S/5 Airway modules INTRODUCTION The S/5 Airway Modules, G-AO, G-AiO, G-AOV and G-AiOV are designed for use with the S/5 Anesthesia Monitor and provide airway and respiratory parameters. Later in this manual modules can be called w/o system name S/5. This Technical Reference Manual Slot provides information for the maintenance and service of the airway modules.

S/5 Airway modules FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 2.1 Measurement principle 2.1.1 CO O and Agent measurement The CO O, and anesthetic agent gas measurements are based on absorption of infrared light as it passes through the gas sample in measuring chamber in the photometer. The light absorption is measured at three wavelengths using an infrared detector.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.1.2 O measurement The differential oxygen measuring unit uses the paramagnetic principle in a pneumatic bridge configuration. The signal picked up with a differential pressure transducer is generated in a measuring cell with a strong magnetic field that is switched on and off at a frequency of 110 Hz.
S/5 Airway modules 2.1.3 Agent identification The anesthetic agent identification bench identifies Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane and Sevoflurane. The bench measures the spectrum of the gas between 3.24 µm and 3.39 µm. Because the spectrum of each of the anaesthetic agents is different it is possible to identify them. The bench consists of an infrared source, a measuring chamber, a rotating filter and a detector.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.1.4 Patient Spirometry In anesthesia, CMV (Controlled Mechanical Ventilation) is the mostly used ventilation mode. In this mode, mechanical breaths are delivered to the patient by a ventilator with a proper tidal volume (TV), respiration rate (RR), and inspiration/expiration ratio in time (I:E) determined by the settings of the ventilator.
S/5 Airway modules Patient Spirometry sensor, D-lite Patient Spirometry is measured with a specific sensor, D-lite or Pedi-lite. D-lite and Pedi-lite sensors are designed to measure kinetic pressure by two-sided Pitot tube. The pressure reduction caused by measuring cross is taken into account, too, especially in small flows. Velocity is calculated from pressure difference according to Bernoulli's equation.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.1 Gas sampling system The gas sampling system samples the measured air to the module, and removes water and impurities from it. A sampling line is connected to the water trap on the front panel. The pump draws gas through the sampling line to gas measuring units.
Page 17
S/5 Airway modules Gas measuring units, ACX-200 and O unit After the zero valve, the gas passes through the ACX-200 and O measuring units. In the ACX-200 measuring unit, infrared light is passed through chambers containing the main flow gas (measurement) and a chamber containing reference gas.

Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.2 ACX-200 measuring unit The ACX photometer is of dual path type. The infrared light beam passes through a measuring chamber containing the gas to be analyzed, and a reference chamber, which is free of CO and AA.
S/5 Airway modules Figure 10 O/AA measurement block diagram 2.2.3 OM measuring unit The oxygen measurement is based on the paramagnetic susceptibility, which is a unique property of oxygen among all gases generally present in a breathing gas mixture. The gas to be measured and the reference gas, which usually is room air, are conducted into a gap in an electromagnet with a strong magnetic field switched on and off at a frequency of approximately 110 Hz.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.4 ACX measuring board The measuring electronics can be divided into a few functional blocks, which are described below (see the block diagram in figure 11). The ACX Measuring board controls gas measurements. It converts the photometer signal into digital data, calculates results and transmits it to Gas mother board.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.5 ASX agent identification bench The ASX-200 agent identification bench has one measuring chamber. Background compensation is done by subtracting the background spectrum from the measured signal. Background spectrum is measured simultaneously with the zeroing of the ACX-200 unit. The resulting spectrum is analyzed to identify the agent.
S/5 Airway modules EEPROM is a 64 x 16 bit serial chip. It is partly protected so that if jumper X1 is installed the processor can erase or write the protected registers by serial communication commands. The protected section contains permanent factory calibrations. Figure 13 ASX measuring board block diagram Document No.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.7 PVX board When Patient Spirometry is used, special sensors, D-lite or Pedi-lite, replaces the normal airway adapter in the patient circuit. The spirometry tubing is attached to the two connectors on the sensor and on the module front panel.

Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.8 Gas mother board The Gas mother board controls power supply to each measuring unit, as well as the serial communication between the units and the module processor. There are connectors for the pump, valves and gas measuring units on the board. The board contains a processor which controls the functions within the module.
S/5 Airway modules Valves, pump and infrared lamps control Valves are controlled by ACX Measuring board from which the control signals are ran through buffer IC to the valve connector. OCCLUS signal controls the pressure (occlusion) valve and ZERO signal controls the zero valve.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 2.2.9 Gas interface board The Gas interface board, B-GAS is used for connecting an Airway Module to the Central Unit. The board connects Airway Module signals to the module bus and supplies voltages from the module bus to the Airway Module.

Field service of the airway modules is limited to replacing faulty circuit boards or mechanical parts. The circuit boards should be returned to Datex-Ohmeda for repair. Datex-Ohmeda is always available for service advice. Please provide the unit serial number, full type designation, and a detailed fault description.
Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Monitor 3.2 Service check These instructions include complete procedures for a service check. The service check is recommended to be performed after any service repair. However, the service check procedures can also be used for determining possible failures.

S/5 Airway modules Perform gas calibration: AIRWAY GAS - GAS CALIBRATION NOTE: For maximum accuracy, a warm-up time of 30 minutes is recommended. NOTE: If the module contains the agent identification unit, the ASX-100 or ASX-200, keep feeding gas at least 15 seconds after the message ‘Adjust’ appears in the menu. This way the agent identification unit has enough time for calibration.

S/5 Airway modules 3.3 Disassembly and reassembly The airway module (G-AiOV) is disassembled in the following way. See the exploded view. Remove three screws from the rear panel. Remove one thumb screw and one 5 mm cross recess screw from the bottom of the airway module case.
• Gas response is slow • NOTE: Adjust the flows with a new, clean D-fend water trap and original Datex-Ohmeda sampling line. NOTE: Before adjusting the flows, make sure that there is no leakage in the sampling system. NOTE: Let the monitor warm up for 30 minutes before measuring flow rates.

The only field service procedures for the O measuring unit are the offset (zero), gain, and frequency adjustments. In case of any other trouble, the measuring unit should be replaced and the faulty one sent to Datex-Ohmeda for repair. Document No. 800 1005-1...
Page 51
S/5 Airway modules Offset (zero) adjustment Because the oxygen measuring unit is a differential sensor, which actually measures the difference between the O concentrations in the sample and reference gases, its output must be adjusted to equal zero when atmospheric air is present at both inputs. Connect a digital voltmeter to the output of the O measuring unit at pin 7 of connector X4 on the Gas mother board.

NOTE: If any liquid has entered the ACX-200 measuring unit due to water trap filter failure, contact Datex-Ohmeda technical services. 4.2.1 Sampling system leak test Connect power cord and sampling line. Turn the power on and wait until the initialization is over.
Because of the complex and very sensitive construction of the oxygen measuring unit no repairs should be attempted inside the unit. Instead, if the fault has been found in the measuring unit itself, it should be replaced and the faulty unit be sent to Datex-Ohmeda for repair. In cases of no response to O or strong drift, check the tubing for loose connections, blockages and leaks.
