Quality and Assurance in Anaesthesia

THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENT MONITORING

WARNING

Anaesthetic systems have the capability to deliver mixtures of gases and vapours to the patient which could cause injury or death unless controlled by a qualified anaesthetist.

There can be considerable variation in the effect of anaesthetic drugs on individual patients so that the setting and observation of control levels on the anaesthesia systems does not in itself ensure total patient safety.

Anaesthesia system monitors and patient monitors are very desirable aids for the anaesthetist but are not true clinical monitors as the condition of the patient is also dependent on his respiration and the functioning of his cardio-vascular system.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE ELEMENTS

ARE MONITORED FREQUENTLY AND

REGULARLY AND THAT ANY OBSERVA-

TIONS ARE GIVEN PRECEDENCE OVER

MACHINE CONTROL PARAMETERS IN

JUDGING THE STATE OF A CLINICAL

PROCEDURE.

IMPORTANT

Servicing and Repairs

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

The following WARNINGS and

CAUTIONS must be read and

understood before using this anaesthetic apparatus.

WARNINGS

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

This apparatus is designed for use only with non flammable anaesthetic agents. It must not be used with or in close proximity to flammable anaesthetic agents, due to a possible fire or explosion hazard.

Exterior panels must not be removed by unauthorised personnel and the apparatus must not be operated with such panels missing.

On machines with an electrical power supply, there is a possible electric shock hazard.

No oil, grease or other flammable lubricant or sealant must be used on any part of the machine in close proximity to medical gas distribution components.

There is a risk of fire or explosion.

When attaching cylinders of medical gases ensure that the machine yoke and cylinder faces are dust free and clean and that the sealing washer provided is in position between the cylinder valve and the yoke.

Tighten the yoke securely before opening the cylinder valve. Dust and dirt presents a fire hazard in the presence of high pressure gas.

Leakage of high pressure gas can cause serious injury.

Anaesthesia apparatus must be connected to an anaesthetic gas scavenging system (AGSS) to dispose of waste gas and prevent possible health hazards to operating room staff.

This requirement must be observed

during test procedures as well as during use with a patient.

Prima SP machines must only be used with Sigma Delta vaporizers

(or other vaporizers approved by

Penlon Limited) installed by means of the Cagemount or Selectatec system.

Free-standing vaporizers may be accidentally tipped, resulting in excessive and uncalibrated volumes of anaesthetic drug entering the breathing system

Do not install or connect any vaporizers of any description between the Common Gas Outlet

(CGO) and the breathing system unless they are specifically designed for such use. (If this is done, the oxygen flush flow will pass through the vaporizer and may result in gross overdosage when the flush valve is operated.)

The breathing system which conveys gases from the anaesthetic machine to the patient and disposes of expired gases is a vital part of the anaesthetic delivery system.

Because breathing systems require frequent cleaning and disinfection they are not a permanent part of the anaesthetic machine and therefore cannot be directly under the control of the anaesthetic machine manufacturer.

However, we strongly recommend that only breathing systems which have been approved and authorised by Penlon for use with the Prima SP range should be employed.

This is particularly important when mechanical ventilation is employed.

When mechanical ventilation is employed the patient breathing system must be connected directly to an over-pressure relief valve to prevent the possibility of barotrauma.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

9.

Always perform a pre-use check of the machine, including vaporizers, ventilator, circle absorber and monitors before clinical use.

Follow the pre-use checklist (see section 5) as a minimum requirement.

Many clinical accidents occur because of a failure to check for correct function.

10.

The machine must not be used if any of the alarm, monitoring or protection system devices are not functioning correctly.

11.

The machine must not be fitted with more than four operator accessible mains socket outlets. There is a risk of an excessive leakage current.

12.

The use of antistatic or electrically conductive breathing hoses is not recommended when using high frequency electrical surgery equipment (e.g. : Diathermy).

Burns may be caused.

14.

Before any electrically powered machine is used clinically for the first time, check that the hospital engineering department has carried out an earth continuity test.

15.

Before using any additional electrical equipment powered by the auxiliary sockets on the machine, check that the additional equipment is correctly wired and is earthed through its plug.

A missing or defective protective earth conductor may increase earth leakage currents to the patient to values exceeding the allowable limits, resulting in ventricular fibrillation, or interference with the pumping action of the heart.

16.

Additional equipment placed on the top shelf must be securely attached.

Take care when moving a fully loaded machine, particularly when negotiating ramps.

Check that hoses or power leads are not trailing on the floor.

CAUTIONS

5.

6.

Flowmeter needle valves are designed to seal with light torque and may be damaged if tightened excessively.

Take particular care with the carbon dioxide flowmeter control (if fitted); do not force the control knob past either the fully open or fully closed positions.

Open cylinder valves slowly to avoid damage to pressure reducing valves.

Ensure that cylinder valves are at least one full turn open when in use.

Under no circumstances should anaesthetic agents be used for cleaning purposes.

After use, always disconnect the machine from the piped gas supply and/or close the gas cylinder valves.

Mechanical AHD system - The oxygen flow control is restricted to prevent the needle valve from fully closing. This ensures a minimum basal flow of oxygen.

DO NOT attempt to close the flow to zero.

Do not overtighten.

Compressed gas supplies must be

clean and dry.

WARNINGS

1.

We recommend calibration of the oxygen monitor every time the system is turned on, as a safety precaution.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Do not attempt to open the fuel cell. The sensor contains a small quantity of electrolyte, classified as a harmful irritant which is potentially hazardous.

ALWAYS check the integrity of the sensor assembly before use. See section 3.4.

Once exhausted, the sensor must be disposed of according to hospital, local, state and federal regulations.

The sensor measures oxygen partial pressure, and its output will rise and fall due to pressure change.

An increase in pressure of 10% at he sensor inlet will produce a 10% increase in sensor output.

Using the oxygen monitor

6.

7.

When the battery voltage has fallen to the minimum safe level, the oxygen monitor will automatically shut down to avoid permanent damage to the battery.

If the internal battery is fully discharged, the oxygen monitor will not function in the event of mains power failures.

The battery must be recharged before the oxygen monitor is used clinically, otherwise back-up time can not be guaranteed.

See section 3.13.

CAUTIONS

1. Do not sterilise the oxygen sensor or control unit components.

These components are not compatible with sterilisation techniques and damage may result.

2.

3.

Do not autoclave or expose the sensor to high temperatures.

If the sensor shows signs of being affected by condensation, dry the sensor with soft tissue.

Do not use heat to dry the sensor.

NOTES

1.

The

O2 SENSOR FAULT alarm indicates that one of the following conditions has occurred.

a) Internal electrical fault b) Software/electronics fault c) Oxygen sensor fault.

2.

3.

The concentration read-out may, in certain conditions of excess pressure, show a value above 100%.

To accommodate these conditions it is possible to set the high alarm value up to 105% (see section 5).

To maintain maximum sensor life, always remove the unit from the breathing circuit after use.

DESCRIPTION

3.1 Framework and General

Construction

Frame

The machine has a cast base, extruded aluminium uprights, and aluminium panels.

Mobility

Trolley models have four castors, with a brake on each of the front castors. The castors are five inches diameter with antistatic rubber.

A footrest is mounted on the front of the machine.

To aid manoeuverability, two side handles are provided.

Mounting posts and brackets

A ‘T-slot’ mounting system is built into each side upright, to allow the use of pole-mount brackets, V-brackets, and ventilator mounting brackets.

The pole mount upright (see illustration) can be used to mount a complete AV-series

Ventilator, or bellows unit only.

DESCRIPTION

3.2

Gas Circuit

Gas Supplies

For each size machine, a variety of cylinder and pipeline combinations can be added to the basic specification of oxygen and nitrous oxide cylinder and pipeline supply.

For example, the Prima SP102 can be supplied with an extra two gas cylinders (choose from one additional oxygen, one additional nitrous oxide, one carbon dioxide, one air), and one extra pipeline supply - Air.

Note a) Kits are available for fitment to existing machines - see section

9 (Ordering Information).

b) Carbon dioxide is not available on US specification machines.

Cylinder Yokes

The cylinder yokes are rear mounted and conform with ISO standards for pin-index fitting.

To ensure that only cylinders of the appropriate gas may be installed the yokes are designed so that the retaining latch cannot be closed unless the index pins are fully engaged.

Pipeline Inlets

Machines can be fitted with up to three pipeline gas inlets mounted on the rear of the machine.

Pipeline supply hoses are connected by non-interchangeable, threaded unions.

Filters

To prevent dirt entering the gas system, cylinder yokes and pipeline inlets are fitted with filters.

Gas Inlet Block

Each individual gas supply, from a cylinder or pipeline, is routed through a separate gas block.

Each gas block has an integral high

7 pressure gauge tapping for direct mounting of a pressure gauge, and a non-return valve to prevent back flow of gas.

In addition, gas blocks for cylinder supplies have a diaphragm pressure regulator to reduce the pressure of the compressed gas supply, and a pressure relief valve, factory set to prevent any pressure build up under the diaphragm should any leakage develop across the reducing valve seat.

Secondary Pressure Regulator

For oxygen, nitrous oxide, and air, a second stage regulator reduces the pressure supplied to the flowmeter controls (see section 4.4).

The fitment of a secondary regulator for oxygen and nitrous oxide enhances the performance of the mechanical AHD system fitted to some models.

Secondary regulation of the air supply is utilised to allow connection to high pressure air pipeline supplies.

Carbon Dioxide Flow Restrictor

On machines with a carbon dioxide supply, an integral, factory set, flow valve is fitted to restrict the flow of carbon dioxide to 500 ml/min.

3.3 Gas Circuit Schematics

Gas circuit schematics for: a) Non-AHD machines b) Mechanical AHD machines are shown on the following pages, and both show a four-gas machine.

DESCRIPTION

3.4 Gas Supply Safety

Devices

3.4.1

Gas Supply Cut-off Device

A gas cut-off device, triggered by low oxygen supply pressure, cuts the supply of nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide (if fitted).

The cut-off operates when the oxygen pressure falls below 172 kPa (25 psi).

Gas supplies are reinstated only when the oxygen supply pressure rises above 227 kPa (33 psi).

3.4.4 Air/N

3.4.2

Oxygen Supply Failure

Warning Whistle

A whistle gives an audible warning when there is a reduction of oxygen supply pressure.

Operated solely by the remaining oxygen in the machine system, the warning whistle is prolonged by an oxygen reservoir built into the gas circuit, allowing a minimum warning whistle of 7 seconds duration.

The whistle will start to sound when the pressure falls to approximately 172 kPa (25 psi), and will continue to sound until the pressure falls to approximately 70 kPa (10 psi).

3.4.5

Oxygen Supply Visual

Indicator

The indicator (B) is operated from the oxygen supply and shows GREEN when the supply is at working pressure, and RED if the pressure falls.

3.4.6 CO

2

Flow Restriction

The maximum flow of carbon dioxide is restricted to 500 ml/min by a pre-set flow control valve.

This valve is not user-adjustable.

Note that carbon dioxide is not available for

US specification machines.

Oxygen consumption of the whistle is approximately 2 L/min when sounding and nil at other times.

3.4.3

Fresh Gas Pressure Relief

Valve

A pressure relief valve is mounted between the vaporizer back bar and the common gas outlet (CGO) on the inside face of the machine right hand upright.

3.4.7

Mechanical AHD

A mechanical link between the oxygen control valve and a needle valve in the nitrous oxide flow ensures that the machine delivers a fresh gas mixture with a minimum oxygen concentration of 30% ±3%, irrespective of the flow of nitrous oxide set by the anaesthetist.

With the nitrous oxide control valve fully open, the oxygen and nitrous oxide flows are then both controlled by the oxygen control valve.

See section 3.5 for a full description

It is designed to prevent fresh gas being delivered to the breathing system at pressures exceeding 39 kPa (5.4 psi).

This valve also protects machine components against excessive pressure in the event of a total blockage of the CGO.

10

3.4.8

Low Pressure Gas Tubing

Diameter-indexed tubing is used for the low pressure gas system - see section 4.

DESCRIPTION

3.5 Mechanical AHD (Anti

Hypoxic Device)

3.5.1 Introduction

The Mechanical AHD is housed within the flowmeter module and comprises a gear linkage between the oxygen control valve and a needle valve in the nitrous oxide flow.

The system is designed to control the relative flow rates of oxygen and nitrous oxide.

A predetermined minimum oxygen concentration of 30% ±3% in the oxygen / nitrous oxide mixture is maintained over the flow range to ensure that a hypoxic mixture is not supplied from the anaesthetic machine.

3.5.2

Gas Delivery Switch

The Gas Delivery Switch (A) operates on the oxygen supply and must be in the ‘On’ position for normal operation of the anaesthetic machine.

The switch consequently controls the supply of all gases provided with a gas cut-off triggered by a predetermined pressure level within the oxygen supply (see section 3.4.1).

A whistle (oxygen failure warning whistle) will sound briefly whenever the gas delivery switch is turned on or off. Note that the whistle functions normally if the oxygen supply fails (see section 3.4.2).

The switch also controls the electrical supply to the optional Flowmeter Lighting unit and

O

2

Monitor (see section 3.13.2).

3.5.3

Gear Linkage and Nitrous

Oxide Control Valves

A gear linkage connects the oxygen control knob on the flowmeter module and a needle valve in the nitrous oxide flow.

This linkage limits the flow of nitrous oxide relative to the flow of oxygen set by the user.

Note that this needle valve acts as the primary nitrous oxide valve, and is actuated only by movement of the oxygen control.

A

B

11

NOTE

Machines with an Air supply option are fitted with an Air/N

2

O Interlock switch (B).

The machine will NOT deliver a mixture of

Air and nitrous oxide - see section 3.4.4) .

This switch must be in the N

2

O position to allow a flow of Nitrous Oxide.

The nitrous oxide control knob on the flowmeter module operates a secondary needle valve in the nitrous oxide flow. It is positioned downstream of the primary valve and therefore is used only to restrict the flow already set by the primary valve, which itself has been determined by the position of the oxygen control knob.

Therefore for any oxygen flow set by the user, the mixture delivered will still contain a minimum 30% ±3% oxygen even with the nitrous oxide control knob fully open. As the nitrous oxide knob is progressively closed, the oxygen content of the mixture increases to 100%.

3.5.4

Oxygen Basal Flow

To allow the system to function correctly, an oxygen basal flow is continuously supplied

(see section 4.8). This basal flow can only be turned on and off by using the Gas

Delivery Switch (A).

CAUTION The oxygen control is restricted to prevent the needle valve from fully closing. This ensures a minimum oxygen basal flow.

DO NOT attempt to close the flow to zero.

Do not overtighten the knob.

DESCRIPTION

3.6

Pressure Gauges

Pressure gauges (50 mm diameter) are located on the front panel below the flowmeter bank.

The gauges for the third and fourth gases (if fitted) are positioned between oxygen and nitrous oxide. Unused gauge positions are blanked out.

All pressure gauges are colour coded and labelled for the gases whose pressures they are indicating.

Cylinder contents are marked CYLINDER and pipeline pressure gauges are marked

PIPELINE.

The gauges are calibrated in kPa x 100.

DESCRIPTION

3.7

Flowmeters and

Controls

3.7.1

All models

The flowmeters, mounted behind the perspex cover on the left hand side of the machine, are length-indexed to prevent inadvertent, incorrect installation.

All floats indicate flow rate in line with the upper surface as shown below.

Read flow at this level

Each flow control valve is positioned directly underneath the flow tube assembly to which it corresponds, and the control knob is colour-coded for the gas which it controls.

The oxygen flow control knob is made physically distinguishable from the other flow controls for identification by touch in accordance with ISO standards.

When fitted, air and carbon dioxide flowmeters are always installed in the inner positions on the flowmeter assembly. These positions are blanked out if air or carbon dioxide are not specified for the machine.

NOTE

Machines with an Air supply option are fitted with an Air/N

2

O Interlock switch (The machine will NOT deliver a mixture of Air and nitrous oxide - see section 3.4.4) .

This switch must be in the N

2

O position to allow a flow of Nitrous Oxide.

The gas delivery switch, positioned to the right of the flowmeter bank, controls the

13 supply of oxygen and must be in the ON position for normal operation of the machine.

Flow control of each gas is achieved by a needle valve comprising a polished stainless steel needle mounted concentrically in a common manifold block. To minimise wear and material pick-up the needle seat is manufactured from silver. The flow control knob is turned counter-clockwise to increase the gas flow.

CAUTION

Needle valves are designed to seal with light torque and may be damaged if tightened excessively.

DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.

3.7.2

Optional Dual Cascade

Flow Tubes

The flow of gas through dual cascade system flow tubes always flows through the low-flow tube first. The high-flow tube will not show any flow until more than 1 L/min is set.

At flows above 1 L/min, the high-flow tube reading indicates the rate of flow for that gas.

3.7.3

Vaporizers

CAUTION

Read the instruction manual supplied with the vaporizer before clinical use.

3.8.1

Vaporizer Mounting

Systems

Vaporizers for the administration of volatile anaesthetic agents can be fitted to customer’s requirements as follows:

(a) Up to two Penlon Sigma Delta

Selectatec compatible vaporizers

(interlock or non-interlock), mounted on a Selectatec compatible backbar.

(b) One or two Penlon Sigma Delta

Cagemount vaporizers mounted on a

Modura rail (check that relevant national standards for your country allow fitment of more than one cagemount type vaporizer).

WARNING

Vaporizers must always be securely mounted, and never used free-standing.

Unmounted vaporizers may be accidentally tipped resulting in uncalibrated and excessive volumes of liquid anaesthetic drug entering the breathing system.

Vaporizers of any description must not be installed or connected between the Common

Gas Outlet (CGO) and the Breathing

System, unless they are specifically designed for such use. (If this is done, the oxygen flush flow will pass through the vaporizer, and severe overdosage may result).

3.8.2

Selectatec Compatible

Vaporizers

Selectatec compatible vaporizers, e.g. the

Sigma Delta with the Selectatec compatibility block, may be mounted on a universal back bar manifold built onto the

Prima range as an option.

Single and two-station manifolds are available, with each station fitted with two valve capsule assemblies for vaporizer connector block attachment.

When a vaporizer is installed on a station the valves on that station open automatically to allow gas flow into and out of the vaporizer.

Removal of the vaporizer from the station closes the valves on that station.

Selectatec Compatible vaporizer interlock systems are described in the literature supplied with the vaporizer.

3.8.3

Cagemount Vaporizer

Vaporizers fitted with cagemount tapers have the male taper (inlet port) on the left, and the female taper on the right (viewing the front of the vaporizer).

It is recommended that detachable cagemount connectors are retained with a safety clip (catalogue number 52275) to prevent inadvertent disconnection.

3.13.6

The MOX-3 Oxygen Sensor

The MOX-3 oxygen sensor offers quick response, linear output over the entire 0-100% oxygen range, and long service life.

The MOX-3 is a self-powered galvanic cell that generates current, and the current is proportional to the rate of oxygen consumption.

The cell has a highly stable output over its operating life. Significant output loss is only shown at the very end of its life.

Typical sensor drift rates are less than 1% per month when the sensor is exposed to gas in typical applications.

Sensor lifetime is governed by the mass of lead available to react with the oxygen and its rate of consumption. High oxygen partial pressure and high temperature will increase the sensor output current, thus shortening the operation life.

Nevertheless, average sensor life will still exceed one year.

At the point where all lead has been consumed, the output will fall very quickly to zero over a period of two to three weeks.

NOTE

To maintain maximum sensor life, always remove from breathing circuit after use.

Typical Sensor Installation on

Machine CGO

The sensor assembly consists of an external probe and 2 m (6 ft) cable and diverter on a standard 15 mm Tee adaptor

.

On machines with an A100 Absorber, the probe can also be mounted on the dome of the inspiratory valve (see section 5).

Power Supply

Mains Power Supply

Power is fed to the machine via the mains lead to a switching mode power supply, and the oxygen monitor will be powered up by 14.2 v.

The monitor is controlled by the machine gas system master On/Off switch

(see 3.13.2).

Back-up Battery

Should the electrical power supply to the machine fail, the emergency battery supply for the unit comes into action automatically.

This is indicated by the illuminated yellow ‘MAINS FAILURE’ LED alarm, accompanied with a ‘beep’ sound.

The battery is maintained in a fully charged state during normal use (i.e. the machine connected to the mains power supply).

A fully charged battery will power the unit for a minimum of 60 minutes.

Low Priority Battery Low Alarm

When the battery is discharged, and the mains power supply is not restored, the ‘BATTERY LOW’ LED alarm will illuminate, accompanied with a low priority alarm sound.

Medium Priority Battery Low Alarm

When the battery is further discharged, and the mains power supply is not restored, the ‘BATTERY LOW’ LED will flash at a two second rate and a medium priority audible warning will be given when the minimum safe level of voltage is reached.

Low Battery Shut Down

WARNING

When the battery voltage has fallen to the minimum safe level, the oxygen monitor will automatically shut down to avoid permanent damage to the battery.

Recharging the Battery

Charging of the back-up battery takes place automatically when the mains power supply is on, irrespective of the position of the machine gas system

On/Off switch position.

NOTE

The stated battery back-up period will only be available if the battery is kept fully charged. After the back-up power supply has been run down, the oxygen monitor will not function until the battery is in a fully charged state.

5.9

Alarm System Testing

WARNING

The anaesthetic machine must not be used if any alarm is not functioning correctly.

Primary Oxygen Failure Alarm

The machine is fitted with a warning whistle and a visual indicator (A).

These components act as oxygen supply failure devices and constitute the primary alarm system, powered only by the residual oxygen supply, as described in section 3.

The system can be checked whenever the low pressure oxygen system is first pressurised by turning on a cylinder or connecting a pipeline.

a) The whistle will sound briefly as pressure increases, and b) The visual indicator (A) will turn from red to green.

Whistle, Visual Indicator, and Gas Cut-off

Device Test

A formal test (including the action of the internal gas cutoff device) is performed as follows:

1.

2.

Connect both oxygen and nitrous oxide supplies.

Set the Gas Delivery switch (B) to ON, and check

3.

4.

that the warning whistle sounds briefly.

On machines with Air, set the Interlock switch (C) to N

2

O.

Set a flow of 2 L/min on both flowmeters.

5.

(set a flow of CO

2 also, if this gas is provided).

Disconnect the oxygen supply at the wall socket or close the oxygen cylinder valve and check: a) that as the oxygen flow slows down the whistle starts to sound when the flow rate has fallen from

2 L/min to 1.2 L/min +/- 0.2 L/min.

b) that the whistle continues for at least 7 seconds.

c) that the flow of nitrous oxide (and carbon dioxide if fitted) is cut off completely before the oxygen flowmeter shows zero flow.

d) that the visual indicator (A) turns red before the oxygen flow is entirely stopped.

6.

NOTE All gases must be included in the preoperative check..

Reinstate the oxygen supply.

Check that all gas flows are reinstated, and that the visual indicator turns green again.

PRE-USE CHECKS

5.10 Vaporizers

Always follow the procedures and checklist given in the instruction manual supplied with the vaporizer, particularly when filling the vaporizer with anaesthetic agent.

WARNING

Vaporizers must always be mounted, never used free-standing.

Free standing vaporizers may be accidentally tipped resulting in excessive and uncalibrated volumes of anaesthetic drug entering the breathing system.

Vaporizers of any description must not be installed or connected between the Common

Gas Outlet and the breathing system unless they are specifically designed for such use. (If this is done, the oxygen flush flow will pass through the vaporizer, and severe overdosage may result).

5.10.1 Selectatec Type Mounting

System

Dependent on choice of backbar manifold system, up to two Selectatec compatible vaporizers may be fitted.

To install the vaporizer, carefully offer the vaporizer up to the manifold.

Check that the gas connection ports on the vaporizer are aligned with the valves on the manifold.

Carefully lower the vaporizer onto the manifold and lock the vaporizer into position by clockwise rotation of the locking lever through 90o.

NOTE

Do not use excessive force to lock the vaporizer onto the manifold. Damage to the locking fastener will result.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the locking shaft, ensure that the gas connection ports are aligned with the valves on the manifold, and are correctly engaged, before tightening the locking lever.

5.10.2 Selectatec Compatible

Vaporizers with Interlock

WARNING

O nly vaporizers with the Selectatec compatible interlock function will interlock if installed on the manifold

The installation of non-interlock vaporizers allows the possible operation of more than one vaporizer at the same time.

Check that the interlock mechanisms of all the vaporizers on the manifold are working correctly, i.e. that only one vaporizer at a time can be turned on.

5.10.3 Cagemount Vaporizer

Note that some international standards demand that this type of vaporizer should only be used on machines with a single mounting station.

In addition, use safety clip (Catalogue No.

52275) to retain the cagemount taper cones in position on the vaporizer.

5.10.4 Pre-use Checks

(All Vaporizers)

Before use:

1.

Check all joints for gas tightness.

2.

3.

Check vaporizer agent level.

Check for correct anaesthetic agent delivery concentrations - use an agent analyser.

Always follow the pre-use check procedures given in the instruction manual supplied with the vaporizer.

5.11 Ventilator (if fitted)

Always follow the pre-use check procedures given in the instruction manual supplied with the ventilator.

Check all hose and tubing connections for gas tightness.

Check that the display LEDs (5) and the alarm indicators (6) are lit for two seconds, and that the audible alarm sounds.

5.12.3 Calibration

The new unit must be calibrated before clinical use.

Thereafter, we recommend calibration every time the system is switched on, as a safety precaution.

Calibration must also be performed:

A) when the sensor is replaced, or

B) when point-of-use elevation changes by more than 160 m (500 ft).

We recommend calibration with a 100% oxygen standard source, at a pressure and flow similar to your application.

Calibration at lower concentrations or with room air is possible, but less desirable.

FUNCTION TEST

6.1 Introduction

Every Prima anaesthetic machine is tested thoroughly before leaving the factory, but it is essential to undertake a complete performance check as described in this section before the machine is first used clinically.

This can be done initially by a Penlon trained engineer as part of the commissioning of a new machine. Subsequently, this function testing should be repeated at regular intervals.

Full function testing should be carried out, at six month intervals, by a Penlon trained engineer or other persons certificated by

Penlon Limited.

Procedures for machine servicing are described in subsequent sections in this

Service Manual.

Read the procedure carefully before carrying out each test, noting references to machine specifications and equipment.

Perform these tests in sequence.

Mechanical AHD

Function tests specific to non-AHD, and

Mechanical AHD systems are detailed separately.

Note that these sections have special page headings

Equipment Required

No complex test equipment is required for the series of tests described below.

Leak tests

Apply a Leak Test Spray or a diluted solution of soap in water to the suspect connector, and check for a stream of bubbles at the joint.

Flow rates

Check with a respirometer.

Electrical circuits

Check with a multi-meter.

Pressure

Check with a manometer.

49

Safety Precautions

WARNING

Before commencing any test work ensure that all vaporizers are in the "Off" position.

Note that the OFF position may be indicated on the vaporizer as a 0 (zero). Refer to the vaporizer instruction manual.

WARNING

During any test procedure the release of

Nitrous Oxide or anaesthetic vapours into the working environment must be controlled.

Connect the machine to an approved anaesthetic gas scavenging system (AGSS).

WARNING

Do not contaminate pipeline connections, cylinder yokes, regulators or pressure gauges with oil or grease, or any other flammable lubricant or sealant.

FUNCTION TEST

1. Check the main structure of the machine is firmly assembled, free from obvious distortion and damage and that all attachments are secure.

2. Check that the castor wheels are securely attached to the machine frame and that the wheels run and swivel freely. Check that the wheel locking mechanism is working.

3. Check the drawer unit(s) (where fitted) open and close smoothly.

4. Check that the writing tablet opens and closes smoothly.

6.3 Electrical Safety Tests

1. Disconnect the mains lead from the electrical supply.

2. Disconnect all equipment from the auxiliary power outlet panel (A).

3. Perform Electrical Safety Tests as specified by the National Standards applicable to your country.

6.4 Pipeline Gas Supply and Non-Return

Valve

1.

Ensure that all reserve gas cylinders are turned off, and removed from the machine.

2. Leave the Gas Delivery ON/OFF switch in the "OFF"

Position.

3. Check ALL Pipeline Hose assemblies for correct probes, colour coding, and attachment to the machine.

4. Inspect ALL Pipeline hoses for cracks, and check that all clips and connections are secure.

5. Connect the Oxygen Supply to the anaesthetic machine using the pipeline hose.

6. Check that the oxygen pipeline pressure gauge indicates the correct pipeline pressure.

7. Check the security of the Oxygen Hose connections by tug-testing the hose (A).

Perform this test at both ends of the hose by tugging gently whilst grasping the hose between thumb and forefinger.

Firm leak free joints should be maintained, without any relative movement of the spigot, ferrule or hose.

Note: Renew all faulty hose assemblies.

8. Test for leaks from each hose by brushing leak detecting fluid generously about both end fittings.

Test the Pipeline Non-return Valve (NRV) by brushing leak detecting fluid over the hole in the centre of the

Oxygen Cylinder Yoke Bodok Seal (B).

Leaks will be indicated by bubbling of the fluid.

9. Dry with paper towel, fix any leaks (replace hose/NRV if necessary).

10. Leave the Oxygen Hose connected to prevent the cutoff unit operating.

11. Connect the Nitrous Oxide Supply to the anaesthetic machine using the pipeline hose.

Repeat tests 5, to 9 for this gas.

12.

FUNCTION TEST

6.5 Cylinder Gas Supply And

Pressure Reducing Valves.

CAUTION

This machine is fitted with an hypoxia guard known as a Mechanical Anti Hypoxic Device

(MAHD).

This device prevents the delivery of hypoxic mixtures to the patient and must only be adjusted by a Penlon-trained Engineer or other persons certificated to do so by Penlon

Limited.

Incorrect adjustment of the MAHD could result in the failure of this device and the loss of hypoxia protection.

The oxygen control is restricted to prevent the needle valve from fully closing. This ensures a minimum flow of oxygen at all times while the machine is switched on.

This small flow of oxygen is known as the Basal Flow.

DO NOT attempt to fully close the oxygen flow to zero.

DO NOT overtighten Flow Control knobs for the other gases as this will reduce the life of the needle valves.

1.

Ensure that all flowmeter control valves are shut. Disconnect all the pipeline gas supplies.

2. Remove all gas cylinders.

1. Check that all the vaporizers are securely mounted on the manifold.

If a vaporizer is not secure, check the condition of the locking shaft (A).

2. On interlock vaporizers check that the interlock mechanism of all vaporizers are working correctly, i.e that only one vaporizer at a time can be turned on.

3. Check all joints for gas tightness.

6.8.2 Cagemount Vaporizer

Vaporizers fitted with the Cagemount tapers have the male taper (Inlet Port - C) on the left and the female taper on the right as viewed from the front of the vaporizer.

Two M6 studs with nuts, washers and a clamp plate (D) are provided to fix the vaporizer to the anaesthetic machine.

NOTE

Some international standards demand that this type of vaporizer should only be used on machines with a single mounting station.

In addition, use a safety clip (Catalogue No 52275) to retain the Cagemount taper cones in position on the vaporizer.

Fitting the Vaporizer

1. The taper cone joints must be engaged axially and not sideways loaded.

Use the shims provided so that the distance from the back bar to the taper joint can be adjusted by adding or removing shims from the vaporizer.

2. The cone joints should then be lightly smeared with an Oxygen compatible lubricant such as

"Fomblin".

The taper joints must be engaged by applying axial pressure, and the fixing nuts tightened.

Check all joints for gas tightness.

Oxygen Flow Rate until the displayed reading on the test gauge is 20 kPa

(150 mmHg).

6 The maximum permissible flow to maintain the above pressure is 200 ml/min.

7 If a higher flow rate is required to maintain a pressure of 20 kPa (150 mmHg) there is a leak in the system that must be fixed.

Use soap solution to detect leak, repair and repeat above tests (5, 6 &

7).

8 Repeat the above tests (5, 6 & 7) with all fitted vaporizers turned on (Test one at a time) to check gas tightness of each individual vaporizer.

A leaking vaporizer must be withdrawn from use and returned to

Penlon (UK Customers) for repair, or repaired by a Penlon Approved Dealer

(Non-UK Customers).

If the gas flows are inaccurate, small adjustments can be made by adjusting the oxygen basal flow within the range 150 -

200 ml, and then using the secondary regulators, as follows.

12.

Attach a pressure gauge to the test point on each regulator (12 - oxygen, 13 nitrous oxide).

At 5 L/min flow both regulators should be set at 275 kPa (40 psi), but adjustment is available from 261 to 289 kPa (35 to 41 psi).

13.

If the N

2

O flow is low the N

2

O pressure should be increased to 289 kPa (41 psi), before the O

2 pressure is reduced to 261 kPa (35 psi).

Machines with Oxygen Monitor

Care of Back-up Battery

A. Batteries installed in machines

The batteries must be charged before the machine is released for use with a 24 hour charge.

Subsequently the recharge periods for batteries on machines in store are similar to those in B, below.

Batteries in machines in normal use will be kept charged by the internal power supply and will only require special charging care following the discharge test carried out during function testing.

B. Battery care/storage requirements.

During storage the batteries will require a periodic recharge, the frequency of which is determined by the storage temperature, which must not exceed 122oF (50oC).

Storage temperature

Recharge period

38 to 50oC (100 to 122oF)

21 to 38oC (70 to 100oF)

7 to 21oC (45 to 70oF)

0 to 7oC (32 to 45oF)

-5 to 0oC (23 to 32oF)

6 months

9 months

12 months

Duration - recharge until the charge current is less than 25 mA

(typically overnight).

It is recommended that at each charge an updated label is affixed to each battery to indicate date of the last charge.

C.

Disposal of used batteries

Used batteries must be disposed of according to hospital, local, state and federal regulations.

APPENDIX 2

Product Classification and Labelling Terminology

The terms Class 1 and Type B are defined in IEC 601-1 (the standard for electrical medical equipment).

This symbol denotes: Type B equipment

Type B equipment calls for a particular degree of protection against electric shock.

Class 1 equipment has additional protection such that metal parts of the unit that are accessible to the user (e.g. the metal casing of the oxygen monitor unit) cannot become live in the event of failure of the basic insulation of the electrical components within the unit.

This symbol denotes: Refer to the User Manual

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the Prima SP Anaesthetic Machine?
The Prima SP is designed to provide controlled concentrations and flows of anaesthesia gases into a patient breathing system, from where the anaesthesia ventilator and breathing circuit will then deliver this fresh gas mixture to the patient.
What is the Mechanical AHD system?
The Mechanical AHD is designed to control the relative flow rates of oxygen and nitrous oxide, ensuring a minimum oxygen concentration of 30% ±3% in the mixture, to prevent hypoxic mixtures from being supplied.
What is the oxygen monitor's purpose?
The oxygen monitor continuously measures and indicates the concentration of oxygen in the breathing system, triggering an alarm if the concentration varies from the set levels.
How long will the back-up battery power the oxygen monitor?
The back-up battery provides a minimum of 60 minutes operation in the event of mains failure.
