Nozzle unit
The plastic NOZZLE UNIT contains a valve diaphragm.
The valve diaphragm, controlled by the INSPIRATORY
SOLENOID, regulates the gas flow through the GAS
MODULE.
The complete plastic nozzle unit must be replaced
during the ”Preventive maintenance”.
After replacement, allow the diaphragm to settle
during approx. 10 minutes before gas pressure is
connected to the GAS MODULE.
Inspiratory solenoid
The gas flow through the GAS MODULE is regulated by
the INSPIRATORY SOLENOID via the NOZZLE UNIT.
The current supplied to the solenoid is regulated so
that the gas module will deliver a gas flow according
to the settings on the User Interface.
Gas module key
The GAS MODULES are provided with a mechanical key
to prevent that the module is mounted in the wrong
slot.
The key consists of a plastic guide mounted under-
neath the module and a corresponding guide
mounted in the patient unit.
Connector muff
The CONNECTOR MUFF connects the GAS MODULE outlets
to the INSPIRATORY PIPE inlet.
Inspiratory pipe
The INSPIRATORY PIPE leads the gas from the CONNECTOR
MUFF to the INSPIRATORY OUTLET.
The INSPIRATORY PIPE comprises:
• Housing and locking lever for the O2CELL with its
bacteria filter.
• Housing for the SAFETY VALVE.
• Connection for measurement of inspiratory
pressure.
The pipe is provided with internal flanges with the
purpose to improve mixing of O2and Air.
O2cell
The O2CELL is mounted in a housing on the INSPIRATORY
PIPE and is protected by a bacteria filter.
Maintenance including exchange of bacteria filter
according to the User´s manual. The bacteria filter
must also be replaced during the ”Preventive
maintenance”.
The O2cell gives an output voltage proportional to the
partial pressure of oxygen inside the Inspiratory pipe.
At constant ambient pressure this output is
proportional to the O2concentration in percent. In
each O2cell, the output signal will stay at a fairly
constant level usually within 10–17 mV in normal air
and at standard barometric pressure during the life
time of the cell. The cell should be replaced when the
output level has started to decrease. In this situation,
repeated calibration (i. e. Pre-use check) of the O2
concentration is required. The life time of the cell is
affected by the O2concentration. With a
concentration (at the cell) in % and expected cell life
time in hours the following applies at 25oC (77oF):
O2Conc. x Expected cell life = 500 000% hours.
The O2cell is automatically calibrated each time a Pre-
use check is performed (if O2is connected to the
ventilator).
An ID PROM is integrated into each O2cell. Its ID
information and remaining lifetime can be read by the
Servo…System.
Temperature sensor
A TEMPERATURE SENSOR is integrated into the connector
on top of the O2CELL. This sensor measures the
temperature inside the INSPIRATORY SECTION.
The output signal, corresponding to the temperature
in the INSPIRATORY SECTION, is used for regulation of the
INTERNAL FAN.
Inspiratory pressure tube
The INSPIRATORY PRESSURE TUBE connects the INSPIRATORY
PIPE with the INSPIRATORY PRESSURE TRANSDUCER.
A bacteria filter protects the pressure transducer on
PC 1781 PRESSURE TRANSDUCER from contamination.
Maintenance including exchange of bacteria filter
according to User´s manual. The bacteria filter must
also be replaced during the ”Preventive
maintenance”.
