2.1 Measurement principle
2.1.1 CO2, N2O, and agent measurement
TPX is a side stream gas analyzer, measuring real time concentrations of CO2, N2O and anesthetic
agents (Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane, and Sevoflurane).

Figure 1TPX sensor principle
Anesthetic agents or mixtures of two anesthetic agents are automatically identified and
concentrations of the identified agents are measured. TPX also detects mixtures of more than two
agents and issues an alarm.
TPX is a nondispersive infrared analyzer, measuring absorption of the gas sample at seven infrared
wavelengths, which are selected using optical narrow band filters.
The infrared radiation detectors are thermopiles.
Concentrations of CO

Identification of anesthetic agents and calculation of their concentrations is performed by
measuring absorptions at five wavelengths in the 8-9 µm band and solving the concentrations
from a set of five equations.

The measuring accuracy is achieved utilizing numerous software compensations. The
compensation parameters are determined individually for each TPX during the factory calibration.

2.1.2 O2 measurement
The differential oxygen measuring unit uses the paramagnetic principle in a pneumatic bridge
configuration. The signal picked up with a differential pressure transducer is generated in a
measuring cell with a strong magnetic field that is switched on and off at a frequency of 165 Hz.
The output signal is a DC voltage proportional to the O
gases to be measured.

2.1.3 Patient spirometry
In mechanical ventilation breaths are delivered to the patient by a ventilator with a proper tidal
volume (TV), respiration rate (RR), and inspiration / expiration ratio in time (I:E) determined by the
settings of the ventilator.
The Patient Spirometry monitors patient ventilation. The following parameters are displayed:
− Expiratory and inspiratory tidal volume (TV) in ml
− Expiratory and inspiratory minute volume (MV) in l/min
− Expiratory spontaneous minute volume in l/min

The measurement is based on measuring the kinetic gas pressure and is performed using the Pitot
effect. A pressure transducer is used to measure the Pitot pressure. The obtained pressure signal is
linearized and corrected according to the density of the gas. Speed of the flow is calculated from
these pressure values and TV value is then integrated. MV value is further calculated and averaged
using TV and RR (respiratory rate) values.

D-lite
Patient Spirometry uses a specific sensor called D-liteTM flow sensor. Different types of the D-lite
sensors are available: adult sensor for measuring adults and pediatric sensor for children. Both are
available as reusable versions and D-lite sensor also for single use.
D-lite adapter is designed to measure kinetic pressure by two-sided Pitot tube. Velocity is
calculated from pressure difference according to Bernoulli's equation. Flow is then determined
using the calculated velocity.

2.2 Main components
The compact airway modules consist of:
• Gas sampling system
• TPX measuring unit
• OM measuring unit
• PVX measuring unit
• CPU board
• OM board
• PVX board
2.2.1 Gas sampling system
The sampling system takes care of drawing a gas sample to the analyzers at a fixed rate.
The gas sampling system samples the measured air to the module, and removes water and
impurities from it. A sampling line is connected to the water trap. The pump draws gas through the
sampling line to gas measuring units. After the measurements, the gas is exhausted from sample
gas out connector.
The M-COVX and M-CAiOVX modules have a different gas sampling system compared to the other
modules. A number of flow restrictors have been changed to create a bigger pressure difference
with ambient pressure in the gas sensors. The sample flow is however about the same (200
ml/min).
A bigger pressure difference makes the deformations of the gas concentration curves less sensitive
to high variations of the airway pressures thus meeting also the accuracy requirements of gas
exchange for these applications.

D-fend
TM
The sample is drawn through a sampling line. Then gas enters the monitor through the water trap,
where it is divided into two flows, a main flow and a side flow. The main flow goes into the
analyzers. This flow is separated from the patient side by a hydrophobic filter. The side flow creates
a slight subatmospheric pressure within the D-fend water trap which causes fluid removed by the
hydrophobic filter to collect in the bottle.
Zero valve and absorber
Figure 5Absorber
NafionTM tubes
1)
A nafion tube is used between the water trap and the zero valve to balance the sample gas
humidity with that of ambient air. The tube will prevent errors caused by the effect of water vapor on
gas partial pressure when humid gases are measured after calibration with dry gases. Another
nafion tube is used between the absorper and the pneumatic unit to prevent humidity caused by
absorb of CO
The main flow passes through a magnetic valve before
proceeding to the analyzers. This valve is activated to establish
the zero points for the TPX and OM units. When the valve is
activated, room air is drawn through the absorber into the internal
system and the gas sensors. Paralyme is used as an absorbent.
.
2
Gas analyzers
After the zero valve and nafion tube the gas passes through TPX and OM units. The oxygen sensor
has two inputs. One input accepts the main flow and the other draws in room air for reference. Both
gas flows exit from a single port.
Sample flow differential pressure transducer
The sample flow differential pressure transducer measures pressure drop across OM inlet restrictor
and calculates sample flow from the pressure difference.
Working pressure transducer
The working pressure transducer measures absolute working pressure between the TPX unit and
OM unit. It is used for messages: ‘sample line blocked’, ‘check D-fend’, ‘replace D-fend’ and
‘check sample gas outlet’.

Page 21
Pneumatic unit
The pneumatic unit contains zeroing valve, occlusion valve and tubing connections. There is a
series of restrictors and chambers forming a pneumatic filter to prevent pressure oscillations from
the pump to reach the measuring units. The occlusion valve connection to room air includes a dust
filter and the zero valve connection to room air includes an absorber.
Connection block
The connection block contains sample gas outlet connector and OM unit reference gas inlet. The
inlet is equipped with a dust filter.
Occlusion valve
The valve is activated when the sampling line gets occluded. The main flow is then diverted to the
side flow of the D-fend water trap to faster remove the occlusion.
Sampling pump and damping chamber
Compact Airway modules
The gas sampling pump is a membrane pump that is run by a brushless DC-motor. Sample flow is
measured with a differential pressure transducer across a known restriction. The motor is
automatically controlled to maintain a constant flow, even when the D-fend water trap ages and
starts to get occluded. It also enables use of sample tubes with varying lengths and diameters.
The damping chamber is used to even out the pulsating flow and silence the exhaust flow.
NOTE: In no occasion is the flow reversed towards patient.

2.2.2 TPX measuring unit
The TPX unit is a non dispersive infrared analyzer, measuring absorption of the gas sample at seven
infrared wavelengths, which are selected using optical narrow band filters. The IR lamp is a 4 W
filament, surrounded by thermal isolation. There is a hole in the isolation, passing the radiation to a
conical measuring chamber with 4 mm length.
From the sample chamber, radiation goes into seven tubular light guides with reflective inner
surface. At the other end of each light guide, there is a thermopile detector with an optical filter in
front of it.
The Temp sensor measures TPX units’ temperature and it is used for temparature compensation.
The TPX unit includes TPX board located at the end of the unit. Its function is to connect the 7
thermopile signals and the temperature sensor signal to the CPU board.

Figure 9TPX measuring unit
2.2.3 OM measuring unit
The oxygen measurement is based on paramagnetic susceptibility. The gas and the reference gas,
which usually is room air, are conducted into a gap in an electromagnet with a strong magnetic
field switched on and off at a frequency of approximately 165 Hz.
An alternating differential pressure is generated between the sample and reference inputs due to
forces acting to the oxygen molecules in a magnetic field gradient.
The pressure is measured with a sensitive differential transducer, rectified with a synchronous
detector and amplified to produce a DC voltage proportional to the oxygen partial pressure
difference of the two gases.

NOTE: Never apply overpressure or negative pressure of more than 300 cmH2O to the flow and
volume tubing. Differential pressure max 25 cmH2O on one port at a time e.g. when connecting
tubes.
When Patient Spirometry is used, a special sensor, D-lite, replaces the normal airway adapter in
the patient circuit. A double lumen tubing is attached to the two connectors on the adapter and on
the module front panel.
The Patient Spirometry provides patient respiration monitoring capabilities using the D-lite and
Pedi-lite flow sensors.
Figure 11PVX measuring unit
The measurement is based on measuring the kinetic gas pressure and is performed using the Pitot
effect. A pressure transducer is used to measure the Pitot pressure. The signal is then linearized
and corrected according to the density of the gas. Speed of the flow is calculated from the pressure
and TV is integrated from it.
The Patient Spirometry consists of airway connections, two pressure transducers, valves and
preamplifiers. The preamplifiers are connected to the A/D-converter on module main CPU.
The breathing flow of a patient passing through the D-lite adapter creates a pressure difference.
This pressure difference is measured by pressure transducer, B1. Overpressure and negative
pressure in airways are measured by another pressure transducer B2.

2.2.5 Gas exchange
The gas exchange measurement uses the concentrations measured by the TPX measurement unit
and the O
measurement unit, in combination with the flow from the PVX measurement unit. The
2
gas exchange calculation is done by software.
CAUTION The gas exchange measurement in the M-CAiOVX and M-COVX modules works
accurately only with 2 meter gas sampling lines.
2.2.6 CPU board
The CPU board contains the processor and memories and A/D-converters that are common to the

Patient Spirometry measurement
20. Enter the service menu Spirometry:
Gas Unit - Spirometry
Connect a clean Spirometry tube to the module and a clean D-lite to the other end of the
tube. Block the D-lite’s sampling line port, for example with a Luer stopper.
Compact Airway modules
NOTE: Make sure that the date marking on the D-lite is 10/94 or newer.
Take the D-lite into your hand and occlude both ends tightly with your fingers (or with both
hands). Pressing creates a pressure inside the D-lite. Check that pressure near 5 cmH
generated (the ‘Aw Pressure’ -value in the service menu).
If the system leaks heavily, no pressure will be generated.
If there is a small leak in the connections, the monitor will measure a pressure difference
which is then interpreted as flow and seen on the monitor screen. The pressure waveform
(and the ‘Aw Pressure’ -value) decreases slowly and the flow waveform (the ‘Flow’ -value)
either goes above, or below the zero line, depending on which of the connectors is leaking.
In case of leakage, first check all the connections and try again.

3.3.5 Instructions after replacing software or CPU board
After replacing the software or CPU board:
• perform the sampling system leak test.
• perform the occlusion test
• perform the gas calibration.
• perform Fall time Measurement
3.4 Adjustments and calibrations
See User’s Reference Manual for normal gas calibration instructions.
3.4.1 Gas sampling system adjustment
NOTE: Let the monitor run for 15 minutes before measuring flow rates.
For the flow rate measurements a flowmeter with a low flow resistance and capability to measure
low flow rates is required. A normal length of sampling line has to be connected to the monitor as it
has a considerable effect on the flow.
3.4.2 Flow rate measurement
If any flow rates are not correct, first replace the D-fend water trap. Then recheck the
incorrect flows.
Sampling flow rate is measured by rotameter at the sampling line. The rate should be between 180
and 220 ml/min. The flow rate is adjusted in the Gas Service Menu with ‘Sample Gain Adj.’.
Reference flow of the oxygen measuring unit are checked as follows:
Connect rotameter to the Gas Ref. inlet on the front panel. The flow rate should be between 31 and
45 ml/min (M-CAiOVX/M-COVX: 27-40 ml/min, M-C: 24-45 ml/min). The flow rate is not
adjustable.
32
Document No. 800 1009-1
Page 39
3.4.3 Flow rate adjustment
NOTE: Before adjusting the sampling flow make sure there is no leakage in the sampling system.
Refer to chapter 3.2 Service check, step 15; Check the flow rates.
Wait until the ‘Sample Flow’ -value is back near 200 ml /min.
Connect a flowmeter to the 3 meter sampling line (use a 2 meter sampling line for M-CAiOVX and
M-COVX) and check that the flow (the flowmeter reading) is within the following range:
3.4.4 Gas calibration
The gas calibration is performed in the Airway Gas menu. Please refer User’s Reference Manual.
3.4.5 Flow calibration
PVX measuring unit is calibrated at the factory and due to the unit’s design calibration is not
regularly needed. The calibration data is saved into the board’s EEPROM. In case calibration is
needed, it is recommended to perform the calibration both with adult values using the D-lite, and
with pediatric values using Pedi-lite.
Compact Airway modules
1. Connect a spirometry tube with a D-lite sensor to the compact airway module. To improve
the accuracy, the endotracheal tube and all accessories which normally are in use should
be attached also during the calibration.
2. Enter the Gas Unit service menu:
Enter the Spirometry menu.
3. After the flow is zeroed ('Zero OK' message displayed ) attach a preferably spirometry tester
to the flow sensor (D-lite or Pedi-lite). Select the sensor type.
4. Perform the calibration according to the tester instructions. Observe the values of inspired
and expired tidal volumes.
5. Adjust the reading to match the calibration volume (about 1000 ml for the D-lite and 300
ml for the Pedi-lite). Adjust Exp Flow Gain and Insp Flow Gain values in proportion to the
difference between measured values and the spirometry tester reading.

4.2 Gas sampling system troubleshooting
The faults which can occur in the sampling system are: leaks or blockages in the tubing, failure of
the sampling pump or the magnetic valves, or diminishing of the flow rates because of dirt
accumulating in the internal tubing.
The following checks should help in localizing the fault. Whenever suspecting the sampling system
and always after having done any work on the sampling system check and if necessary adjust the
flow rate.
CAUTION The special internal sample tube is mechanically fragile. Sharp bends will cause
leaks.
NOTE: D-fend water trap should be replaced when the REPLACE D-FEND message appears during
the monitor startup.
NOTE: If any liquid has entered the TPX measuring unit due to water trap filter failure, contact
Datex-Ohmeda Technical Services.
4.2.1 Sampling system leak test
1. Prevent the module from performing the normal occlusion functions, i.e. controlling the
valves, by turning the pump first off, then on again from the menu.
2. Block the reference gas connector at the front panel.
3. Connect a flow cassette with high flow resistance value (50/1.1) to the end of the sampling
line and start following the ‘Amb-Work’ -value in the service menu. When the value exceeds
170 mmHg connect the other port of the flow cassette to the sample gas out connector and
switch the pump off.
4. Wait until pressure inside the sampling system is stabilized then notice the shown ‘Amb-
Work’ -value. The value, i.e. the pressure inside the sampling system should not drop more
than 6 mmHg in one minute.
5. If the pressure drops more, first ensure the connections you have made and repeat the test.
4.2.2 Steam test for the NafionTM tubes
Choose Halothane as anesthetic agent and let the monitor sample room air. Then quickly feed air
of 100 % relative humidity (for instance from a kettle in which you are boiling water) to the monitor.
If the digital reading jumps as much as 0.1 % replace the Nafion tubes.

CAUTION Because of the complex and very sensitive construction of the oxygen measuring
unit no repairs should be attempted inside the unit. Instead, if the fault has been
found in the measuring unit itself, the whole module should be replaced and the
faulty module be sent to Datex-Ohmeda for repair.
In cases of no response to O2 or strong drift, check the tubing for loose connections, blockages and
leaks.
CAUTION Never apply overpressure to the O2 measuring unit as the pressure transducer may
be permanently damaged.
If the O2 signal is noisy, check the measurement unit suspension.
4.4 TPX measuring unit troubleshooting
CAUTION The TPX measuring unit can only be repaired and calibrated at the factory. In case of
failure the whole module should be replaced and the faulty module be sent to
Datex-Ohmeda for repair.
4.5 PVX measuring unit troubleshooting
In case of failure the PVX unit can be replaced.
NOTE: Never apply overpressure or negative pressure of more than 300 cmH
volume tubing. Also never apply differential pressure of more than 25 mmHg on one PVXconnection at a time.

4.6 CPU board troubleshooting
Due to the complexity of the large scale integrated circuitry there are few faults in the CPU digital
electronics that can be located without special equipment.
Check only that RAM, EPROM, CPU, and other socketed ICs are properly installed.

Service Data field
Module configuration shows which measurement options are available, i.e. are detected by the
module.
Timeouts is a cumulative number that indicates how many times the module has not responded to
the monitor's inquiry.
Bad checksums is a cumulative number that indicates how many times communication from the
module to monitor broke down.
Bad c-s by mod is a cumulative number that indicates how many communication errors the
module has detected.
The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The nonzero
values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting (more than 50 per second) indicates
either serial communication failure or module not in place. Also other modules can cause these
numbers to rise.

the same as on main display. The former pump calibration procedure has been dropped
out. We claim that calibration is not needed in routine clinical use, so a separate Flow
calibration menu is not needed. Calibration can be done with the pump or spirometry tester.
The results must be taken from the screen and gains adjusted accordingly.
