Digital Newport: Managing Gas Supply
Note: Power Cord must be either unplugged from socket or unwound from
storage cleats when opening Newport.
1. Identify the two in-use tanks (N2O and O2) by attaching “in-use” identification
tags to them.
2. When one of the in-use tanks is empty, close the tank by turning the valve
clockwise. Leave the empty tank in place.
3. Move the “in-use” tag to the appropriate reserve tank, which now becomes
the in-use tank. Replace the empty tank with a new tank, which then becomes
the reserve tank.
4. Open the valve of the new in-use tank by turning counterclockwise.
Note: Do not open the reserve tank until the in-use tank is empty. When
changing gas tanks, make certain both same gas cylinders that are
involved in the exchange are closed. Always remember to switch
the “in- use” tags over to the new tanks.
5. Contact gas supplier to request new gas cylinders as needed.

Digital Newport: Changing Gas Cylinders

Always use clean, dry medical grade gases. Introduction of moisture or other
contaminants into Accutron Analgesia gas machines may result in defective
operation.
The Digital Newport Flowmeter System is designed to operate with a
50-55 psi line pressure on each gas (O2 and N2O). The line pressure can be
determined by reading the O2 and the N2O line pressure gauges that are located
on the front panel of the Newport.
The Newport has features incorporated to make cylinder change-out easy. To
assure proper operation of the system, 4 cylinders must be properly installed at
all times. Please review the following cylinder replacement procedures before
attempting to change cylinders.
Note: Power Cord must be either unplugged from socket or unwound from
storage cleats when opening Newport.
1. Open the tank enclosure by sliding the cover to the rear.
2. Close the valve on the empty tank (clockwise).
3. Release the Velcro restraint on the empty tank.
4. Tilt the empty tank out slightly.
5. Loosen the round handle on the regulator yoke.
6. Remove the regulator from the empty tank (make certain that the regulator is
not dropped or damaged while it is off the tank).
7. Lay the empty cylinder down on the floor (cylinders should only stand
upright when properly restrained as they can easily fall over).
8. Pick up the full replacement tank and place the bottom of the tank onto the
floor of the Newport, leaving it slightly tilted outward for easy replacement of
the regulator.
9. Check to assure that the sealing gasket has remained on the regulator’s E yoke.
10. Reattach the regulator to the new full tank by sliding the yoke (attached to
the regulator) over the top of the tank post aligning the index pins with the
corresponding holes in the tank post.
11. Tighten the round handle on the regulator yoke.
12. Push the tank into an upright position. Attach and tighten the Velcro
tank restraint.

before initial use. This can be done by shutting off the O2 cylinders and turning the
unit on. The unit should immediately go into an oxygen failure fault mode. If unit
indicates O2 gas is flowing, lines are crossed. Correct before using.

3. Power Connection
Device is designed to run on 100-240 V AC and 50/60 Hz. There is no need to flip
an external switch; the unit automatically adjusts for any power. A medical-grade
power cord is supplied with the unit and must be used to ensure proper ground-
ing. It is important that the power cord be plugged into an outlet marked “Hospital
Only” or “Hospital Grade.” The power cord is plugged into the AC entry, which
contains two fuses and is located on the back of the device. International power
cords are offered for most countries. Use only 240 V, 0.5A, slow-blow fuses. Fuses
can be ordered from Accutron as part number 26456-FRU.
4. Auxiliary Connections
Plug remote control into remote port on back of Digital Ultra or on front cover of
Newport if ordered as option.
Plug Accu-Vac signal line into vacuum connector on back of Digital Ultra
(Flushmount only). Vacuum LED should light when Digital Ultra is powered
indicating vacuum is flowing.
Plug printer cable from Able printer, if used, into RS232 printer port. Do not use this
port for any other devices. If printer is ordered on Newport as option, printer cable
will extend from front cover. Note: Use only Able printer supplied by Accutron.

VI. Directions For Use

Read instructions completely before operating Digital Ultra device.
Note: The steps listed below provide a basic functional description of the Digital Ultra
usage. A training course that emphasizes a practical, hands-on approach combined
with instructions on safe techniques for administration of nitrous oxide-oxygen con-
scious sedation is recommended before use of this flowmeter. Do not use this device
for the administration of general anesthesia or as part of, or in conjunction with, a
general anesthesia administration system. Unit must be connected to O2 and N2O
gases at 50-55 PSI. Unit must be plugged into 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz power outlet.
Use titration method for administering nitrous oxide.
Power button will shut off Digital Ultra normal functions (reference diagram on page 8).
For Emergency shutoff, unplug power cord.
NOTE: Detailed information on users, patients, and conditions can be found at
the end of section VI.
General Operating Instructions
Setup:
Verify the presence of separate means of oxygen resuscitation and that appropriate staff
are trained in its operation.
WARNING: In cases of adverse reactions, discontinue nitrous oxide procedure, remove
scavenging circuit, utilize auxiliary resuscitation measures and equipment, and
contact Emergency Responders (911).
Verify that oxygen and nitrous gases have not been mixed up by performing the
Oxygen Failsafe Test on page 23. Note: the only significant source of injury from
nitrous oxide procedures is gas mix-up.
Open inlet gas supplies for oxygen and nitrous oxide by:
a. Turning on manifolds in central systems or
b. Opening gas cylinders in Newports and 4 cylinder mobile stands
Verify scavenging vacuum is turned on and properly set per scavenging circuit

Operation:
1) Push POWER button on front membrane or on Remote Controller.
(Initial flow is set to 5.0 lpm at factory but can be adjusted per instructions on page 21)
2) Install scavenging circuit per scavenging circuit Instructions for Use.
3) Adjust proper breathing flow by using the TOTAL FLOW and TOTAL FLOW
buttons. Reservoir bag should inflate and deflate in response to patient breathing
but never go completely full or completely empty. (Increments are set at factory to
0.5 lpm but can be reset to 0.1 lpm increments per instructions on page 20).
4) Gradually add nitrous oxide by using the % N2O. It is recommended that % start
at 10% and be increased by 10% intervals until desired reaction is achieved. Allow
time between each change for patient to adjust since rapid increasing of N2O %
can cause nausea. (Increments are set at factory to 5% but can be adjusted to 1%
per instructions below)
Note: Total flow does not change if % N2O changes and % N2O does not
change if Total Flow changes.
Caution! Accutron controls % N2O. Refer to page 22 for possible Use Error for
those who are used to meters that control % O2.
5) Max % N2O is set at the factory to 70%. This limit can be changed to 50% by
following instructions on page 21.
6) Adjust Total Flow and % N2O as needed to maintain proper anxiety relief and
proper flow levels.
7) Turn % N2O to 0 at the end of the procedure by using the % N2O. Continue with
pure oxygen for 5 minutes.
8) Stop gas flow by pushing POWER at the end of the procedure. Remove scavenging
circuit and close vacuum.

Application Specifications
Intended Use

The Accutron Digital Flowmeter is used to reduce anxiety in dental patients so that
traditional treatments can be performed more efficiently and with less stress on the
patient.

Intended Medical Indication

Nitrous oxide in Accutron approved applications is used for anxiety relief and
is not a treatment for any particular medical indication per se. It is used to calm
patients so that other treatments may be performed. It is proscribed for conscious
sedation only and not for use with other anesthesia agents.
Intended patient population
Nitrous oxide is routinely given to healthy individuals over 2 years of age without
distinction of age, sex, or weight. See pages 2 and 3 for contra-indications.
NOTE: Patient reaction to nitrous oxide can vary widely between individuals and
even in same individuals over time. Some individuals can not tolerate any N2O.

21
Intended part of the body
Nitrous oxide is a gas and is delivered to the nose via a nasal hood connected to
gas supply tubing. The patient inhales the gas which is then absorbed in the lungs.
Intended user profile
Medical professionals such as doctors, dentists, dental assistants, dental hygienists,
and nurses who have been formally trained in the use of nitrous oxide and who
have studied the operating instructions in the User Manual.

Intended conditions of use

The Accutron Digital flowmeter is intended to be used in medical facilities such as
dental offices and hospitals with standard controlled room environments. See sec-
tion I for further environmental specifications. Units may be mounted in cabinets,
on extension arms, on sliding brackets, or on mobile carts. Units are not meant to
be hand mobile by personnel and are not meant to be used in emergency vehicles.
Frequency of use can vary from rare (once a month) to (frequent) 10-15 times per
day. The user interface is designed for asepsis cleaning.
Description and operating principle
The Accutron Digital PC Flowmeter is a microprocessor-controlled device that
precisely meters Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide gases for analgesic purposes in Dental
Offices and Hospitals. The flowmeter is powered by 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz via a
power cord that is plugged into a filtered inlet. This voltage is then automatically
converted to 24 VDC by a switching medical grade power supply. All components
within the flowmeter as well as the user interface are operated on 24 VDC or less.

Precise flow of both oxygen and nitrous oxide are achieved through a feedback
circuit containing a proportioning solenoid, a medical grade mass flow sensor, and
the main microprocessor. The mass flow sensors measure flow electronically giv-
ing real time updates to the circuit board which directs the solenoids to maintain
desired flow rates. The processor monitors these flows and gives alarms as needed
if the flow of either gas can not match the desired rates. The software also pre-
vents nitrous oxide from flowing without oxygen and maintains oxygen levels at
30% or more at all times.

Clinical operation is very simple as there are only two items to control, TOTAL
FLOW and %N2O. Press POWER to start flow which comes on at 5.0 LPM Total
Flow and 0 %N2O. Adjust Total Flow with the + and – keys until it matches the
patients breathing rate. Increase % N2O by using the + and – keys until proper
relaxation is achieved. Decrease % N2O to 0 at end of procedure and continue
with pure oxygen for 5 minutes. Turn Power off. Total Flow and %N2O can be
adjusted during procedure as needed. Pure oxygen flush is available at any time.
Print option is also available.

Possible Use Errors

• Administering too much N2O or increasing the %N2O too quickly
• Mistaking the %N2O with %O2 used by other electronic flowmeters
• Not taking sufficient patient history before starting procedure
• Not reading the instructions for use or undergoing nitrous oxide training prior to
starting procedure

22
Abnormal Use

Disregarding the instructions and warnings is considered abnormal use.

Training
The intended use is the basis for training which is considered mandatory for all
operators prior to use. General Theory on nitrous oxide use and procedures are
described in such books as Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Sedation by Clark and
Brunick and Lachgas by Dr Mathers. It is recommended that users undergo class-
room training as well as hands on lab instruction. US training can be found in
numerous ADA sponsored continuing education courses. European training can
be obtained through the Institute for Dental Sedation, Cologne, Germany (http://
www.sedierung.com) or through BIEWER medical (http://www.biewer-medical.
com/en/sedation-training), Koblenz, Germany. Consideration of currently valid
local and national guidelines for training is required.
