1.2Microprocessor-controlled Ventilator
The Microprocessor-controlled ventilator, with its dedicated Breathing System, allows timecontrolled, pressure limited, constant volume ventilation for all patient groups within a tidal
volume range of 40 mL (4 kg infant) to 1400 mL (large adult).
Time-controlled, pressure limited, and compliance compensated constant volume ventilation
is provided through the Controlled Mandatory Ventilation (CMV) mode. The CMV mode
delivers a viable ventilation method for complicated lung conditions. The ventilator also
provides time-controlled, volume dependant ventilation, targeting a set (adjustable) target
pressure provided through the Pressure Controlled Ventilation (PCV) mode. Automatic and
comprehensive system startup tests and alarm management systems ensure controlled
ventilation conditions in every mode of operation.
The durable and ergonomically designed user interface and Navigator

37. Bellows Assembly
The AS3000 employs ascending ventilation bellows, in which mixed gas is stored. Drive
gas supplied by the ventilator forces the bellows to descend sending mixed gas into the
inspiratory passage of patient's airway. If a patient's airway suffers from gas leakage, the
bellows will collapse, informing the operator of a possible problem. A tidal volume scale is
provided on the transparent dome, through which a patient's tidal volume can be estimated.

1.3.5Breathing System
The Breathing System is integrated into a compact aluminum block. This block is heated to
body temperature to prevent condensing of humidified gases within the Breathing System,
thus improving airway climatization for the patient's re-breathing of respiratory gases. The
heated Breathing System contains: an inspiratory valve with O
measurement, expiratory valve, APL Valve, breathing bag connection, and internal
inspiratory and expiratory flow sensors.
1.3.6The Ventilator Unit
The AS3000 ventilator offers multiple ventilation modes: Controlled Mandatory Ventilation
with volume control (CMV), Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV), Synchronized Intermittent
Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV), and Pressure Support (PS) ventilation. Electronic PEEP is
available in all ventilation modes. User control over inspiratory flow (SLOPE) is possible in
PCV, SIMV, and PS modes. Automatic fresh gas compensation limits the effect of user
changes in fresh gas flow rate on the patient. The traditional bellows system is driven by
oxygen and makes patient disconnections clearly visible.

ComponentsTheory of Operation
1.3.7Adjustable Alarms
Minimum and maximum alarm limits can be set for Peak Pressure, Mean Pressure and FiO2.
Minimum alarm limits can be set for Tidal Volume and Minute Volume. Exceeding the peak
pressure alarm limit automatically halts the inspiratory phase preventing airway pressure
from exceeding the high alarm setting. In the CMV mode, when reaching this pressure limit,
a “High Airway Pressure” alarm is displayed, and inspiration is discontinued. The next
inspiration occurs at the regular time interval, preventing increase of the respiratory rate. The
result is a decreased tidal volume (T Vol.) and minute volume (M Vol.). During pressure
limitation, the ventilator displays the alarm message until the condition is corrected.
1.3.8Compliance Compensation
Compliance compensation automatically corrects for the expansion of the circuit in CMV
ventilation mode. System compliance is measured by the ventilator to maintain the set tidal
volume (±15%). The compliance test may be bypassed at machine power up. When
bypassing the compliance test, the default settings are used.
