2.4 Electrical components
The Centiva/5 Plus electrical components are described in the following in order of
- Power supply
- Main engine
- Control panel.
On the next page an overview diagram shows all electrical components in one
diagram.
Most of the components are located on the two main boards

- Main board A (control panel)
- Main board B (main engine)
The following components are not located on the main boards
- EC 01, EC 02, EC 03, EC 04, EC 05, EB S10, EB S15 are located
within the mains engine’s cabinet
- EB S20 is located within the inspiratory connection
- EB M00, EB M03, EB M04, EB M08, EB M09, are located within the
pneumatic assembly
- EB M20, EB M21, EB M22 are located within the nebulizer add on of
the pneumatic assembly
- EA S05, EA S10, EA S11, EA S12, EA S13 are located within the
control panel’s cabinet.
- EA S15, EA S16, EA S20 are located within the front panel of the
control panel.


AC line supply Line supply gets via line inlet and fuse SI 0 (EC 01) to the integrated line main
switch (EC 02) from there to the transformer (EC 03). The transformer is designed to
be switched between 115 V and 230 V line voltages. For details see section 4.
“Change the line voltage”.
From the secondary side of the transformer the supply voltage gets to the
secondary transformer fuses (SI21/22) and from there to the base supply (EB P14)
via a relay switch (EB P01) that is controlled by the power management of micro B.
DC mains supply The 24 V DC main supply gets via external DC inlet (EC 04) to the DC line fuses (SI
23) and from there to the base supply (EB P14) via a relay switch (EB P02),
controlled by the power management of micro B.
Back up battery supply The internal battery supply (EC 05) gets via the battery fuse (SI 24) to the base
supply (EB P14) via a relay switch (EB P03), controlled by the power management
of micro B. To enable the recharging of the battery when necessary a charger (EB
P05) via a fuse (SI 25) feeds the battery, when the FET switch (EB P04) disconnects
the internal battery from the base supply (EB P14). This way the battery can be
charged by both main supplies, but only when the power management of micro B is
active. A deep discharge control (EB P06) cares for the internals battery life by
prohibiting deep discharging.
Power management Voltage sensors deliver information to the micro B about the current line voltage
(EB P11), the current external DC voltage (EB P12) and the internal battery voltage
(EB P13).
With the ON/OFF button (EB P00) signal micro B turns system on or off.
The micro B manages the three power sources. Line supply and DC main supply are
treated as priority mains supply. A ventilation mode can only be started, if one of
these two supplies is available.
When one of these supply lines is active micro B checks charging status of the
internal battery and recharges if necessary. If the main supply line fails the system
turns to supply via internal battery reduces power consumption by turning off the
expiratory valve heater and reducing the screen’s back light brightness.
Power supply priorities The priority in power supply is defined as

- # 1, AC line supply
- # 2, DC main supply
- # 3, back up battery supply

On board power supply micro B The main board B creates three bus supplies by a +13 V bus (EB P07) via a bus
fuse (SI 26), a +15V bus (EB P08) via a bus fuse (SI 27) and a +5 V bus (EB P09)
via a bus fuse (SI 28). For analog OP Amps a symmetrical +- 12 V supply is created
by EB P08.
The alarm system (EB S15), the fan (EB S10) and the control panel are supplied by
an OR from both +13V and +15V supply lines.
The watchdog (EB S02) controls the +13V (EBP30) and +15V (EBP31) power
supply of the safety functions of valve supply etc. In case of a detected malfunction
of one or both of the microprocessors the watchdog is able to move the system into
a fail-safe status by turning off the bus supplies.
Input micro B The following control sensors talk to the micro B.

- EB P11, EB P12, EBP13
- EB M00, EB P00, EB P10
- EB S11, EB S16, EB S20
- EB E11, EB E12
- EB M01, EB M06, EB E01, EB M11
- Data input from micro A is received via the internal serial port (EB S01, EB
S03
Output micro B Micro B talks to the following actors

- EB M02, EB M07, EB E02, EB M12, EB S25
- EB M03, EB M08, EB E03, EB E05
- EB M20, EB M21, EB M22
- Data output to micro A is made via the internal serial port (EB S01, EB
S03, EB S04)
- Data output to a serial communication ports is made via galvanic isolators
EB S30, EB P25 und SI 29.
- Data output to a nurse call system port is made via galvanic isolators EB
S35.
- Data output to the watchdog EB204.
Safety Micro B talks to the watchdog system (EB S02 on PC board B, enabling micro A to
react in case of a malfunction of micro B and to allow the watchdog to shut down
the system. The watchdog has access to the audible alarm too.

On board power supply micro A The control panel supply voltage with +13V/15V is delivered from the main engine
to the panel supply fuse (SI 1), the inverter supply fuse (SI 2) and the alarm supply
fuse (SI 4).
From SI 1 the +13V/15V (EA P08) is supplied to the +5V supply (EA P01), the 5.0V
reference (EA P03) and the alarm LED’s (EA S20). Beyond the fuse SI 3, the 5 V bus
EA P02 is distributed to the micro A (EA S00), the DCU Graphics board (EA S12),
the VGA display (EA S13), the buttons (EA S15) and the Com wheel (EA S16).
From SI 2 the +13V/15V is supplied to the back light inverter (EA S11), that
supplies the Display back lights (EA S10).
From SI 4 the +13V/15V is supplied to the alarm horn system (EA S05).
Input The interface components ComWheel (EA S16) and buttons (EA S15) talk to micro
A directly. Data input from micro B is received via the internal serial port (EA S01).
The alarm horn control (EA S06) talks to micro A.
Output Micro A controls output signals to the alarm LED’s (EA S20), the audible alarm (EA
S05) the back light inverter (EA S11) and the VGA display via the graphic DCU
board (EA S12). Data output to micro B is made via the internal serial port (EA
S01).
Safety Micro A talks to the watchdog system (EA S02) on PC board B, enabling micro B to
react in case of a malfunction of micro A. The watchdog has access to the audible
alarm too.
Microprocessor A The micro A handles all data to display in the screen, as well as audible and visual
alarm indicators within the control panel. The A EPROM is loaded with the language
specific issues. The A EEPROM allows storing a “shadow” data set. Disconnection
of the control panel during operation will cause the watchdog system to activate
and micro B to shut down the system.
Graphic display Graphic display of data in the VGA screen (EA 9) is performed via a DCU graphic
board (EA 8).

Exp. valve heater To prevent the expiratory flow sensor from condensing water the expiratory valve
assembly is heated by the Exp. valve heater (EB E10), supplied by the base supply
via the fuse SI 41. The temperature is controlled by micro B and the heater monitor
(EB E12).
AIR flow A pressure sensor for AIR supply (EB M04) tells the micro B about the pressure
status of the AIR gas supply. Micro B generates AIR flow by opening the
proportional, double staged AIR flow valve (EB M03). The AIR flow sensor (EB M01)
measures the generated AIR flow and reports this to micro B. To prevent the AIR
flow pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure sensor is periodically zeroed
(pneumatically) by use of an offset valve (EB M02).
O2 flow A pressure sensor for O2 supply (EB M09) tells the micro B about the pressure
status of the O2 gas supply. Micro B generates O2 flow by opening the
proportional, double staged O2 flow valve (EB M08). The O2 flow sensor (EB M06)
measures the generated O2 flow and reports this to micro B. To prevent the O2 flow
pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure sensor is periodically zeroed
(pneumatically) by use of an offset valve (EB M07).
Exp. Valve (PEEP) The expiratory valve is a magnetic proportional valve system (EB E03) that is
controlled by micro B. Built in the expiratory assembly the expiratory flow sensor
(EB E01) measures the expiratory flow via a stainless steel flow screen and a
pressure sensor. To prevent the exp. flow pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure
sensor is periodically zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an offset valve (EB E02).
P airway The airway pressure is measured by the airway pressure sensor (EB M11). To
prevent the airway pressure sensor from drifting, the pressure sensor is periodically
zeroed (pneumatically) by use of an offset valve (EB M12).
O2 sensor A fuel cell type O2 sensor (EB S20) measures the inspiratory O2 concentration and
reports to micro B. Calibration is semi automatic.
Over pressure relief valve A solenoid valve operates as an over pressure relief valve (EB S25) controlled by
micro B.

Exp. valve locking motor system The expiration valve locking motor system (EB E05) is controlled by micro B in
current limiting and movement direction.
Nebulizer valves The micro B controls the nebulizer valves (EB M20, EB M21 and EB M22) in gas
selection between O2 and Air and duration of opening.
Watchdog The watchdog (EB S02) controls both microprocessors A and B and turns off the +
15V WD and +13 V WD supply line, in case of detected malfunction of program or
micros. Thus the system is able to shut down in a fail-safe mode.
Fan To avoid possible O2 concentration increase within the housing, caused by leaks, a
fan (EB S10) is exchanging the gas within the housing. The fan supply is fused by
SI11. The fan’s proper operation is monitored by a rotation monitor (EB S11) that
reports to the micro B.
Microprocessor B The micro B handles all controls and sensors, as well as the audible alarm indicator
within the main engine and the serial port communication. The B EPROM is loaded
with the control software. The B EEPROM allows storing a “shadow” data set.
A and B EEPROM Both micros store data, such as calibration and “learned” values into the according
EEPROM in a “father” and “grandfather” sequence. For safety reasons this
sequence is doubled, which results in total in four data store sequences. That is
why successfully performing five (5) system test is necessary for rewriting of all
storage levels after replacing PC board A or B.

2.5 Pneumatic components

The Centiva/5 Plus’s pneumatic components are described in the following.
On the next page an overview diagram shows all pneumatic components in one
diagram.
Most of the components are located on the pneumatic assembly.
The following components are not located on the pneumatic assembly

- EB M01, EB M06, EB M11, EB E01, P05, P15, P22, P28 are located
within the PC board B
- EB 20, P23 are located within the inspiratory connector
- P26, P27, P29 are located within the expiratory valve system


Gas supply The gas supply connectors for O2 (P 01) and AIR (P 11) are screw connectors that
can be localized to country specific needs (NIST; DISS etc.). Within the gas
connectors there are easy to remove sinter filters for each gas, to protect the
system from particles.
Pressure reducer Pressure reducers for O2 (P 31) and AIR (P 32) regulate the input pressure to a
stabilized level of approx. 2.8 bar (39,5 PSI).
Pressure sensor Pressure sensors for O2 (P 02) and AIR (P 12) monitor the gas pressure input to be
above a minimum operating pressure of 1.9 bar (27 PSI).
O2 flow control Two proportional flow valves control the O2 flow, operating as double staged
valves. The first stage valve (P 03) controls the flow between 0 and approx. 43
l/min. Flow demands beyond this level will cause the second stage valve (P 04) to
open. A flow screen (P 06) generates a differential pressure from the generated
flow, which is measured by the O2 flow pressure sensor (EB M06). The offset valve
(P 05) allows zeroing the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset
calibration.
AIR flow control Two proportional flow valves control the AIR flow, operating as double staged
valves. The first stage valve (P 13) controls the flow between 0 and approx. 43
l/min. Flow demands beyond this level will cause the second stage valve (P 14) to
open. A flow screen (P 16) generates a differential pressure from the generated
flow, which is measured by the O2 flow pressure sensor (EB M01). The offset valve
(P 15) allows zeroing the pressure sensor (pneumatically) for online offset
calibration.
Airway pressure The airway pressure within the breathing system is measured by the airway
pressure sensor (EB M11). The offset valve (P 22) allows zeroing the pressure
sensor (pneumatically) for online offset calibration.

Free breathing valve To avoid sub atmospheric pressure a free breathing valve (P 19) allows ambient air
intake in case of a gas supply problem.
Overpressure relief valves To avoid airway pressures beyond a level of 75 mbar (cmH2O) a passive over
pressure relief valve (P 20) is provided. To avoid airway pressures beyond an
adjustable level, set by the Pmax setting, an active over pressure relief valve (P 21)
is provided.
O2 sensor The inspiratory O2 sensor (EB S20) is located within the inspiratory port.
Patient connection The breathing circuit (P 24) connects the machine via the inspiratory port (P 23)
and the expiratory port (P 26) to the patient.
Expiratory valve The airway pressure within the system is controlled by the expiration pressure valve
(P 27).
Expiratory flow A flow screen (P 29) is built into the expiratory valve assembly and generates a
differential pressure from the generated flow, which is measured by the Exp. flow
pressure sensor (EB E01. The offset valve (P 28) allows zeroing the pressure sensor
(pneumatically) for online offset calibration. The second port of the differential
pressure is ambient.

Special note To interpret deviation of measured data be aware, that:

• Values for compliance, resistance and leakage depend upon the
breathing circuit used.
• The compliance and leakage values represent the entire system
(breathing circuit, nebulizer (if applicable) and ventilator).
• The resistance value represents the inspiratory resistance of breathing
circuit and ventilator up to the y-piece.
• Filters and HME may significantly increase the resistance values.
• Other breathing circuit designs, such as co-axial systems, may
significantly increase the resistance values.
The nebulizer test is always performed, but the system detects automatically, if a
nebulizer is connected to the breathing circuit.
• If yes, the particular nebulizer flow of this type of jet nebulizer is measured,
displayed and stored within the EEPROM.
• If no, the nebulizer flow test is bypassed and the last measured flow data
(stored in the EEPROM) is used for compensation, if the user activates the
nebulizer function later.
Because of this measurement capability Centiva/5 Plus is able to learn the
particular jet nebulizer type, used by this user or hospital.

4.1.3 In-operation test During operation the Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator continuously checks the
following safety relevant functions and parameters:
• Inspiratory flow sensors
• Expiratory flow sensor
• Inspiratory pressure sensor
• O2 sensor
• AIR gas supply
• O2 gas supply
• Line power supply
• Battery charging status
• Internal power supply
• Fan
• Heater
• Buttons and ComWheel
• Microprocessor A and B
• Watchdog
• Checksums of all safety relevant data
If a malfunction is identified, the system will display alarms or messages on the

screen. For details of error messages refer to section 5.3.4 “Messages during
operation”.

4.2 Test lung test
The Test lung test is used to verify the overall functionality of the ventilator and to
observe the results of the continuous in-operation tests. The power-up test and the
system test of the Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator verify all safety relevant functions.
Perform the power-up test and the system test with a standard disposable
breathing circuit with:
• 22 mm corrugated dual lumen tube

18. Operation time = total time, device was in a ventilation mode.
The service mode displays the following PEEP valve data (Exp. valve):
19. G = gain value
20. GR = gain value corrected
21. O = offset value
22. OR = offset value corrected
23. K = correction factor

4.4 Service mode check

To identify possible malfunctions displayed as a result of the system test, the
following sequence should be used to verify proper gas supply and operation of the
inspiratory and expiratory valves.
1. Ensure proper O2, AIR and line supplies are connected before turning ON the
system.
2. Wait for the power-up test to complete, and then start the service mode
according to 4.3.
3. Check the actual sensor offset values for Pat. Pressure, Exp. flow, AIR flow and
O2 flow to be in the “no re-adjustment necessary” range according to section
9.9 “Sensor data ranges”.
4. Connect the inspiratory and expiratory ports with one tube.
5. Verify proper AIR supply pressure and proper function of the AIR pressure
switch by AIR flow “ON”.
6. Verify proper AIR flow function by selecting “AIR” and “x 10” and increasing the
flow by use of the ComWheel.
7. Use the ComWheel to verify that the AIR flow can be returned to zero.
8. Verify proper O2 supply pressure and proper function of the O2 pressure switch
by O2 flow “ON”.
9. Verify proper O2 flow function by selecting “O2 ” and “x 10” and increasing the
flow by use of the ComWheel.
10. Use the ComWheel to verify that the O2 flow can be returned to zero.
11. Verify proper expiratory flow function by comparing the data displayed with the
set O2 flow.
12. Select “AIR”, “x 1” and adjust the ComWheel for an AIR flow of 20 L/Min.
13. Verify proper Airway pressure function by selecting “Pressure” and increasing
the pressure setting by use of the ComWheel.
14. Verify proper O2 concentration while changing Air and O2 flows.

4.5 Software and hardware revision

The Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator’s software is stored in two (2) independent
EPROM:
• The A EPROM is located on the control panel board (PC board A)
• The B EPROM is located on the main board (PC board B).
Note Both EPROM need to be at the same revision level. During the power-up test, the
system compares the software revisions in both EPROM. If they do not match, an
error message is displayed in the message box.
In normal operation mode during power-up and system test the current software
and hardware revision is displayed at the top left in the screen. See chapter 1.1.1.
In service mode the current software and hardware revision is displayed at the top
left of the service menu.
The software revision code “3.nn.p” identifies:

- 3. = Centiva/5 Plus
- nn. = current base software release
- p = current patch number of software release (bug fixing level)
The hardware revision code “o / r” identifies:

- o = front panel hardware revision
- r = main engine hardware revision.

4.6 Ventilator “on-time”
The Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator’s software stores two “on times”.

• Power-on time
• Operation time.
The power-on time recognizes the total time that the system is connected to line
power supply AND is switched ON, no matter in what mode.
The operation time only counts the total time, the system is in a (any) ventilation
mode.
Both time information are displayed in the Service mode screen.

4.7 Calibrations
In the Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator the following components may be calibrated

during service:
1. O2 concentration sensor
2. AIR flow sensor
3. O2 flow sensor
4. Expiratory flow sensor
5. Airway pressure sensor
6. Battery charging end voltage.
These procedures may be performed in any order. However, the procedures are
presented in a logical sequence to minimize the amount of disassembly and
reassembly required. This sequence also ensures best matching of inspiratory and
expiratory flow and volume data.
When performing the O2 calibration you do not need to open the system’s housing.
For all other calibrations open the main engine housing first, according to section
7.2.4.
Important note The expiratory flow sensor calibration is performed by the Centiva/5 Plus’s system
test every time, the system test is performed. That replaces the routine calibration
of the expiratory flow sensor.
Only in case of a B-Board change, requiring a basic calibration of the system or in
case of problems with the expiratory flow sensor data a re-calibration procedure is
necessary.
Important note Rated values may vary with software revisions.
Important note Always allow the Centiva/5 Plus to warm up for at least 15 minutes prior to any
calibration procedure.
BTPS correction note All software revisions have BTPS correction in operation mode. To ease servicing
this BTPS correction is not active when in service mode.

4.7.1 O2 sensor The Centiva/5 Plus CC ventilator performs an automatic calibration of the O2
calibration sensor during the O2 calibration routine. This routine requires an O2 gas supply.
The calibration routine performs the 100% (gain) calibration only.
Special notice To ensure proper gas mixture at the O2 sensor, connect a tube to the inspiratory
connector.
There are two ways to access the O2 calibration routine:

• In the user system test menu.
• In the service mode.
The calibration routines are identical.

sensors expected lifetime is > 12 months. The coming end of the lifetime is
indicated by more frequent required calibration procedures. The end of the O2
sensors life and a necessary replacement is indicated by a non-successful
calibration procedure.
Special notice After performing an O2 calibration, flush the system with AIR. This will avoid
possible misinterpretations of the FiO2 measurement, caused by high
concentrations of O2 within the internal tubes and pneumatic components.

9.9 Sensor data ranges

The following data ranges deal with the four pressure sensors, used to measure
• Pat. pressure = Airway pressure
• Exp. flow = Expiration flow, measured via differential pressure
• AIR flow = Inspiration flow AIR, measured via differential pressure
• O2 flow = Inspiration flow O2, measured via differential pressure
The sensor offset values are defined in different accepted ranges

• No readjust range = Offset value is within an area where re-
adjustment is not necessary.
• Max. auto correct range = Offset values are automatically
corrected by the software during auto zeroing
For sensor offset values that are outside the “No readjust” offset re-adjustment is
necessary.
According to the sensor’s warm-up drift always allow the Centiva/5 to warm up for
at least 15 minutes, before taking data or performing any calibration.
Rated values vary with software revisions.
Type of sensor Rated (Center) No readjustment necessary range Max. automatic correction range
Pat. pressure 0.00 mbar - 0.8 to + 0.8 mbar - 3.0 to + 3.0 mbar
Exp. flow 500 digits 375 to 625 digits 25 to 975 digits
AIR flow 250 digits 175 to 325 digits 25 to 475 digits
O2 flow 250 digits 175 to 325 digits 25 to 475 digits

9.10 Serial data transfer
Centiva/5 provides capabilities to transfer ventilation parameter, pressure - and

flow waveform, all measured values and alarms to an external data management
system via a serial data protocol.
Centiva/5 provides two protocols on demand to a data management system:

- Ohmeda Com 1.1
- SalTim™ Com 1.0
Without any request from an external data management on the serial port
Centvia/5 disables the serial data transfer.
With a request from an external data management on the serial port Centvia/5
activates the Ohmeda Com 1.1 protocol as the default.
With a special request for the SalTim protocol from an external data management
on the serial port Centvia/5 activates the SalTim Com 1.0 protocol.
Connection Connect a RS 232 data cable at the rear side of Centiva/5 at the serial data
connection (D-Sub 9 female) with the following Pin constellation:
- Pin 2 receive data
- Pin 3 transmit data
- Pin 5 signal ground
Correct connection is provided with serial cable P/N BE-120116.
Ohmeda Com 1.0 Centiva/5 uses the Ohmeda com 1.0 serial protocol (AESTIVA 7900 & 7100
Ventilators) as the default protocol. This allows connecting Centiva/5 to all data
management systems using this protocol.
When connecting to a /5 system use the DIS 7900 Non-Aestiva connection box.
This box provides the correct D-Sub 9 connector to connect to the Centiva/5. Do
not use the DIS 7900 AESTIVA with a D-Sub 15.
Proper communication with the DEIO Clinisoft data management system is tested.
For more details refer to information provided by the data management distributor.
SalTim Com 1.0 Centiva/5 uses the SalTim 1.0 serial protocol upon request by CED™ software. This
allows connecting Centiva/5 to CED software systems for service and data
management purpose.
Connect the RS 232 data cable at the rear side of Centiva/5 at the serial data
connection (D-Sub 9).
For more details refer to information about CED software provided by TIM GmbH
(www.tim-gmbh.de).
