure at the O2 inlet terminals (O2 HP) must be between 1.5 and 7
bars. The O2 is then filtered via F3.
The proportional solenoid valve (V1) enriches the mixture in oxygen by regulating the flow via the
flow sensor (FS1), where the set-point is proportional to the upstream flow rate (FS2) and depends
on the FiO2 setting.
The filter (BF1) throttles the flow to prevent pneumatic disturbances following the pressure
reduction of the compressed gas.
Concentrator operation:
The device is equipped with a "low pressure" connector for working with a concentrator (intake via
the filter (F2)).
During the inspiratory phase, the proportional solenoid valve (V1) regulates in accordance with the
same principle as for the ventilation function. However, given the low flows of O2 generated by the
concentrator, the proportional solenoid valve (V1) can be fully opened.
During expiration, with the flow of O2 to be delivered being lower, regulation via the solenoid valve
(V1) will be identical to regulation at high pressure.
The principle of precise control of the O2 concentration applied at high pressure is maintained
when operating with a low-pressure source, with the device constantly delivering a mix at the
correct FiO2.
However, it may well be that the mix concentration cannot be achieved since it depends:
- on the ventilation parameters,
- on the type of concentrator and its settings (the O2 flow rate delivered by the concentrator is
often low and its O2 concentration variable [between 90 and 100%])
The following graph shows the maximum concentrations that can be obtained with different
concentrator flow rates (based on an O2 concentration of 100%) according to the minute volume of
a patient ventilated at the frequency of 15c/min:
FiO2 (%)
10L/min
5L/min
2,5L/min
For example, for a concentrator delivering 5L/min and a patient ventilated in volumetric mode with
a Vt of 0.5L and a frequency of 15c/min (i.e.: a minute volume of 0.5x15=7.5L/min), the maximum
concentration that may be obtained will be approximately 50%. The device will then be capable of
delivering any required concentration below this value.
Since the device only consumes the flow that it needs to ensure correct concentration of the
mix, Air Liquide Medical Systems recommends that the low-pressure source be adjusted to its
maximum flow rate. This will make it possible to obtain a wider range of possible FiO2.
Whatever the function mode for the device, the oxygen sensor (O2S) ensures monitoring of the
concentration in the circuit.
Nebulization
The O2 supply pressure (O2 HP) is reduced in the nebulization limb by the pressure reducer (PR1)
at a pressure of 1.2 bar.
The nebulization on/off solenoid valve (V2) provides nebulization via its open and closed positions.
The nebulization flow rate then depends on the nebulizer used.
Safety - Monitoring
The primary safety element is the combination of the ambient air intake (M1) and the 3/2 on/off
patient venting solenoid valve (V7).
In normal function, the solenoid valve (V7) is switched such as to provide the connection between
the blower and the membrane (M1). The membrane is therefore positioned firmly onto its seating,
ensuring that the assembly does not leak.
In the event of a fault with the device, the solenoid valve (V7) switches and ensures a connection
between the membrane (M1) and the patient circuit.
Thus if the patient realises spontaneous inspiration, the membrane (M1) releases from its seating
and the air is aspirated by the device’s ambient air intake. The air will have been passed through
the filter (F4) beforehand.
During patient expiration, the membrane (M1) will be positioned automatically onto its seating; the
expired air will then pass via (M2), which prevents any reinhalation of the expired gases.
- The O2 pressure sensor (PS1): this informs the device of the presence or absence of the
oxygen feed.
- Bleed on/off solenoid valve (V5): enables the expiratory limb to be depressurised if the
PEEP control on/off solenoid valve (V4) remains blocked.
- The differential pressure sensor (PS2): gives access to the pressure blower and controls
correct switching of the venting solenoid valve (V7) during automatic tests.
- The atmospheric / expiratory limb pressure sensor (PS3): handles monitoring of pressure
in the expiratory limb.
- Airway inspiratory pressure sensor (PS5): handles monitoring of data provided by the
airway inspiratory pressure sensor (PS4).
- Blower flow sensor (FS2): in addition to its role in establishing the O2 concentration, this
handles monitoring of the O2 inlet filter (FS3).

INSUFFLATION
Patient pressure
By design, the expiratory valve features a non-return flap to prevent re-inhalation of expired
gases.
The expiratory valve can be sterilised in an autoclave, and can undergo 50 sterilisation cycles.
A unit serial number on the body of the valve advises the date of manufacture of the elements, and
if necessary makes it possible to track the number of cycles gone through.
DEFINITION
This sensor measures the gas passing through the expiratory limb of the patient circuit.
The measurement makes it possible to:
− Display the expired flow;
− Monitor the ventilation rate per minute.
FUNCTION
The sensor comprises a resistance wire placed in the flow, and passed through by a current at a
constant level which increases the temperature of the wire in a continuous manner. The result of
this is a convection heat exchange between the wire and the flow of gas, and the resulting
temperature of the wire is indicative of the speed of the flow.
Range: From 0.5 to 200 L/min.
Accuracy: ± 5 %.
During automatic tests of the device, the hot wire expiratory flow sensor is calibrated.
During ventilation, the zeros is periodically recalibrated (every 2 minutes).
DEFINITION
This sensor is used to measure O2 flow (FS1), blower flow (FS2) and
inspiratory flow (FS3).
FUNCTION

Microprocessor card
PS4 / PS5
PS2
PS3
FUNCTION
Pressure sensors PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 are piezo-electric sensors.
Piezo-electricity is the special quality which certain crystals such as quartz possess, of being able
to take on an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stresses. The quantity of the electrical
charges produced is proportional over a wide range to the pressure exerted.
This type of pressure sensor has a very short response time.
PS1, PS2, PS4 and PS5 are differential pressure sensors, i.e. they measure the difference
between a given pressure value and a reference pressure (in this instance atmospheric pressure
for PS1, PS4 and PS5, and patient pressure for PS2).
PS3 is an absolute pressure sensor, i.e. it measures pressure above absolute zero.
DEFINITION
The FiO2 cell, an electrochemical sensor located in the inspiratory limb, enables
measurement of the percentage of O2 in the air - O2 mix.
FUNCTION
This sensor performs an electrolytic reaction. The current produced is proportional to the partial
pressure of oxygen; however, a compensation of this pressure is realized each time the automatic
tests are launched. Calibration is automatic during the automatic tests, and is made to 21%.
By virtue of its engineering, the lifetime of the FiO2 cell depends on the ventilator’s consumption
of O2.
The function of the FiO2 cell is influenced by pressure (atmospheric pressure and circuit pressure)
and by temperature; in order to mitigate this, software compensation is provided which takes
account of the measurements from the pressure and temperature sensors.
A 10% drop in the voltage in the cell is observed for each additional 1000 metres in altitude. For
example, for a cell with a voltage of 15 mV at sea level, the voltage will fall to 13.5 mV at 1000
metres altitude.
Ambient humidity similarly influences the measurement of oxygen, at a rate of -0.03% per %Hr at
25°C.
DEFINITION
FUNCTION
The output voltage from the temperature sensor is linearly proportional to the temperature in
degrees Celsius (+ 10.0 mV/°C).

Disassembly of any element on MONNAL T75, apart from the back plate, involves an obligatory
requirement for a full check of the device (cf. §13 Form for taking back into service).
9.1. REMINDERS
Some reminders, to prevent the connectors from being damaged:
KK-TYPE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
These connectors should normally be removed by lifting the plastic clips and then pulling on the cable.
HOSES ON THE ELECTRONIC PRESSURE SENSORS
The hoses should be removed from the electronic pressure sensors by pulling the hose with
moderate force while working the hose clear of the sensor cable support sleeve.
Avoid placing any mechanical stress on the sensor itself. Mechanical stress could sever the
electrical tabs of these sensors.
If possible, do not disconnect the hose on the sensor side but instead on the connector side.
Avoid the application of any sudden depressurising or overpressure to the sensor. To do this, do
not clamp the tube fully when connecting and de-connecting.
POLYURETHANE TUBE
A Polyurethane® tube is removed in two steps.
- Firstly, perform the same action as when connecting the pipe in the quick-fit connector.
- When it is at the bottom of its housing, press on the black bushing, hold it down, and pull on the
pipe. The tube comes out easily.
Reinstallation is not difficult, but it is advisable to ensure that the tube is sufficiently lodged in its
housing (5 to 8 mm) to avoid any leakage.
HANDLING OF COMPONENTS (AND ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN GENERAL)
The tabs of components (e.g.: EPROM) and all the components intended to go in electrical
contacts (e.g. connector base) should not be touched, because they are affected by the acidity of
the skin.
ELECTRONIC BOARDS
Use an anti-static carpet provided with a bracelet when handling an electronic board.
If you remove the board, place the soldered side on this carpet.
Handle with care and without applying any mechanical stress. Be aware of the relative mechanical
fragility of the SMDs (surface mount devices).
The disassembly/reassembly of the microprocessor board must be performed with care. In particular,
tools must not be allowed to slip, in case they damage the surrounding components or tracks.
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGES
Before touching a component, touch an earthing connection to ensure that you are free of
electrostatic charges.

10.1. PREAMBLE
In the event of using a control manometer calibrated in cmH2O, apply the following correction:
1 cmH2O = 0.981 hPa
1 hPa =1.02 cmH2O
10.2. CALIBRATION
Then press simultaneously on the dial and the centre of the touchscreen.
MACHINE CALIBRATION
After pressing the “Calibrat.“ button, the following screen appears:
AUTOMATIC TESTS
Firstly, carry out the automatic tests by pressing on the button for this.
Connect the nebulizer if necessary, and occlude the patient circuit Y-piece.
For each successful test, the symbol is displayed. If a test is not passed, the symbol is
displayed.
The symbol is displayed to specify the conditions for use (examples: no nebulizer, no O2 supply
network, operating with LP O2, etc).
At the end of the automatic tests, the message “Tests successful“ or “Failed tests“ is
displayed, together with compliance of the patient circuit and the nebulizer flow, if the latter is used.
Place a T connector on the device outlet and then connect the inspiratory limb to the expiratory
limb of the machine using an airtight hose.
Attach the T connector to a 0 - 100 mbar manometer.
Once the bar chart is available on screen, turn the dial to adjust MONNAL T75 to affect the value
of the pressure reading on the manometer.
In case of error:
1) Check that the inspiratory limb is properly connected to the expiratory limb of the machine via an
airtight hose, and check the positioning of the expiratory membrane. Redo the calibration.
2) Initiate an automatic test. If a defect is detected: undertake corrective maintenance.
3) Contact Air Liquide Medical Systems.
Stage 1) should normally be sufficient. In the event of corrective maintenance, Stage 2) can
assist in resolving the situation. If the automatic tests fail then the origin of the problem may be
diagnosed; if the tests are successful and calibration is unsuccessful, contact Air Liquide Medical
Systems.
Connect the inspiratory limb to the expiratory limb of the machine using an airtight hose.
Confirm by pressing on the dial.
Once the bar chart is available on screen, turn the dial to adjust MONNAL T75 to affect the value
of the pressure reading on the manometer, or by default to set it to the known local atmospheric
pressure.
In case of error:
The procedure to be followed is the same at that for LP sensors, with preliminary verification of the
local atmospheric pressure.
OFFSET SENSOR
Check that the O2 socket is disconnected.
Confirm by pressing on the dial.
SENSOR GAIN
When the bar chart is displayed, connect the machine to an oxygen source (cylinder or wall supply
with a manometer or a pressure monitoring system).
Once the pressure has stabilised, turn the dial to adjust MONNAL T75 to affect the value of the
pressure read on the pressure monitoring system on the oxygen source.
Then press the dial to confirm.
The message “Calibration successful“ or “Calibration failure“ is displayed on
screen.
In case of error:
1) Ensure that the sensor zero has been correctly performed with all O2 sources disconnected
(high and low pressure).
2) Ensure that the gain on the sensor is realised with O2 connected and that the pressure of the
source O2 is greater than 2.8 bar.
3) Initiate an automatic test. If a fault is detected: perform corrective maintenance.
4) Contact Air Liquide Medical Systems.
In the flow calibration procedure, the ventilator will initially deliver what it considers to be 1 L/min
(first calibration point).
Adjust this flow using the dial so as to obtain a reading corresponding to the target flow (here 1
L/min) on the external sensor.
Once the adjustment has been made, move on to the next calibration point by pressing on the dial.
Carry out this procedure for all calibration points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110,
130 L/min).
When the opening on the inspiratory valve is at maximum and no longer allows the flow required to
be delivered, for example when the device is calibrated at altitude, the procedure is stopped
automatically.
In case of error:
1) Check that the measuring device is not obstructed (presence of a balloon, etc.), check the
position of the silencer and for clogging of the filters. Redo the calibration.
2) Initiate an automatic test. If a fault is detected: perform corrective maintenance.
3) Contact Air Liquide Medical Systems.
Press on the touchscreen field for “O2 and turbine flow sensors“.
Calibration is performed automatically. The patient flow sensor being calibrated, it becomes the
calibration sensor; calibration can then be carried out internally.
Y Once calibration of the sensors for O2 flow and the blower has been performed, ensure that
the silencer is replaced in its initial position:
Small holes
upwards
In case of error:
1) Check that the measuring device is not obstructed (presence of a balloon, etc.), ensure that the
HP O2 source is connected and that the silencer is turned (obstruction on air intake). Redo the
calibration.
If a low pressure O2 source is connected, calibration may fail because the flow rate may be
insufficient.
2) Initiate an automatic test. If a fault is detected: perform corrective maintenance.
3) Contact Air Liquide Medical Systems.
Check that the pressure and flow sensors have been calibrated correctly.
Connect the inspiratory limb to the expiratory limb of the machine using an airtight hose.
Press on the dial to confirm.
In case of error:
1) Check that the inspiratory limb is properly connected to the expiratory limb on the machine using
an airtight hose, check the position of the silencer (normal position of function). Redo the
calibration.
2) Initiate an automatic test. If a fault is detected: perform corrective maintenance.
3) Contact Air Liquide Medical Systems.
To exit the calibration screen, press on the “Back“ button on the context menu.
The monitoring screen is then displayed.
