Operating Instructions Artec
1 General Information
The Medical Equipment Regulations (MedGV), and the law on technical medical working
materials (MPBetreibV) stipulate that the attention of the operator must be drawn to the
following:
The operation of the Unit must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Exact knowledge
and understanding of the Operating Instructions is a pre-conditioned for operation.
Use of the equipment is solely for that as stipulated in the Operating Instructions.
Inspections and servicing must be duly entered in the Logbook of the Unit. The Equipment
must be inspected at regular intervals by qualified personnel only.
F.Stephan GmbH stipulates a half-yearly inspection and maintenance by one of its
authorized Service Technicians.
Before each use of the unit, a complete function test of the unit must be carried out.
In the case on medico.technical devices with electrical connection, the standards of
particular VDE 0751 and IEC 601 must be closely complied with. According to these
standards, such devices may only be set up and put into operation by the manufacturer or
his expressedly authorized technician or dealership.
Unit equipped with a pressure reducer should undergo a basic overhaul at least every 5
years for reasons of safety.
An emergency ventilation system (e.g. Ambu-Bag) must always be in close proximity of
the unit.
F. Stephan shall assume no responsibility or liability for any damage or defects arising
from non-observance of the above-mentioned information.

Operating Instructions Artec
2 Technical Description
Driven by customer requests and requirements, the ARTEC model series had been
designed and developed as a compact universal version. At the same time high qualitystandards and maximum economy has been achieved.
The elementary structure ensures a good overview and quick allocation and adjustment of
parameters for the respective unit components. The ARTEC anesthesia unit is an
inhalation anesthesia unit that is equipped with a anesthesia agent specific vaporizer for
use in a semi-closed system
The unit consists of a basic housing of stainless steel in which a drawer is provided.
Located above that is the gas-mix unit (GME, with which the available medical gases O2,
N2O and (optional) compressed air can be dosaged.
The GME consists of an integrated pneumatic unit with relvant safety valves providing for
N20 block and O2 deficiency signal and the dosage unit for the above-mentioned medical
gases.
On the right-hand side, an anesthesia agent specific vaporizer can be mounted on special
mounting racks ( one or two-fold).
Located on the basic unit and depending on model, there is provided a stainless steel shelf
for additional monitoring or a ventilation module with integrated monitoring.
On the reverse side of the unit there are standard connections for gas supply linea and
depending on model, holding racks for reserve bottles with integrated high-pressure
reducers.
The unit is also equipped with four plug sockets for electrical power supply for additional
monitors. These sockets are constantly supplied with current regardless of the Ventilators
ON/OFF power supply status.
2.1 Possible Expansion and Upgrading of the Unit
Basic Model
The ARTEC basic model is suitable for wall mounting. For such mounting, the mounting
rails of the basic unit ar attached to the V2A rails.
For wall mounting, exact vertical mounting of the unit must be strictly observed, otherwise
inexact mounting could lead to falsh measuring results of gas flows. An adjustable
distancer device provides a precise alignment of the unit.
Unit Model with Mobile Stand
The unit can be mounted on a mobile stand that enables and ensures variable site
operation.
The basic unit can be mounted on the mobile stand profile (80x30) by tightening the four
mounting bolts. The mobile stand can be equipped with a stand-alone oxygen,
compressed air and vacuum generator module „STAXEL“

Operating Instructions Artec
Gas Supply:
The unit is designed with a central gas supply coupling connection. A set of hoses is
supplied with the unit for the three types of gases O
, N2O and compressed air ( if air is
2
provided).
Gas supply can either be via a central gas supply network, or via bottle supply with 10 litre
bottles O2 and N2O. To ensure uninterrupted gas supply, in the event of breakdown of the
central gas supply, 2 litre reserve bottles can be connected.
An alternative to bottled gas supply, the ARTEC anesthesia unit offers the possiblity of a
decentalized oxygen supply via the supply „outlet“. This is the „STAXEL“ that has been
especially developed as an oxygen / compressed air and vacuum generator.
Ventilation Module:
The ventilation module ABVA is
easy to use and can eventually
mounted to the basic unit later on.
For this the V
A shelf is removed
2
from the basic unit. After that the
ventilation module can be mounted
to the basic unit via two mounting
bolts. The compressed air supply of
the ventilator is created via a
connection line to the basic unit.

Operating Instructions Artec
After attaching the V
A shelf, you now
2
have a respiratory-contolled anesthesia
ventilation system with the current
necessary state-of-the-art monitoring
system.
It is strongly advised to have the
installation carried out by our specially
trained Stephan Service Team.
2.2 Scope of Use and Application
The ARTEC is an inhalation anesthesia unit for the manual anesthesia of infants, children
and adults.
It can be used in conjunction with a ISO circuit system, but can also be operated with open
ventilation systems. The scope of applications of the ARTEC anesthesia unit ranges from
use in the practitioner’s surgery to hospital operation theatres.

The O2-measuring range contains two measuring devices. This

Operating Instructions Artec
3.2 O2 – Ratiosystem (optional)
The Gasmixing units GME 3 and GME 4 can be equipped optionally with a pneumatical
system to assure at every flowrange of N2O a minimum concentration of oxygen of 25 %
O2 (+/- 5%).
The so called O2 - Ratiosystem avoids the delivery of pure N2O to the breathing system.
Mode of operation
The O
– Ratiosystem examines the O2 – Flowrate. If there is no O2 – Flow the N2O – Line
2
is blocked. Thus it is impossible to apply pure N
O to the breathing system without opening
2
the O2 – Valve at the GME. Only when the O2 – Valve is opened counterclockwise, a N2O
– flow according the flowrate of O2 can be adjusted. The minimal achievable oxygen
concentration is 25 % +/- 5%.
Control of function
1. Close O2 – and N2O – Valve at the GME.
2. Open N2O – Valve to maximum There should be no N2O – Flow
3. Open O2 – Valve counterclockwise N2O – Flow is increasing
For example:
Adjust 1 l/min O2 N2O – Flow should be 3 l/min +/- 0,2 l/min
Adjust 3 l/min O2 N2O – Flow should be 9 l/min +/- 0,6 l/min
The O2 – Ratiosystem controls the O2 – concentration in the freshgas.
It doesent prevent in any case a hypoxic gasmixture in the circlesystem.
Caution
Please do control the inspiratory O2 – concentration by using an
oxygenmonitor.
