Avance Setting gas controls and There are two ways to configure gas controls: O2% with total flow or screen configuration individual gas flow. The Super User can set the gas control for the facility. Or the Super User can set the gas control to allow the user to select the setting.
3 Operation Alarm setup Alarm limits, alarm volume, and other alarm settings are adjusted in the Alarm Setup menu. Alarm history is also accessed through this menu. Selecting Default Limits loads the default settings as set by the Super User or the factory defaults if no Super User settings have been entered.
Avance Volume apnea Volume Apnea is not shown on the Alarm Setup menu when the Volume Apnea Selection is set to Disable in the Install/Service menu. Set Volume Apnea to Off to disable the volume apnea alarm during manual ventilation. ‘Volume Apnea Off’ shows in the general message field.
3 Operation Auto MV limit MV alarm limits can be calculated automatically for mechanical ventilation when in VCV or PCV-VG modes and volume compensation is enabled. Set Auto MV Limit to On for automatic calculations of the MV alarm limits. The MV alarm limits continue to be automatically calculated until Auto MV Limit is set to Off or until an MV alarm limit is manually adjusted during mechanical ventilation.
Avance Alternate O2 control WARNING The Alternate O2 control is not an auxiliary source of O2. Alternate O2 control delivers agent and O2 through an independent pneumatic path to the selected patient circuit and is connected to the system O2 supply. Alternate O2 control activates automatically in the case of certain failures or errors.
3 Operation EZchange canister (optional) Push the absorber canister release to activate the EZchange canister mode. The canister will swing down to the EZchange position. The EZchange canister mode seals the breathing circuit when the canister holder is down. This permits continued ventilation and rebreathing of exhaled gases while easily replacing the absorber canister.
Avance Condenser (optional) The condenser removes water in the system that is produced from the reaction of CO2 gas with the absorbent. When fresh gas flow settings of less than the patient minute volume are used during ventilation, the amount of re-breathed gas increases. More CO2 flows through the breathing system increasing the absorbent consumption.
3 Operation Passive AGSS (optional) WARNING Always verify the proper operation of any gas scavenging system; ensure the scavenging system is not occluded. The passive AGSS (Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System) contains both positive and negative pressure relief valves to protect the breathing system and the patient.
Avance Active AGSS (optional) WARNING Always verify the proper operation of any gas scavenging system; ensure the scavenging system is not occluded. There are several versions of the optional active AGSS (Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System) available depending on the hospital’s type of waste gas disposal system.
3 Operation Connecting active To use the optional active AGSS on a system that has a flow AGSS with a flow indicator, connect it as follows. indicator 1. Connect the proper hose to the AGSS outlet connector on the bottom of the AGSS underneath the breathing system. Attach the other end to the hospital disposal system.

Avance Gas supplies Pressurized gas supplies enter the system through a pipeline or cylinder connection. All connections have indexed fittings, filters, and check valves. A regulator decreases the cylinder pressures to the appropriate system pressure. A pressure relief valve helps protect the system from high pressures.
11 Specifications and Theory of Operation Condenser The condenser removes water in the system that is produced from the reaction of CO2 gas with the absorbent. When fresh gas flow settings of less than the patient minute volume are used during ventilation, the amount of re-breathed gas increases.

Avance Ventilator theory The ventilator pneumatics are at the rear of the breathing system. A precision valve controls gas flow to the patient. During inspiration, this gas flow closes the exhalation valve and pushes the bellows down. During expiration, a small flow pressurizes the exhalation diaphragm to supply PEEP pressure.
11 Specifications and Theory of Operation O2 monitoring theory O2 monitoring measures O2 concentration in the patient circuit. The of operation O2 concentration measured from the O2 cell is shown on the ventilator display. The O2 cell is an electrochemical device (galvanic cell). Oxygen diffuses through a membrane into the cell and oxidizes a base metal electrode.

Avance Volume control mode Volume control supplies a set tidal volume. The ventilator calculates a flow based on the set tidal volume and the length of the inspiratory time (TI) to deliver that tidal volume. It then adjusts that output by measuring delivered volumes at the flow sensors.
Page 167
11 Specifications and Theory of Operation Pressure control mode Pressure control supplies a constant set pressure during inspiration. The ventilator calculates the inspiratory time from the frequency and I:E ratio settings. A high initial flow pressurizes the circuit to the set inspiratory pressure.
Page 168
Avance SIMV/PSV mode Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) is a mode in which periodic volume breaths are delivered to the patient at preset intervals (time-triggered). Between the machine delivered breaths, the patient can breathe spontaneously at the rate, tidal volume and timing that the patient desires.
Page 169
11 Specifications and Theory of Operation PSVPro mode PSVPro is pressure supported ventilation with apnea backup. PSVPro is a spontaneous mode of ventilation that provides a constant pressure once the ventilator senses that the patient has made an inspiratory effort. In this mode, the clinician sets the Pressure Support (Psupport) and PEEP levels.

11 Specifications and Theory of Operation SIMV-PC mode Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation, Pressure Control is a mode in which a relatively slow mandatory breathing rate is set with pressure-controlled breathing. This mode combines mandatory breaths with spontaneous breath support. If a trigger event occurs within the synchronization window, a new pressure-controlled breath is initiated.
Page 172
Avance PCV-VG mode In PCV-VG, a tidal volume is set and the ventilator delivers that volume using a decelerating flow and a constant pressure. The ventilator will adjust the inspiratory pressure needed to deliver the set tidal volume breath-by-breath so that the lowest pressure is used.
