Introduction Theory of Operation

1.1 Introduction

The A5/A4/A3 Anesthesia System is a continuous flow inhalation gas anesthesia system that delivers
anesthetic vapor, and provides for automatic and manual modes of ventilation. It is equipped with a
monitoring system for ventilation, inspired, and expired gas. The A5/A4/A3 is intended for use in
operating rooms. It will be used with O2, N2O, and AIR supplied by a medical gas pipeline system or
by externally mounted gas cylinders. Anesthetic agents can be delivered via vaporizers mounted on
the machine.
Electronic PEEP is available in all ventilation modes. User control over inspiratory flow (Tslope) is
possible in PCV, SIMV, and PS modes. Automatic fresh gas compensation limits the effect on the
patient ventilation from changes in fresh gas flow rate by the operator. The traditional bellows system
is driven by oxygen and makes patient disconnections clearly visible.
The A5/A4/A3 fresh gas dosing subsystem offers the ease of use and features of a traditional
anesthesia system. The dual-flow tubes electronic flowmeter, which includes redundant numerical
readouts, displays the O2, N2O, and Air flows at all times. A knob guard prevents inadvertent
movement of the flow control knobs. Gas supply gauges and auxiliary O2/Air flowmeters with
blended output indicate the gas pipeline supply pressures and gas cylinder pressures. An auxiliary O2
flowmeter is placed at a convenient location for the operator. The O2 flush button is in the traditional
location near the front left corner of the table top.
Safety systems within the A5/A4/A3 work to prevent hypoxic mixtures from being delivered to the
patient. Nitrous oxide will not be delivered unless oxygen pressure is present. A pneumatic safety
system assures that at least 21% O2 is present when setting mixtures of O2 and N2O.
The A5/A4/A3 breathing system is warmed to minimize condensation inside the breathing system
block and to return humid gas to the patient. The breathing system provides easy access to the
Airway Pressure Limiting (APL) valve and breathing bag, and easy viewing of the Airway Pressure
gauge (PAW). The APL valve has a comfortable, single turn knob that provides a clear view of the
manual breathing pressure setting. The absorber assembly incorporates a cam lock device that is
convenient to open and close. CO2 absorbent Pre-paks or loose fill can be used. A water trap that can
be drained is also provided on the absorber assembly.
Two flow sensors in the breathing system measure inspired and expired gases for control and
monitoring. Spirometry is standard on the A5. Inspired oxygen is monitored via a fuel-cell type sensor.
Breathing pressure is also monitored. The breathing system can swivel into position. A test plug, next
to the two main hose connections, allows automated leak testing during startup. The Anesthesia Gas
Scavenging System (AGSS) connections are at the rear of A5/A4/A3.
The A5/A4/A3 is powered by an AC power source. In turn, the A5/A4/A3 power management system
provides DC power for its main system functions while charging its internal battery supply. In case of
AC power failure, the A5/A4/A3 operates on battery power for a minimum of 75 minutes with one (1)
new battery installed (A3) or 150 minutes with two (2) new batteries installed (A5). A recessed main
switch is provided to power the system ON and OFF. Four (4) auxiliary AC outlets on the A5 and three
(3) auxiliary AC outlets on the A3 at the rear of the machine operate independently of the main
switch position.
