3.2.1Light emitter with reflector

The reflector is ellipsoid in shape. The light emitter is positioned at the vertex of the ellipsoid. As a result, a beam is directed at an angle of incidence of < 12° onto the opposite detector.

The emitting element of the light emitter is a filament made of resistor wire. The alloy comprises Cr, Ni, Al. The filament wire is 40 µm thick.

In the assembled sensor, the reflector with built-in light emitter is encapsulated away from the interior of the sensor head by a CaF2 disc. This design prevents sampling gas from reaching the hot light emitter, and igniting oxygen and the anesthetic, in the event of a leak in the cuvette. Furthermore, any gaseous substances emitted by the hot light emitter are kept away from the cuvette. This avoid an undesired coating on the optical components as a result of prolonged use.

3.2.2Light emitter specification

Cold resistance Rc = 13.0 ohms ± 11%

Hot resistance Rh = 13.0 ohms * 1.06 = 13.78 ohms ±11%

Peak output = 290 mA * 290 mA * 13.78 ohms = 1.16 W

3.2.3Light emitter control circuit

The light emitter is operated with a square-wave modulated constant current of 290 mA at 22.0 Hz.

This light emitter current is measured with an AD converter (shunt resistor 0.5 ohms ± 2%) and monitored by the software of the MOPS PCB.

The supply voltage of the light emitter control circuit is also monitored by AD converter and voltage divider. The setpoint is set via a digital serial potentiometer controlled by the MOPS PCB.

The supply voltage is measured when the light emitter is off (low phase of light emitter modulation).

3.2.4Light emitter protection circuits

When the connection between the MOPS PCB and the BASE PCB is interrupted, a protection circuit immediately shuts down the light emitter.

A protection circuit also prevents the average light emitter current from exceeding 81 mA (tolerance = 3%) in the event of a fault (e.g. software crash). The response time (tA) of the protection circuit is 65 ms ± 15 ms. This condition applies when the light emitter was previously off and is then switched to continuous current.

3.2.5Cuvette

Notice:

Do not generate an excess pressure in the cuvette.

The sampling gas is routed through a cuvette in the sensor head. In the optical beam path it is sealed on each side by a bonded-in CaF2 glass window pane. The gas inlet and outlet form the two connectors. The direction of flow of the sampling gas is indicated by arrows on the housing adjacent to the connectors.

For absorption reasons the distance between the light emitter window and the detector window is 6 mm.

3.2.6Multispectrum detector

In the multispectrum detector the optical beam path is distributed across the four measuring channels and routed to the relevant detector chip by infrared narrow-band filters.

The optical beam enters the multispectrum detector through a hermetically sealed window. On the floor of its housing is a matrix-style array of four-sided reflective pyramids with a side length of 0.15 mm x 0.15 mm (beam splitters). The optical beam entering through the window hits this beam splitter and is split by each individual pyramid in pixel style into four separate beams. The pixel-style design results in a genuine beam mix, which is insensitive to partial contamination in the beam path. The housing also contains four infrared optical narrow-band filters and four pyroelectric detector chips. These components are arranged such that one infrared filter detector combination is illuminated by each of the four beam paths emitted from the beam splitter. Each of the four beam paths represents a measuring channel. The basic design of the multispectrum detector is shown in the following diagram:

Fig. 7: Basic design of the multispectrum detector

The infrared optical filters (band-pass filters) are dimensioned in terms of their wavelength such that light is transmitted in three channels at the wavelength of the sampled gases. The remaining spectrum is blocked by these three filters. When a gas is present light is absorbed and the resultant change of intensity measured in the respective channel is a measure of the concentration of the gas.

The fourth channel (reference channel) measures at a wavelength at which none of the sampled gases absorbs. With the reference signal, ambient influences such as temperature fluctuations, cuvette contamination, and light emitter aging are compensated and corrected.

The detector elements and the upstream filters are tilted 30°. As a result, the reflected beam strikes perpendicular to the filter plane and the detector plane.

3.2.7Pressure sensor

The ILCA sensor head delivers its measured values as partial pressures or as the non-pressure-dependent unit vol.%. Fluctuations in cuvette pressure have no effect on the measured values. An absolute pressure sensor measures the pressure in the cuvette and, where appropriate, the ambient pressure (e.g. during zeroing).

The pressure measurement is fast enough to represent fluctuations in respiratory pressure (T90 better than 200 ms).

Measuring range:

The sensor head is able to measure at ambient pressures between 670 mbar and 1100 mbar. For the measuring range of the pressure sensor it should be considered that the pressure in the cuvette may be as much as 200 mbar below ambient pressure (vacuum in the suction system).

3.2.8Sensor heating (FET)

An insulated power FET which is screwed onto the cuvette is used for temperature stabilization of the cuvette (setpoint temperature 58 °C). The drain source resistor of the FET is controlled via a control voltage and is used as sensor heating. The current that flows through the FET determines the heating output with the voltage drop across the FET.

The setpoint of the temperature is specified by the MOPS software. The microcontroller on the MOPS PCB control a digital potentiometer located on the AMO ILCA PCB power module. Its output voltage is routed to the FET via an impedance converter. The temperature is monitored by an NTC.

3.2.9Memory for calibration data

All calibration data, serial numbers, and settings required to operate the sensor head are stored in an EEPROM on the Base PCB in the sensor head.

3.3Sensor head operation

The sensor head attains its full accuracy when it has reached its operating temperature and a stable temperature distribution. The time from power-on until ready-to-measure is determined by the duration of the warm-up phase. The warm-up phase is dependent on the temperature distribution when the sensor is powered up. The sensor software optimizes the starting behavior. In the worst case the sensor head attains its specified accuracy no later than 4 minutes after power-on.

3.3.1Self test

The sensor head software performs a self-test when the system starts up and continuously during measurement operation. In the event of an error the sensor software generates the relevant status message and shuts down the system if necessary.

RETURN TO THIS MANUAL'S TABLE OF CONTENTS

RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.3.2Zeroing

The measurement signals of the sensor head may drift over a lengthy period in operation (due to aging, temperature fluctuations, etc.). Contamination of the cuvette can also impair signal intensity. Consequently, a reset to zero is performed on completion of the warm-up phase and then every 2 hours. Ambient air (as reference gas) is present in the cuvette during zeroing.

During operation, system states may occur (such as sudden contamination of the cuvette) which necessitate an additional zeroing. The sensor software detects such states automatically.

3.4Measured value units

The measured values of the ILCA sensor head are produced from the measured values in the cuvette. There is no conversion to the conditions at other points in the system, such as in the Y-piece or the patient’s lung.

3.4.1General remarks on the concentration figures

The concentration of the anesthetics is calculated by referencing the measured partial pressures of the gas components to the overall pressure in the cuvette.

The concentrations can be scaled in two different ways. As a physical unit, the standard representation is in percent by volume [vol.%], i.e. referred to 100%.

Conversely, for some gases medical experts apply a reference to 760 Torr. This figure in a pressure unit is not a pressure, however, but a concentration, and must not be confused with a partial pressure!

The concentrations are converted from vol.% to Torr as follows:

100 Vol.% = 760 "Torr"

1 vol.% * (760 /100 Torr/vol.%) = 7.6 Torr

1 Torr * (100/760 vol.%/Torr) = 0.1316 vol.%

It is essential that this conversion of the concentrations should be distinguished from conversion of the pressures!

A water trap and a Teflon hose

3.6Tubing

The pressure surges generated by the pump are minimized by a pneumatic low-pass filter consisting of a restrictor (R1) and a damper (C1). These components are mounted in the module housing of ILCA.

Dimensioning of R1:

R1 is small enough for the pump not to be placed under unnecessary strain. However, an inadequate input load may make it impossible to set the target flow of 150 mL/min.

R1 is large enough so that the pressure surges occurring in the cuvette do not impair the signal ratio and noise ratio in gas sampling.

Dimensioning of R2:

In a zeroing operation, the valve switchover is also tested based on the pressure drop. In this case the pressure drop via the restrictor R2 and the ambient air filter is significantly less than the minimum pressure drop via the water trap and the suction tubing to the patient.

3.7Pump

The pump flow is 150 mL/min ± 20 mL/min. The supply voltage is in the range from 2.5 V to 7.5 V DC at a current of up to 150 mA.

“"MOPS" stands for "Modular Platform for Sensors". A modular concept by which suitable sensor components (pneumatic and mechanical components) can be operated together by way of a processor board. The resultant arrangements are operated by a software program with a unified communications interface. In this way, the user is provided with a uniform view of the measurement parameters on offer, irrespective of the components deployed. The software is automatically configured for the connected components when the system starts up.

With this concept, different gas sampling modules (for example ILCA and IRIA) can be configured for specific customer needs using standard components.

The MOPS PCB calculates values of the patient parameters and controls the sensor head signals.

Service LEDs for the pump voltage, the valves, and the supply voltage.

A temperature-compensated differential pressure sensor for flow metering. The sensor offset is corrected with a serial digital potentiometer.

The flow is measured by way of the differential pressure of restrictor R1 plus the upstream sintered-metal filter. The measuring range is 0 to 350 mbar.

The AMO FLOW ILCA PCB is connected directly to a 60-pin connector on the MOPS PCB and is detected automatically by the MOPS PCB.

3.9.2Safety concept

The following voltages are routed via the AD converter of the MOPS PCB to the switch-mode regulator in order to monitor limits and regulate the flow:

the differential pressure

the pump voltage

a voltage proportional to the pump current

a voltage proportional to the total valve current

3.9.3Valve

The valve at X4 switches between ambient air and patient air. An optional valve at X5 is possible (is not mounted in VAMOS).

The valve is non-polarized. There is no preferred position for the plug connector. A mechanical lock prevents the valves from detaching from the connector.
