2 • System Overview
2.1 Ventilator
The User Interface controls ventilator
settings. Settings may be adjusted using
touchpads on the screen or a rotary dial.
Breathing parameters are continuously
measured by transducers and controlled by a
feedback system in the Patient Unit. The
ventilator responds to a difference between
the actual measured value of a parameter 6
and the preset or calculated value by
adjusting gas delivery to achieve the target
value.
7
The system has two gas modules, one for air
and one for O2. Gases may be supplied by a
medical pipeline system, a compressor, or
by gas tanks.

7.3.3 List of Alarm Settings
There are 15 alarm settings related to
breathing parameters:
Automatically Set—These settings are
determined automatically by the ventilator
based on the related parameter settings:
• O2 concentration high (based on O2
concentration setting)
• O2 concentration low (based on O2
concentration setting)
• High continuous pressure (based on PEEP
setting)
Upper Limit—These settings define an upper
bound on a condition that is monitored by
the ventilator:
• Paw high (airway pressure too high)
• Apnea (maximum time exceeded)
Breathing Parameter Alarms—These
settings define an allowed range for a
breathing parameter:
• Expired minute volume (high and low)
• Respiratory rate (high and low)
• PEEP (high and low)
• etCO2 (high and low)
• CPAP (high and low)

Important: When using the Aeroneb
Professional Nebulizer System, the accuracy 8.3.2 Y Sensor Components
of the Y Sensor measurement may be
compromised. Therefore, you should
remove the Y Sensor from the patient circuit
when the Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer
System is in use.
Note: To guarantee that waveforms and
metrics are always displayed on the screen,
the internal pressure and flow sensors are at
all times active as backup. Their readings
are compared with the Y Sensor
measurement. The Y Sensor is disabled if
there is a significant deviation or
malfunction. SVX-9049

8.3.1 Y Sensor Use Guidelines
These guidelines are reminders for health
care professionals who have already been
trained to use the Y Sensor.
• The Y Sensor is intended for single-patient
use only.
• Do not insert two Y Sensor modules at the
same time. The Servo-i Ventilator System
can handle only one Y Sensor module at a
time.
• Do not apply tension to the Y Sensor
tubing.
• Make sure there are no kinks in the Y
Sensor tubing.
• If the Y Sensor is not connected to the
module, do not connect to the patient
circuit as this may cause leakage.
• Frequently check for condensed water or
other fluids in the Y Sensor. Fluids in the Y

9.1 Introduction
This chapter lists and describes alarm, pre-
use check, CO2 Analyzer calibration, and
technical messages. The lists also provide
suggested actions in response to the
messages.
Note: Most technical errors require the
attention of a service technician.
WARNING! Always disconnect the ventilator

when performing operations that increase
risk to the patient, such as replacing the O2
cell.
Caution: Do not lift the expiratory cassette

when the ventilator is operating; instead,
you may do this in Standby mode.

Note: Expiratory Minute Volume: Low
Considerable leakage may occur around the endotracheal tube if it is uncuffed. The combination of
small tidal volumes, leakage around the tube and activated compliance compensation may trigger the
Low Expiratory Minute Volume alarm, due to a very low expiratory flow passing from the patient
through the expiratory channel. By observing the difference between the Vti and Vte values presented
on the screen, a leakage can be detected and its extent easily controlled. The first time an
unacceptably large leakage occurs around the tube, correct this problem to avoid triggering this alarm.
If leakage persists, adjust the alarm limit to its lowest level (10 ml) if this is clinically appropriate.
Finally, if the leakage still has not been remedied, deactivate the compliance compensation to avoid
triggering the alarm. If the compliance compensation is deactivated from Pressure Control, Pressure
Support, or SIMV (Pressure Control) ventilation modes, then no further settings need to be adjusted.
However, if volume-related modes are used, the set volumes must be adjusted.
