(Transportation, Parts 171-180) for further information.
WARNING: Avoid exposure to respiratory gases by always directing the fresh gas flow from
the fresh gas outlet to the waste gas scavenger.
Cautions
CAUTION: This device uses high pressure compressed gas. When attaching or
disconnecting backup gas cylinders, always turn the cylinder valves slowly. Use the A5/A3
flow meters to bleed down the pressure, watching the cylinder gauge indicate the depleting
cylinder pressure, before disconnecting the cylinder from the yoke. Always open and close
cylinder valves fully.
CAUTION: This device operates using compressed gas at high pressures from the hospital
central supply. When connecting gas supply lines attach the hose connection to the machine
before connecting the quick disconnect fitting to the hospital source. Disconnect the supply
hose from the hospital source connection prior to disconnecting it from the A5/A3 gas
connection fittings.
CAUTION: Refer to Section 3.3 Periodical Maintenance Schedule for assistance when
performing scheduled periodic maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use and the
system master switch is turned to 'ON'. If used simultaneously, cylinder supplies could be
depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve supply in the event of pipeline failure.
CAUTION: Use cleaning agent sparingly. Excess fluid could enter the machine, causing
damage.
CAUTION: This machine must only be operated by trained, skilled medical staff.
CAUTION: Perform the electrical safety inspection as the last step after completing a repair
or after routine maintenance. Perform this inspection with all covers, panels, and screws
installed.
CAUTION: After changing the CO2 absorbent, carry out a system leak test.
CAUTION: Only Selectatec™ compatible vaporizers with Interlock-System may be used
with the A5/A3 unit.
CAUTION: After each exchange of a vaporizer, carry out a system Leak test.
CAUTION: Do not clean the machine while it is on and/or plugged in.
CAUTION: Pressing “cancel” at any time during the procedure will cancel the session's
settings and reload the previously-stored calibration coefficients.
CAUTION: Depleted sodalime changes color. Replace the sodalime if approximately 2/3 of
the absorber content is discolored. CO2 absorbent can be safely changed without stopping
mechanical ventilation.
CAUTION: This equipment contains parts sensitive to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Use ESD precautionary procedures when touching, removing, or inserting parts or
assemblies.
NOTE: Unauthorized servicing may void the remainder of the warranty. Check with the
factory or with a local authorized distributor to determine the warranty status of a particular
instrument.
1 Theory of Operation
1.1 Introduction
The A5/A3 Anesthesia System is a continuous flow inhalation gas anesthesia system that
delivers anesthetic vapor, and provides for automatic and manual modes of ventilation. It is
equipped with a monitoring system for ventilation, inspired, and expired gas. The A5/A3 is
intended for use in operating rooms. It will be used with O2, N2O, and AIR supplied by a
medical gas pipeline system or by externally mounted gas cylinders. Anesthetic agents can be
delivered via vaporizers mounted on the machine.
The A5 ventilator provides the following ventilation modes:
Volume Control Ventilation (VCV), which includes the Pressure Limit Ventilation (PLV)
function
Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) with/without Volume Guarantee (VG) ventilation
mode
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) with VC mode
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) with PC mode
Pressure Support (PS) ventilation mode
Spontaneous ventilation in Manual mode with APL fully open
Manual ventilation through the use of a breathing bag
The A3 ventilator provides the following ventilation modes:
Volume Control Ventilation (VCV), which includes the Pressure Limit Ventilation (PLV)
function
Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV)
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) with VC mode
Pressure Support (PS) ventilation mode
Spontaneous ventilation in Manual mode with APL fully open
Manual ventilation through the use of a breathing bag
Electronic PEEP is available in all ventilation modes. User control over inspiratory flow
(Tslope) is possible in PCV, SIMV, and PS modes. Automatic fresh gas compensation limits
the effect on the patient ventilation from changes in fresh gas flow rate by the operator. The
traditional bellows system is driven by oxygen and makes patient disconnections clearly
visible.
The A5/A3 fresh gas dosing subsystem offers the ease of use and features of a traditional
anesthesia system. The dual-flow tubes electronic flowmeter, which includes redundant
numerical readouts, displays the O2, N2O, and Air flows at all times. A knob guard prevents
inadvertent movement of the flow control knobs. Gas supply gauges and auxiliary O2/Air
flowmeters with blended output indicate the gas pipeline supply pressures and gas cylinder
pressures. An auxiliary O2 flowmeter is placed at a convenient location for the operator. The
O2 flush button is in the traditional location near the front left corner of the table top.
Safety systems within the A5/A3 work to prevent hypoxic mixtures from being delivered to
the patient. Nitrous oxide will not be delivered unless oxygen pressure is present. A
pneumatic safety system assures that at least 21% O2 is present when setting mixtures of O2
and N2O.
The A5/A3 breathing system is heated to minimize condensation inside the breathing system
block and to return humid gas to the patient. The breathing system provides easy access to the
Airway Pressure Limiting (APL) valve and breathing bag, and easy viewing of the Airway
Pressure gauge (PAW). The APL valve has a comfortable, single turn knob that provides a
clear view of the manual breathing pressure setting. The absorber assembly incorporates a
cam lock device that is convenient to open and close. CO2 absorbent Pre-paks or loose fill
can be used. A water trap that can be drained is also provided on the absorber assembly.
Two flow sensors in the breathing system measure inspired and expired gases for control and
monitoring. Spirometry is standard on the A5. Inspired oxygen is monitored via a fuel-cell
type sensor. Breathing pressure is also monitored. The breathing system can swivel into
position. A test plug, next to the two main hose connections, allows automated leak testing
during startup. The Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) connections are at the rear of
A5/A3.
The A5/A3 is powered by an AC power source. In turn, the A5/A3 power management
system provides DC power for its main system functions while charging its internal battery
supply. In case of AC power failure, the A5/A3 operates on battery power for a minimum of
75 minutes with one (1) new battery installed (A3) or 150 minutes with two (2) new batteries
installed (A5). A recessed main switch is provided to power the system ON and OFF. Four (4)
auxiliary AC outlets on the A5 and three (3) auxiliary AC outlets on the A3 at the rear of the
machine operate independently of the main switch position.
NOTE: The breathing system heater does not operate when the A5/A3 is on battery power.
NOTE: If the main switch is set to OFF, the O2 fresh gas flow will not flow.

1.3.4 Description
1.3.4.1 Anesthetic Gas Delivery System
The Anesthetic Gas Delivery System is connected to the anesthetic agent delivery device
(vaporizer), breathing system, and anesthetic ventilator; and outputs fresh gas. The following
figure shows the pneumatic circuit of the Anesthetic Gas Delivery System.
The following picture illustrates how gas supplies are outputted. O2 is divided into four
pathways – system switch (24), O2 flush valve (20), auxiliary O2 supply (51), and high
pressure O2 output (44), respectively. Air enters two pathways – one pathway to the needle
valve (58) and the other to the auxiliary Air supply (3). N2O goes to the ORC (25).
When the system switch (24) is turned on, O2 enters the needle valve (58). When O2 flow is
greater than 300ml, N2O can enter the needle valve (58) through ORC 25. After passing
through the needle valve (58), the pre-set pneumatic resistance (59) controls the O2 and N2O
proportions and ensures the minimum O2 concentration.

The converged gas goes from the total flow meter (50) to the anesthetic agent delivery device
(vaporizer), forming fresh gas after mixed with the anesthetic agent. The fresh gas then goes
from the check valve (28) through the CGO (29) assembly to the breathing system. The
flushing O2 also enters the breathing system through the CGO (29) assembly.

The above picture shows the O2 pipeline supply inlet assembly. The anesthesia machine’s
pneumatic circuit starts from the gas supplies, which function to introduce the external
pipeline or cylinder gases into the machine. Since the pressure of external gas is very high
and the external gas contains foreign substances, the pressure reducing valves, filters, and
pressure relief valves are available in the supply gas circuit. Also, the check valves are
equipped in the supply gas circuit to prevent gas from flowing back into the pipeline or
cylinder.
The anesthesia machine has pipeline and cylinder gas supplies available. Pipeline gas
supplies go into the pipeline gas supply inlet assemblies through pipeline connectors 1, 3, and
5, respectively. The pipeline pressure ranges between 280 and 600 kPa. Cylinder gas supplies
go into the system through cylinder connectors 2, 4, and 6, respectively. The O2 and Air
cylinder pressures are 6.9 to 15 MPa, and the N2O cylinder pressure is 4.2 to 6 MPa, both of
which are decreased to 400 kPa through three regulators (7). Each connector is clearly
marked and designed to prevent misconnection. All connectors have filters and check valves.
Color coded gauges show the pipeline and cylinder pressures. The Pressure Relief Valve (8)
functions to prevent the supply gas pressure from being too high. It releases excess gas when
the gas pressure exceeds 758 kPa. Each supply gas is outputted after gas pressure is
decreased below 200 kPa through the regulator (23). The Pressure Switch (22) monitors the
O2 supply pressure. When the O2 supply pressure is less than approximately 220 kPa, the
ventilator gives an alarm indicating O2 supply failure.

System Switch Assembly
O2 goes into the system switch (24); and flows into the needle valve. The system switch has
an electrical outlet that controls the power-on status of the system. When the system switch is
turned on, O2 enters the needle valve and the system is powered on simultaneously. The
anesthetic ventilator starts to monitor the status of the system. When the system switch is
turned off, O2 cannot enter the needle valve and the system is powered off.
Flow Adjust and Control Assembly
The Needle Valve (58) controls the gas flows. The ORC (25) controls the proportion between
O2 and N2O, and ensures that the O2 concentration is not less than 21%. Turning the needle
valve knob counterclockwise increases the flow; turning it clockwise decreases the flow.

Flow Display Assembly
The electronic flowmeter (26) and total flow meter (50) constitute the flow display assembly.
Gases from the flow adjust and control assembly and mixed gas going through the anesthetic
agent delivery device (vaporizer) are outputted. The electronic flowmeter (26) measures and
displays the flow of each gas. The total flow meter (50) displays the total gas flow.
O2 Flush Button Assembly
The above picture shows the O2 flush button assembly. When the O2 flush valve (20) is
depressed, O2 rushes into the pneumatic circuit, which is cut off when this valve is released.
The O2 supply gas at 0.2 MPa, after being regulated, goes through the O2 flush valve, the
CGO assembly, and into the breathing system. The O2 flush button assembly is not affected
by the system switch. Flushing O2 can be performed as long as O2 supply is normal. The O2
flush valve has a slide valve structure inside that ensures automatic reset each time the valve
is depressed and released via the spring.
26. Flow sensor
50. Total flow rotameter
The above picture shows the vaporizer manifold assembly. The anesthetic agent delivery
device (vaporizer) is connected to the anesthetic gas delivery system. The mixed gas of N2O,
O2, and Air go into the device; the fresh gas containing these three gases and anesthetic agent
is finally outputted to the CGO assembly.
Either vaporizer manifold (27) is integrated with a check valve (28) that prevents flushed O2
and fresh gas from flowing back to the vaporizer. The Selectatec mounting with interlocking
function prevents the user from turning on two vaporizers simultaneously.
CGO Assembly
The above picture shows the CGO assembly. The CGO assembly includes a flow restrictor
(21) and a pressure relief valve (29). Flushed O2 and fresh gas that are mixed enter the CGO.
The pressure relief valve (29) at the front restricts the pressure of flushed O2, and also
restricts the fresh gas from exceeding 37.9 kPa.
Auxiliary O2 and Air Supply Assembly
The Auxiliary O2 Supply Assembly (51) and Auxiliary Air Supply Assembly (30) control
flow by two needle valves. The individual flows are displayed by glass tube flowmeters. The
blended gas is output through a single barbed fitting to the patient. The flow range adjusted is
from 0 to 15 L/min. Turning the flow control counterclockwise increases the flow; turning it
clockwise decreases the flow.
High Pressure O2 Output Assembly (A5 Only)
The high pressure O2 output (available on the A5 only) comes from the gas source directly
and provides high pressure O2 for the external ventilation device (jet ventilation devices)
without passing through the pressure regulator. When no external device is connected, the
high pressure O2 output is closed. The maximum flow is greater than 90L/min.

1.3.4.2 Anesthetic Ventilator
The anesthetic ventilator provides drive gas for the patient to breathe. O2 from the gas supply
inlet assembly enters the anesthetic ventilator and is outputted in three pathways: drive gas
entering the breathing system, drive gas discharged through the AGSS outlet, and drive gas
discharged through the PEEP outlet. The ventilator controls drive gas flow to prevent
excessively high pressure inside the pneumatic circuit from injuring the patient. The
following picture shows the gas flow direction and the components of the anesthetic
ventilator.
The following is the pneumatic circuit diagram of the anesthetic ventilator.

The Mechanical overpressure valve (13) ensures that the pressure in the drive gas circuit does
not exceed safe pressure. It releases excess gas when gas pressure exceeds 11 kPa..
Component 18 is the expiratory valve. During expiration, gas inside the bellows is discharged
from this valve.
The PEEP function is performed through the expiratory valve. Component 15 is a low-flow
proportional electromagnetic valve. When it opens, gas is bled from the pneumatic resistor
(19), forming relatively stable pressure in the PEEP branch. Such pressure is exerted on the
membrane of the expiratory valve (18) to form PEEP.
To prevent excessively high pressure inside the pneumatic circuit from injuring the patient
and damaging the equipment, the pressure relief valve (15), which is an electromagnetic
on-off valve, is placed before the gas pathway of the expiratory valve. The “16” component is
a pressure switch. When the drive gas pressure is less than 140 kPa, an alarm is triggered.
Component 49 is a pressure sensor that monitors the pressure at which the expiratory valve is
closed. The Pressure relief valve (46) ensures the tube pressure after the expiratory valve is
less than 10 cmH2O.
1.3.4.3 Breathing System
The breathing system provides a closed loop for the anesthetic gas. The expired gas from the
patient can be inspired in the inspiration phase to maintain the temperature and humidity
conditions of the patient’s expired gas. During inspiration, the drive gas depresses the bag
inside the bellows to force the inside gas to enter the patient’s lung. During expiration, the
patient’s expired gas goes into the bag inside the bellows. The CO2 Absorber Canister (32)
absorbs CO2 that the patient expires. The following figure shows the pneumatic circuit of the
breathing system.

Mechanical and manual ventilation modes are selected through the Auto/Manual ventilation
switch (41). When the Auto/Manual switch is placed in the Manual position, the operator
squeezes the manual bag (42) to supply gas for the breathing system. The APL valve (43) is
used to adjust the pressure inside the pneumatic circuit in case of manual ventilation. When
the Auto/Manual switch is placed in the Auto position, the A5/A3 starts its ventilator to
mechanically assist or replace the spontaneous breathing of the patient. The ventilator
controls the drive gas to depress the folding bag inside bellows (45) and supply gas for the
breathing system according to the selected ventilation mode.
The breathing system is connected to the anesthesia machine main unit through the circuit
adapter. The breathing system is highly integrated, as its tubes are all internal except the tube
connected to the patient and the O2 cell cable, as shown below.

In case of mechanical ventilation, during inspiration, gas flows through the Auto/Manual
ventilation switch (41), BYPASS valve (33) or CO2 absorber canister (32), inspiratory valve
(31), O2 sensor (34), airway pressure gauge (35), and inspiratory flow sensor (36) to the
patient.
During expiration, gas flows through the expiratory flow sensor (38), expiratory valve (40),
and Auto/Manual ventilation switch (41) to the folding bag. Airway pressure is monitored by
the pressure sensor (53).
Excess water condensation from the exhaled gas is collected in the water collection cup,
located on the bottom side of the breathing system.
The breathing system is easily disassembled and is autoclavable at 134℃.
1.3.4.4 Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System
The Anesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS) is composed of the AGSS transfer system,
the AGSS receiving system, and the AGSS disposal system. Waste gas goes from the exhaust
port of the anesthesia machine through the AGSS transfer system and the AGSS receiving
system to the hospital’s waste gas disposal system (AGSS disposal system), as shown below.
32. CO2 Absorber Canister
33. Built-in BYPASS valve
Operating handle
The following figure shows the operational theory of the AGSS. The throttling holes reduce
the effect of negative pressure at the AGSS outlet onto the flow at the entrance. The float
helps the user determine if the disposal system meets the requirement for the minimum pump
rate. The filter provides for filtering of foreign substances to prevent the disposal system from
being occluded. The gas reservoir is connected to the air through pressure compensation
openings. When positive or negative pressure occurs inside the gas reservoir, gas is inputted
or outputted to ensure pressure balance inside the system.
The AGSS transfer system is a clear tube with 30 mm purple conical connectors at both ends.
The inlet of the transfer system is a female 30 mm conical connector and the outlet a male 30
mm conical connector. The transfer system is connected to the receiving system through the
male 30 mm conical connector. The receiving system is connected to the receiving hose
through the 30 mm connector. The following picture shows the AGSS structure and the
connections between the AGSS transfer system, receiving system, and disposal system.

1.5 The Breathing System
1.5.1 Brief Introduction
The A5/A3 Breathing System supports three types of operational modes: mechanical
ventilation, manual ventilation, and standby. These modes allow the operator to apply proper
ventilation strategy based on the patient’s needs.
The types of flow paths through the breathing system vary with the operating mode or status.
1.5.2 Automatic Mode, Inspiration
When the Auto/Manual switch is positioned at Auto, the system closes the manual ventilation
path. Drive gas pushes down on the bellows. Gas flows from the bellows, through the CO2
absorber canister, and through the inspiratory check valve to the patient.
During inspiration, fresh gas flows into the inspiratory limb, upstream of the inspiratory
check valve.
In volume mode, tidal volume is compensated for variations in fresh gas flow to ensure that
the volume delivered to the patient meets the set value.
In pressure mode, the inspiratory pressure is regulated both in gas flow and airway pressure
to ensure the airway pressure is held at the set inspiratory pressure during the patient
inspirationn.

1.5.3 Automatic Mode, Expiration
When the Auto/Manual switch is set to Auto, the system closes the manual ventilation path.
Drive-gas flow stops and the exhaust valve opens. Exhaled gas flows from the patient,
through the expiratory check valve, and into the bellows.
Residual drive gas flows out of the bellows dome through the exhaust valve to the scavenging
system (AGSS).
If PEEP is selected, static pressure on the pilot port of the exhaust valve sets the
PEEP level.
During exhalation, fresh gas flows backwards through the CO2 absorber into the
expiratory limb, downstream of the expiratory check valve.

1.5.4 Manual Mode, Inspiration
When the Auto/Manual switch is set to Manual, the system closes the Auto ventilation path.
Gas flows from the breathing bag when compressed, through the CO2 absorber canister, into
the breathing circuit, and through the inspiratory check valve to the patient.
During inspiration, fresh gas flows from the machine into the inspiratory limb, upstream of
the inspiratory check valve.
If airway pressure exceeds the set value of the APL Valve, the residual gas will pass through
the APL Valve to the scavenging system (AGSS).

1.5.6 Pneumatic PEEP
The PEEP valve regulates the pressure at which the exhaust valve opens. Therefore, if PEEP
is selected, static pressure on the pilot port of the exhalation valve sets the PEEP level during
the automatic ventilation.
1.5.7 Ventilator in Standby
When the anesthesia system is in standby mode, monitoring will be inactive, and automatic
ventilation will be unavailable. The patient should not be ventilated when the system is in
standby mode.
1.5.8 Breathing System Components
1.5.8.1 Ventilation Bellows System
The ventilator's driving system is a flow generator. Driving gas fills the bellows dome to
compress the bellows. The breathing gas is pressed out of the bellows into the patient
breathing circuit. The bellows is refilled with fresh gas and the expired gas from the patient.
1.5.8.2 Manual Breathing Bag
In manual mode, this device acts as a normal breathing bag, enabling the user to ventilate the
patient manually.
1.5.8.3 CO2 Absorber Canister
The sodalime inside the CO2 absorber canister absorbs the carbon dioxide from the exhaled
gas. The CO2 absorber canister accommodates standard sized Pre-paks or loose-fill CO2
absorbent.
1.5.8.4 Inspiratory and Expiratory Valves
To ensure correct gas flow direction to and from the patient, check-valves are integrated in
the inspiratory and expiratory limb of the Breathing System.
1.5.8.5 APL (Airway Pressure Limiting) Valve
In manual mode, the APL Valve acts as a normal spring-loaded pressure relief valve, limiting
the maximum pressure in the Breathing System.

1.7.4 Breathing System Heater
The anesthesia system heater provides software and hardware dual-protection from
overheating. The heater can switch over its operating mode automatically according to the
change in ambient temperature.
1.8 Ventilator Pneumatic- O2 Drive Gas
1.8.1 Ventilator Pneumatic Drive
Oxygen is the driving gas for the ventilator. In addition to the flow meter block, a high
pressure regulator reduces the supply pressure to 200 kPa (29 psi). This pressure represents
the drive gas for the ventilator.
The drive pressure regulator is placed ahead of the proportional valve that generates the
driving gas flow during the inspiratory phase. This flow fills the bellows dome that surrounds
the bellows.
1.8.2 Drive Pressure-High Pressure Regulator (200 kPa, 29 psi)
The drive pressure regulator stabilizes the supply pressure provided to the proportional valve.
The flow generated by the proportional valve is therefore independent of pressure variations
at the supply.
Setting the drive pressure regulator at 200 kPa (29 psi) allows for a maximum inspiratory
flow of 110 L/min at the ventilator.
1.8.3 Drive Gas Assembly
The manifold assembly module mainly consists of the inspiratory circuit and PEEP circuit.
The inspiratory circuit goes through the normally closed proportional solenoid valve, which
generates a gas flow of 0 to 110 L/min by the valve drive board. The gas flow of the PEEP
circuit goes through the normally closed proportional solenoid valve, which also generates a
gas pressure of 3 to 30 cmH2O by the valve drive board.
