Technical Service Bulletin #16

Rev.B

Model: 731 Series Ventilators

Item: Change Notice – Obsolete Service Kits
Released to: Authorized Impact Service Centers, DoD Medical Maintenance
Facilities
Date: Aug 2014
NOTICE: There has been a design change in Impact’s 731 Series Ventilators. The user interface
has been changed from a Membrane Panel(MP) to Button Board(BB). The Button Board
components (including knobs and bezels) are not interchangeable with the older Membrane
Panel components. The new Button Board can be easily identified (see below). The change is
effective immediately for EMV+, Eagle II and AEV models. This change is not yet in effect for
731s sold to the military or customers considered to require airworthiness(AWR). Impact will
maintain a limited number of Membrane Panel associated kits to be used ONLY for military
vents. This change affects the availability of several service kits.

How to identify a Button Board for the 731 Series Ventilator

POWER OFF/ON switch and

ROTARY ENCODER can be
seen protruding through the case
in Button Board vents.
Below is a list of Membrane Panel kits affected and their replacement numbers for commercial
ventilators. If the ventilator has been identified as a Membrane Panel vent then use the
replacement kit number(s) listed.

O2 Valve Assembly Kit #:712-0731-30
Background: Some RCS users have experienced error messages and symptoms that may indicate
an Oxygen Valve issue. Return all replaced O2 valve to Impact for analysis. Messages and
symptoms include:
Symptoms/Error Message
Failures in the valve portion of the RCS
Functional Test
“Curve not sufficiently linear” error
message
A leaking sound and noticeable flow from
the GAS OUTPUT fitting when oxygen
input is pressurized even in the OFF mode
Service Code 1174 on the ventilator
Resolution
Check the RCS setup and rerun the test.
Check for leaks at the GAS OUTPUT location.
If leaks are found – replace the O2 valve.
Repeat the O2 valve calibration. If repeated
tests fail then replace the O2 valve.
Leaks can occur if fine dust and debris
accumulate on the valve seats. Replace the O2
valve and Oxygen inlet filter.
This code can be a combination of the
hardware associated with the O2 valve and
oxygen flow measurement. Replace the O2
valve.
Note: This may not indicate an O2 valve that
has malfunctioned. The O2 valve may be
suited for another set of hardware components
on another vent.
