Aespire View 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.
3 Operation 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.
Aespire View • The active low flow system with a 25 mm barb connector is for use with low vacuum disposal systems. It requires an external venturi/ejector system with a 40 to 50 l/min extract flow. A flow indicator on the system indicates when the unit is in operation.

• Test all other system components. If a test fails, do not use the equipment. Have a Datex-Ohmeda trained service representative repair the equipment. In this section Every day before your first patient ....4-2 Before every patient .
Aespire View Every day before your first patient Check that necessary emergency equipment is available and in good condition. Check that the equipment is not damaged and that components are correctly attached. Check that pipeline gas supplies are connected and cylinders are installed and adequately filled.
4 Preoperative Checkout Before every patient Note This check does not need to be done before the first case of the day if the “Every day before your first patient” check was done. Check that necessary emergency equipment is available and in good condition.
Aespire View Inspect the system WARNING Do not exceed the top shelf weight limit of 34 kg (75 lb). Make sure that the breathing circuit is correctly connected and not damaged. Replace the breathing circuit if it is damaged. Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use.
5 Preoperative Tests Power failure alarm test 1. With the System switch set to On, unplug the power cord. 2. Make sure that the power failure alarm sounds. 3. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet. 4. Verify that the alarm tone stops. Pipeline test 1.
Aespire View Cylinder test CAUTION To prevent damage to the system, open the cylinder valves slowly and do not force the flow controls. WARNING Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use. Cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve supply in case of pipeline failure.
5 Preoperative Tests Flow control test WARNING The Link-25 system cannot replace an O2 monitor. Sufficient O2 in the fresh gas may not prevent hypoxic mixtures in the breathing circuit. Nitrous oxide (N2O), if available, flows through the system during this test. Use a safe and approved procedure to collect and remove the N2O.
Page 56
Aespire View 6. Test the Link-25 system by increasing the N2O flow. • Slowly turn the N2O flow control counterclockwise. • Increase the N2O flow as specified in the following table and make sure the O2 flow is as specified.
5 Preoperative Tests Vaporizer installation WARNING Use only Datex-Ohmeda, Inc. Selectatec series vaporizers Tec 4 or greater. Do not use a vaporizer if it lifts off the manifold when the lock lever is in the locked position. Do not use the system if more than one vaporizer can be turned on at the same time.

Aespire View Ventilator theory The ventilator pneumatics are located in the rear of the breathing system. A precision flow 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.
10 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 sensor is an electrochemical device (galvanic cell). Oxygen diffuses through a membrane into the cell and oxidizes a base metal electrode.
