2 Theory of Operation
The anesthesia system HEYER MODULAR+ represents a flexible employable workstation to apply
and monitor anesthesia inhalation in semi-closed and almost closed circuits in low flow techniques for
minimized consumption of gas and anesthetics.
The basic model Modular+ includes the following components:
2.1 Microprocessor-Controlled Ventilator
The Microprocessor-controlled ventilator allows with its dedicated patient module time-controlled,
pressure limited, and a constant volume controlled ventilation for all patient groups of a body weight of
3 kg upwards.
The system compliance of the patient module and respiratory tubes are automatically compensated by
the ventilator. Low tidal volumes, therefore, can be dosed very accurately.
Thanks to the different ventilation modes, a ventilation is feasible, even in case of complicated lung
conditions.
A comprehensive test and alarm management system prevents uncontrollable operating conditions
and therefore provides the patient a high safety standard.
The ergonomically designed control surface allows an easy operation of the ventilator. The display
informs about the selected ventilation parameters and the measured values for volume, pressure, FiO2
and shows real time curves of the expiratory flow and airway pressure.
2.2 Patient Module
The patient circuit is integrated in a compact aluminum block. This block is brought to a moderate
temperature to avoid the formation of water vapor. In additional, it includes a controlled emergency
valve, a reservoir in form of a manual respiratory bag and an expiratory flow sensor.
The patient module is automatically connected to the basic unit through a motor drive. A threaded
shaft pulls the block toward the basic unit, and all connections to the docking block are checked in the
compliance- and leak tests.
2.3 Gas Conditioning Unit
The flow meter block features all the necessary safety facilities, such as O2 pressure loss alarm and
N2O shut-off. An integrated pneumatically controlled system provides a minimum of 25% oxygen
concentration in the fresh gas flow at all flow settings (ratio system).
2.4 The Ventilator Unit
The microprocessor-controlled ventilator allows time-controlled, volume-constant and pressure-limited
(CMV) or pressure targeted (PCV) artificial respiration without assisted or synchronized control
functions.The system also allows manual respiration as well as spontaneous respiration of the patient.
Adjustable PEEP, breathing time ratios (I:E) and pressure sustaining plateau functions are available.
Volume-constant respiration is effected by the time control of the respirator and the fresh gas
decoupling of the patient module. The ventilator computes the inspiratory flow required for the settings
tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate and the ventilation time ratio (I:E). The resultant tidal volume (VT) is
delivered to the patient at high accuracy
2.5 Adjustable Alarms
Minimum and maximum alarm limit settings are available for Peak Pressure, Mean Pressure and FiO2
minimum alarm settings are available for tidal volume and minute volume.

2.6 Fresh Gas Decoupling
The tidal volume (VT) is adjusted independently of the adjusted fresh gas flow. This is achieved by
fresh gas decoupling. In inspiratory procedure the fresh gas flow is uncoupled by the decoupling and
expiratory diaphragm valves from the internal subsystem of the patient module. Fresh gas either is
filling the manual respiration bag (reservoir) or is led into the scavenging through the airway pressure
relief valve.
2.7 Compliance compensation
The tidal volume (VT) is automatically corrected in response to the compliance of the patient module
and patient tubes. Volume reduction due to system compliance is compensated as a result of this.

Repair Information
2.14.1 Ventilator pneumatic drive
Air or Oxygen, in the CMV mode, serves as driving gas for the ventilator. In addition to the flow meter
block, a pressure reducer, reducing the supply pressure to 200 kPa (2 bar; 29 PSI), is supplied by the
Air or oxygen connection. This pressure represents the high system pressure of the ventilator. The
pressure reducer is named HP pressure reducer.
The HP pressure reducer is placed ahead of the proportional valve that generates the driving gas flow
during the inspiratory phase. This flow is led through the flow divider and fills the bellows dome that
surrounds the silicone bellow.
In response to the inspiratory and expiratory phases of a respiration cycle, the pneumatic valves
(diaphragm valves) of the patient module are activated by solenoid valves.
These solenoid valves, MV1, MV3, and MV2 are supplied by a second pressure reducer assembly
(LP- double stage pressure reducer) at the low system pressure, together with MV4, with about 20 kPa
(200 mbar; 2.9 PSI)// 25 kPa (250 mbar; 3,63PSI).
Cyclic activation of the proportional valve and solenoid valves is steered by the processors of module
2 according to the parameters set on the control panel of the ventilator.
A description of the individual components will be found in the following chapters:
2.14.2 HP pressure reducer
The HP pressure reducer serves for a stabilization of the supply pressure for the proportional valve.
The flow generated by the proportional valve thus becomes independent of pressure variations.
The setting of the HP pressure reducer (200 kPa (2 bar; 29 PSI)) at the same time determines the
maximum inspiratory flow of 75 +0/-4 L/min with respect to the respirator.
2.14.3 LP- double stage pressure reducer
This pressure reducer assembly is supplied with oxygen in parallel to the measuring tube block or ratio
system, respectively. It reduces the input pressure to 20 kPa (200 mbar; 2.9 PSI)// 25 kPa (250 mbar;
3,63PSI), and is connected to the solenoid valve bank.
2.14.4 Solenoid valves MV1 to MV4
The solenoid valves MV1, MV2, MV3 and MV4 are mounted on a bank behind the patient module
docking station to which the tubes to the docking station of the patient module and the LP- double
stage pressure reducer are connected.
MV1: This solenoid valve activates, in the CMV mode, the valve for closing the outlet of the bellows
dome (bellows control valve) through the line 5, when driving gas flows in for inspiration. It is supplied
by the LP- double stage pressure reducer.
MV2: This solenoid valve activates, in the CMV mode, the valve closing the expiratory channel of the
patient module (expiratory valve), via MV2 through the line 1. It is supplied by the LP- double stage
pressure reducer via MV4.
MV3: This solenoid valve activates, in the CMV mode, the valve for the fresh gas decoupling
(decoupling valve) through the line 6. It is supplied by the LP- double stage pressure reducer.
MV4: This solenoid valve is used for internal supply of MV2 with pressure of the LP- reducer.

2.14.5 Pneumatic driving module
The driving module consists of the proportional valve and flow divider with an internal flow sensor. The
proportional valve supplied by the HP pressure reducer generates a driving gas flow of 0-75 l/min in
relation to the control voltage of the proportional valve of 0 - 5VDC.
The control voltage of the PV, required for the pre-selected parameter settings, is generated by the
CPU board AVM 3-2.
The driving gas flow Q

= driving gas flow
2.14.6 Flow metering module
The flow metering module attached to the proportional valve consists of a flow sensor with a
measuring range of 0 - 1 l/min and a flow divider. The flow divider splits the total flow in a ratio of 79: 1,
and the bypass flow is lead to the flow sensor. A closed loop that allows high accuracy and back up in
the generation of the tidal volume results from this configuration via the module 2 CPU-boards.
2.14.7 Tube color coding
Despite the local color coding system, all the pneumatic tubes inside the apparatus will be according
to the coding label inside the unit, if it is not according to the local color coding system, next to the flow
meter block. Typically it will be according to one of the follow standards.

2.15.4 Components of the patient module
2.15.4.1 Ventilation bellows system
The ventilator’s driving system can be characterized as a constant flow generator. The driving gas of
this generator fills the bellows dome to compress the bellows. The breathing gas is pressed out of the
bellows into the circuit. Due to the weight of the descending bellows, it is self-filling when the driving
gas flow is stopped. The bellows control valve enables the escape of the driving gas.
2.15.4.2 Manual Respiration Bag / Reservoir
In the manual mode this device acts as a normal breathing bag, enabling the user to ventilate the
patient manually. In CMV mode this bag acts as a reservoir for fresh gas in the inspiration phase. In
the expiratory phase the re-breathing gas and the fresh gas are accumulated in this reservoir. The
bag’s in- and deflation corresponds to the volume balance of the breathing circuit and the patient.
When a volume loss occurs, the bag deflates breath by breath and finally collapses. Such a collapsing
breathing bag is an indicator for a leakage. The breathing bag must collapse if the fresh gas flow,
reduced by the patient’s uptake, is not able to compensate the leakage.
2.15.4.3 CO2 absorber
The soda lime inside the absorber retains the carbon dioxide from the re-breathing gas. The flow
orientation is upstream.
2.15.4.4 Inspiratory and expiratory valves
To ensure the gas flow direction the two one-way-valves in the inspiratory limb and expiratory limb are
integrated inside the patient module. These valves are seen activating form the top of the module.
2.15.4.5 Airway pressure relief valve
In CMV position the APL valve closes the re-breathing system towards the scavenging line and limits
the reservoir pressure to a constant value of 2 cmH2O. In manual mode the APL valve acts as a
normal spring loaded pressure relief valve, limiting the maximum pressure in the re-breathing system.
2.15.4.6 Room Air valve
Due to the tendency of the descending bellows to refill itself by creating a negative pressure inside the
bellows this valve prevents the patient from becoming any negative pressure by opening the
diaphragm and allowing ambient air to refill the bellows.
2.15.4.7 Diaphragm/Membrane valves
Inside the patient module valves operate the expiratory line, the bellows dome outlet and the fresh gas
decoupling line during the CMV-mode. These valves are controlled by pressured gas to open or close
the valve’s path. All valves are open when not inflated. The power gas for these valves is controlled by
the ventilator’s valve bank using a supply pressure of about 20 kPa (200 mbar; 2.9 PSI)// 25 kPa (250
mbar; 3,63PSI) from the ventilator pneumatic.

3 Repair Information
3.1 Introduction
This chapter of the service manual provides the necessary technical information to perform repairs to
the instrument. The most important perquisites for effective troubleshooting are a trough
understanding of the instruments functions, as well as understanding the principals of operation.
3.2 Warnings and precautions
In the event the instrument covers are removed, observe the following warnings and guidelines
3.2.1 Precautions
1. Do not short components leads together
2. The instrument covers must not be removed by anyone other than qualified technical personnel
who have received supplementary instructions regarding maintenance of medical equipment
and/or have equivalent experience in this area.
3.2.2 Warnings
1. This device operates using compressed gas at high pressures. When attaching emergency gas
tanks, always open tank valves slowly, watching the cylinder gauge indicate the tank pressure.
When disconnecting the tanks, always close the valves slowly. Use the Modular+ flow meters to
bleed down the pressure, watching the cylinder gauge indicating the depleting tank pressure,
before disconnecting the tank from the yoke. Always open and close tank valves fully.
2. This device operates using compressed gas at high pressures from the hospital central supply.
When connecting gas supply lines, attach the hose connection to the machine before connecting
the quick disconnect fitting to the hospital source. Disconnect the supply hose from the hospital
source connection prior to disconnecting it from the Modular+ gas connection fittings.
3. Whenever flowing anesthetic gases, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or any hospital gas always use the
appropriate agent evacuation system.
4. Never oil or grease any oxygen equipment unless the lubricant used is made and approved for
this kind of service. In general, oils and greases oxidize readily, and in the presence of oxygen
burn violently.
Maintenance and Calibration
3.3 Troubleshooting Guidelines
1. Identify the problem – Due to the wide variety of potential symptoms, certain problems may be
more subtle than others. Following the guidelines of the tests will help determine the problem if
one exists.
2. Avoid shorting component leads together – During repair procedures, it can be tempting to
make a quick series of measurements. Always turn the power off before connecting and
disconnecting the test leads and probes. The accidental shorting of leads can easily stress the
components and cause a second failure (aside from the safety risk).
3. Use the proper equipment – The equipment listed below is suggested to fulfill a wide range of
troubleshooting requirements. It is imperative to use the designated equipment in order to ensure
proper results of any and all test procedures.
4. Clean up the repair area – After any repair, clean off the repair area.
