Introduction
WEINMANN has been developing, manufacturing
and selling devices for emergency medicine, for
oxygen therapy and for inhalation therapy for
decades.
The objective of these servicing and repair
instructions is to make you, an expert, familiar with
the function, technology and repair of
MODUL CapnoVol. In conjunction with the training
session you have already received from
WEINMANN, you are now considered a “trained
expert specialist”, so can properly instruct your
customers, eliminate faults independently and
perform the function checks specified in the
instructions for use and any repairs in accordance
with these servicing and repair instructions.
In the event of a claim under warranty, send
MODUL CapnoVol to WEINMANN.
Please enclose the end-customer’s proof of
purchase (invoice) to enable us to process
warranty or goodwill claims.
Repairs and servicing work may only be
performed by WEINMANN or by trained
specialists.
You are responsible for repairs carried out yourself
and for guaranteeing them!
Use only genuine WEINMANN replacement parts
for repairs.
Please remember:
your customer trusts you and is relying on your
capability in the same way as you rely on
WEINMANN.

2. Description of device
2.1 Intended purpose
MODUL CapnoVol is a device for measuring
respiratory parameters on exhalation.
The following are shown as figures:
•tidal volume (TVe)
•minute volume (MVe)
•respiratory frequency (AF)
•ratio of inspiration to exhalation (I:E)
•carbon dioxide concentration at the end of
exhalation (etCO2)
MODUL CapnoVol can be used in a permanent
location or on a mobile basis both indoors and
outdoors.
2.2 Description of function
Measuring volume flow
Volume flow is measured on the principle of heat energy transmission (hot-wire method). This method
measures the time taken to transfer heat from one central transmission wire to the lateral reception wires. Tidal
volume (TV), minute volume (MV), respiratory frequency (AF) and the ratio of inspiration to exhalation (I:E) are
determined from the values measured.
Sampling and gas analysis
A small pump inside the device extracts respiratory gas from the patient's respiratory flow at an adjustable
gas flow rate (secondary flow method). The respiratory gas is fed to a measuring cell via a water filter. The
CO2 concentration of the dry gas is determined in the measuring cell. The measuring method used in the
process is based on infrared absorption spectrometry.
CO2 measurement and display of measured values
The patient's exhalation gas is dried for technical reasons before it enters the measuring device. So that the
measured values still reflect actual conditions in the moist respiratory air, MODUL CapnoVol incorporates
the water vapor partial pressure of moisture-saturated air in its calculation. The value displayed thus includes
the water vapor in the exhaled gas (water vapor correction).
Several measured values are determined for each breath. The CO2 concentration measured can be
displayed in vol %, in mmHg or in kPa. Barometric altitude pressure is taken into account and compensated
accordingly.
The CO2 concentration determined is shown in the form of a capnogram. The maximum value at the end of
exhalation is called the end-tidal CO2 value (etCO2) or also final concentration of carbon dioxide on
exhalation. It is displayed as a figure.

3. Hygiene treatment
3.1 Intervals
You must subject MODUL CapnoVol and any
accessories used to a hygiene treatment after every
use.
After that, always perform a function check (see
Section “8. Function check” in the instructions for
use).
3.2 MODUL CapnoVol and sensor cable
Warning!
Never immerse MODUL CapnoVol or the sensor
cable in disinfectant or other liquids, otherwise
damage to the device and thus a hazard to users
and patients may result.
MODUL CapnoVol and the sensor cable are kept
clean by simply washing or wiping with
disinfectant.

(1): You must remove sensor cable 18, CO2 extraction tube 15 and the ventilation tube from the BiCheck
flow sensor 13, as these cannot be autoclaved.
(2): Immerse the component in dilute solution so that all surfaces, both internal and external, are wetted
without bubbles. Allow full time for product to take effect. Following disinfecting, rinse all parts inside
and out thoroughly with distilled water and then leave them to dry.
(3): Hot steam sterilization with devices to EN 285, temperature 134 ˚C, retention time 5 minutes.
(4): Add a suitable disinfectant additive to the rinse cycle (30 ˚C in the washing machine, no spin).
