Primus Function Description

3.1.1 MONITOR CONTROL PANEL PCB

The following software is installed on the PCB:– GUI software.– Monitoring and evaluation software for the PGM.– Software for Medibus connections and SpO2.

A 2-processor system is in operation on the PCB. It comprises a Display Master (DiMa) and a Communication Master (CoMa).

The powerful DiMa processor incorporates the following components:– Motorola processor (MPC823) with 48 MHz clock frequency and 32-bit

address and data buses.– Flash-PROM (program memory).– RAM (data memory).– CAN controller.– RS232 interface for in-house development purposes. – Serial communication channel for Ethernet.

The LCD controller is a programmable logic device (“PLD”). A “DRAM” serves as the video memory.

The CoMa processor system primarily controls communication with the other Primus components.

The CoMa incorporates the following components:– Motorola processor (M68332) with 16.7 MHz clock frequency, internal 32-

bit bus and external 16-bit data bus.– Flash-PROM (program memory).– RAM (data memory).– RS232 interface for communication with the SPO2, PGM and Medibus 1 —

3 modules.– Real-time clock (RTC).– Keyboard and rotary knob scan, LED actuation and sound output.– CAN interface.

Both processor systems communicate by way of a Dual-Port RAM (DPR). This memory device is battery-buffered. The buffering is provided primarily by the UPS batteries of the Primus. If they fail, the lithium battery on the MONI-TOR CONTROL PANEL PCB ensures data is retained.

The operating voltage is provided by an unstabilized voltage of 20 V to 30 V (Vcc). DC converters on the MONITOR CONTROL PANEL PCB generate all other voltages on the PCB.

The MoBi is interconnected over the CAN bus with the other components of the Primus (power pack, mixer and VGC).

3.2.2 SpO2 sampling function (option)

The SpO2 sampling function has the following tasks:– Non-invasive measurement of functional oxygen saturation in the arterial

blood. The upper and lower alarm limits are monitored on the MONITOR CONTROL PANEL PCB by the CoMa processor.

– Measurement of pulse rate.– Monitoring of the pulse rate with upper and lower alarm limits.

The SpO2 sensor essentially comprises two LEDs (light-emitting diodes) which alternatingly emit infrared light with typical wavelengths of 920 nm and 660 nm respectively. An opposing photodetector measures the radiant inten-sity. The sensor is placed on a part of the body on which arterial blood ves-sels can be X-rayed, such as the fingers, toes or bridge of the nose.

The new SpO2 sensor “DS-100A” incorporates a memory chip. The Nellcor module used in the Primus now detects only this SpO2 sensor. The new sen-sor is identifiable by the fact that all nine pins are present on the connector.

The SpO2 sensor is connected without a pre-amplifier to the module. The module communicates through a serial port with the MONITOR CONTROL PANEL PCB. On the BACKPLANE PCB the module is electrically isolated with 1.5 kV.

Function Description Primus

4.1.1 ILCA2 function ILCA2 is a gas measuring module for the analgesic N2O, the anesthetic gases Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane and Sevoflurane, and for measurement of mixtures. ILCA2 conforms to the measurement accuracy specified by ISO standards.

The ILCA2 module is capable of automatically detecting the above mentioned gases.

ILCA2 module design

The ILCA2 module principally comprises the following components:– Sensor head with double-optics, pressure sensor, and electronics.– Diaphragm pump.– Pneumatic low pass.– Solenoid valve for zero calibration.– Module rack with 3 PCBs.

In the “Block diagrams” section, you will find a block diagram of the ILCA2 module.

Sensor head

The sensor head houses 2 PCBs with the following functions:– Pre-amplifier PCB for the two multi-channel detectors.– Base PCB with emitter activation, temperature regulation, absolute pres-

sure measurement and a serial EEPROM holding the serial number, set-ting and calibration data for operation of the sensor head.

The module rack of the ILCA2 module contains 4 additional PCBs with the following functions:– AMO FLOW ILCA PCB — Control of the diaphragm pump and the zero

calibration solenoid. A serial EEPROM stores the necessary data such as the serial number, hardware/software revision, control parameters etc.

– AMO ILCA2 PCB — Here the necessary supply voltages are generated and the data transfer from the ILCA2 sensor to the MOPS PCB is imple-mented.

– AMO MFM PCB — This circuit board amplifies the signal from the Ser-vomex sensor.

– MOPS PCB — Primarily delivers the data for further processing via an RS 232 interface.

Measurement principle

The measurement principle of the ILCA2 module is based on the absorption of infrared light by the various media (see Figure 16). The sensor head con-sists of a double measuring head with one emitter each which emits a broad spectrum of infrared light. The light beam passes through a cuvette, through which the gas being measured is also drawn by means of a diaphragm pump. Downstream of the cuvette the light beam hits a multi-channel detector with IR filters. The filters are dimensioned so that only the light in the absorption wavelength of the measured gases is transmitted. If a gas is present light is absorbed. The higher the partial pressure of the gas, the greater the absorp-tion of the light and the smaller the sensor signal.

4.1.2 PGM2 with Pato O2 sensor

The oxygen analyser measures the patient’s O2 concentration at the Y-piece.

Measurement principle

The oxygen sensor uses the effect that oxygen molecules are attracted very much more strongly to a magnetic field (paramagnetism) than the molecules of other gases, which in some cases are repelled by the magnetic field (dia-magnetism).

Layout

The Pato houses a cuvette containing a sensor system, the cuvette is located between two electromagnets.

Figure 17 Pato system structure

Function

The electromagnets generate an alternating field.

The sampling gas flows through the cuvette and the gas path in the sensor system.

The heating element heats up the sampling gas to operating temperature, the thermoelement measures the temperature.

The outer alternating magnetic field influences the mobility of the oxygen con-tained in the sampling gas.

The changing mobility alters the heat transfer in the sampling gas which results in the thermoelement measuring a changing temperature.

The exent of the heat transfer variation depends on the oxygen concentration in the sampling gas.

The ILCA2 module converts the temperature change in an oxygen concentra-tion value which is then displayed on the connected patient monitor.

4.1.3 PGM2 with Servomex O2 sensor

The Servomex sensor uses the fact that oxygen molecules have a stronger paramagnetic characteristic (attracted to a magnetic field) than the molecules of other gases that are sometimes even diamagnetic (repulsed by a magnetic field).

The following position numbers refer to Figure 19.

The permanent magnets (7 and 12) in the sensor create a symmetric magnet field (11). The magnet field contains two nitrogen-filled quartz spheres (9) arranged in the form of dumbbells. The dumbbell is suspended rotating from a taut platinum band. A reel of platinum wire is wound around the dumbbell as a feedback coil (10).

When oxygen flows through the measuring cell (1 and 6), the magnetic field (11) changes based on the paramagnetic effect of the oxygen dependent on its concentration. This rotates the quartz spheres (9) of the dumbbells out of the magnetic field.

A mirror attached to the pivot of the dumbbell (8) reflects a light beam (5) onto a photocell pair (4). The photocells are connected to an amplifier (3) of which the output signal supplies the feedback coil (10) of the dumbbell. The dumb-bell is rotated back by the current in the feedback coil (10) until the light beam (5) is illuminating both photocells (4) equally by means of the mirror (8). Then the system is at equilibrium. The current flowing through the feedback coil (10) is proportional to the paramagnetism of the oxygen and thus a measure of the oxgen concentration, which is displayed on the display instrument (2).

Primus Function Description

The sample gas (1) enters the water trap (4). In the water trap are two Gore-tex membranes (1, 2). The moisture in the sample gas cannot pass through the Goretex membranes. This prevents water from reaching the ILCA2 (flow approx. 180 mL/min). Consequently no water can penetrate the bypass branch (flow approx. 20 mL/min) either. An approximately 10 cm long Teflon tube (5) serves as a resistor, and meters the flow in the bypass branch.

If the water in the water tank reaches to the level of the membranes, they are closed off by the water. An error message is displayed on-screen. A filling level detector is therefore no longer necessary.

The sample gas flows through the Nafion tube (6) and is additionally dried. The sample gas then passes on to the ILCA2 solenoid valve (7). Depending on the valve switching state, either the sample gas (1) or, during calibration, the room air (8) reaches the ILCA2. The sample gas is fed through the cuvette (10) of the ILCA2 and passes on to the “Servomex” O2 sensor (11).

When the Primus is in leak test mode, and the PGM2 in standby, the pump (14) is shut off. Whenever the pump is off, the solenoid valve (12) interrupts the gas flow to the system. This does not increase the leakage value.

The following low-pass filter comprises the restrictor (R1) and the volume (C1).

R1 is dimensioned as follows:– R1 is small enough for the pump not to be placed under unnecessary

strain.– R1 is large enough so that the pump pressure surges occurring in the

ILCA2 cuvette do not impair the signal ratio and noise ratio in gas sam-pling.

– The pressure drop at R1 is measured. The measured value is used for pump control.

The pneumatic low-pass components are integrated into the module housing of the electronics. The low-pass minimizes the pressure surges generated by the pump. Downstream of the pneumatic low-pass filter the sample gas passes to the pump.

The flow through the pump (14) in measuring mode is approx. 200 mL/min (flush flow approx. 250 mL/min). The supply voltage of the pump is in the range from 2.5 VDC to 7.5 VDC at a current of up to 150 mA.

Dimensioning of R2:

In a calibration, the switching of the ILCA2 solenoid valve (7) is tested with the pressure sensor (in the sensor head). In this case the pressure drop via R2 and the filter (9) must be significantly less than the minimum pressure drop through the water trap and the sample gas tube. In the event of an error, an error log entry is generated.

In substitution for a flowmeter, the pressure is measured with a differential pressure sensor (P) upstream and downstream of the low pass. The AMO FLOW ILCA PCB controls the pump with the pressure signal as the input variable.

Function Description Primus

In order to ensure an adequate measurement accuracy, an automatic zero calibration is performed periodically. For this, room air is drawn in by the dia-phragm pump through the ILCA2 solenoid (zero calibration valve) and passed through the sensors. The zero calibration valve is controlled by the AMO Flow ILCA PCB.

Further measures to safeguard measurement accuracy:– Heating of the cuvette so the intensity of the light beam is not affected by

condensation. As the temperature also influences the measurement result, the cuvette temperature is kept constant by means of a control loop.

– The pressure in the cuvette likewise influences the result. So the pres-sure is measured and entered as a correction variable into the system.

Function Description Primus

The sample gas (1) enters the water trap (4). In the water trap are two Gore-tex membranes (1, 2). The moisture in the sample gas cannot pass through the Goretex membranes. This prevents water reaching the IRIA (flow 135 mL/min). Consequently no water can penetrate the bypass branch (flow approx. 15 mL/min) either. An approximately 9 cm long Teflon tube (5) serves as a resistor, and meters the flow in the bypass branch.

If the water in the water tank reaches to the level of the membranes, they are closed off by the water. An error message is displayed on-screen. A filling level detector is therefore no longer necessary.

The sample gas flows through the Nafion tube (6) and is additionally dried. The sample gas then passes on to the ILCA solenoid valve (7). Depending on the valve switching state, either the sample gas (1) or, during calibration, the room air (8) reaches the IRIA. The sample gas is fed through the IRIA cuvette and passes on to the O2 sensor (10).

When the Primus is in Leak Test mode, and the PGM in Standby, the pump (13) is shut off. Whenever the pump is off, the solenoid valve (11) interrupts the gas flow to the system. This does not increase the leakage value.

The following low-pass filter comprises the restrictor (R1) and the volume (C1).

R1 is dimensioned as follows:– R1 is small enough for the pump not to be placed under unnecessary

strain.– R1 is large enough so that the pump pressure surges occurring in the

IRIA cuvette do not impair the signal ratio and noise ratio in gas sampling.– The pressure drop at R1 is measured. The measured value is used for

pump control.

The pneumatic low-pass components are integrated into the module housing of the electronics. The low-pass minimizes the pressure surges generated by the pump. Downstream of the pneumatic low-pass filter the sample gas passes to the pump.

The flow through the pump (13) in measuring mode is approx. 150 mL/min (flush flow approx. 200 mL/min). The supply voltage of the pump is in the range from 2.5 VDC to 7.5 VDC at a current of up to 150 mA.

Dimensioning of R2:

In a calibration, the switching of the valve is tested with the pressure sensor in the IRIA. In this case the pressure drop via R2 and the filter (9) must be significantly less than the minimum pressure drop through the water trap and the sample gas tube. In the event of an error, an error log entry is generated.

Primus Function Description

4.3 Operating modes

4.3.1 «Reduced Accuracy» mode (PGM only)

The sampling bank of the PGM/PGM2 is in so-called “Reduced Accuracy” mode after approx. 5 minutes. During that time, the measured values are out-side the specified accuracy. During that time, a calibration of the O-point is carried out every 2 minutes.

4.3.2 «ISO» mode (ISO accu-racy) (PGM/PGM2)

Following “Reduced Accuracy” mode the sampling bank has ISO accuracy. After a maximum of 30 minutes the switch is made to “Full Accuracy” mode.

4.3.3 «Full Accuracy» mode (PGM only)

After power-up, the IRIA takes around 30 minutes to reach its operating tem-perature for maximum accuracy. During this time, a calibration of the O-point is carried out every 2 hours.

4.3.4 «Standby» response of the Primus (PGM/PGM2)

The filter wheel in the IRIA (PGM only) and the sampling gas pump are switched off after approximately 30 minutes. After 90 minutes the emitter and the heater are shut off. This is done to extend service life and reduce noise.

4.3.5 IRIA/ILCA2 calibration The IRIA/ILCA2 is calibrated automatically. The user cannot initiate manual calibration. Nor is calibration possible during the ventilator leak test. This pre-vents a possible increase in volume resulting from intake of ambient air.

4.3.6 Auto-Wake-up function If the Primus is switched to a ventilation mode following a cold-start, the alarm monitoring is initially disabled. This applies to all the parameters of the CO2 sampling bank except the alarm CO2/AGENT INOP. Alarm monitoring is acti-vated when a respiration phase is detected.

4.3.7 O2 sensor/Servomex The electrochemical O2 sensor and the Servomex sensors are calibrated during the cold start. In operation, the electrochemical O2 sensor is calibrated automatically every 8 hours. The Servomex sensor is calibrated every 2 hours. During calibration, the ILCA/ILCA2 solenoid valve is switched to room air.

When the zero point of the IRIA/ILCA2 is calibrated the plausibility of the electrochemical O2 sensor signal is also checked. The Servomex sensor is calibrated with 21% O2.

If non-linearity occurs, the user is offered a 100% O2 calibration. In 100% O2 calibration the user is responsible for connecting 100% O2 to the sampling line.

4.4 PGM/PGM2 electron-ics

4.4.1 MOPS PCB (PGM/PGM2) In the “Block diagrams” section, you will find a block diagram of the MOPS PCB

“MOPS” stands for “Modular Platform for Sensors”. It is a modular concept by which suitable sensor components (pneumatic and mechanical components) can be operated together by way of a processor board.

The resultant arrangements are supported by a software program with a uni-form communications interface. In this way, the user is provided with a uni-form view of the parameters on offer, irrespective of the components deployed.

The software is automatically configured for the connected components when the system starts up.

With this concept, different gas sampling modules (for example “ILCA2” and “IRIA”) can be configured for specific customer needs using standard compo-nents.

The MOPS PCB calculates the values of the patient parameters and controls the sensor head signals.

4.4.2 AMO IRIA PCB (PGM) “AMO” stands for “Adapter MOPS”. The PCB has the following tasks:– Convert digital target values from the MOPS PCB into analog voltages for

the IRIA emitter.– Generate the IRIA supply voltage.– Data transfer from the IRIA sensor to the MOPS PCB (data evaluation).

4.4.3 AMO ILCA2 PCB (PGM2) “AMO” stands for “Adapter MOPS”. The PCB has the following tasks:– Convert digital target values from the MOPS PCB into analog voltages for

the ILCA2 emitter.– Generate the ILCA2 supply voltage.– Data transfer from the ILCA2 sensor to the MOPS PCB (data evaluation).

4.4.4 AMO O2 PUMP PCB (PGM)

The PCB has the following task: – Transfer the O2 sensor data to the MOPS PCB (data evaluation).

4.4.5 AMO MFM PCB (PGM2) The PCB has the following task: – Transfer the O2 sensor data (Servomex) to the MOPS PCB (data evalua-

tion).

Primus Function Description

4.4.6 AMO FLOW ILCA PCB (PGM/PGM2)

The AMO FLOW ILCA PCB controls the pump and the valves of the PGM/PGM2. The PCB is controlled and powered by the MOPS PCB. The actual regulation of the pump flow is handled by the software of the controller on the MOPS PCB.

The AMO FLOW ILCA PCB holds the following components:– A DC/DC converter generates the pump voltage (2.5 — 7.5 V/DC). The

output voltage of the DC/DC converter is controlled with a digital potenti-ometer on the PCB. The digital potentiometer is regulated by the MOPS PCB.

– The output stage to operate the valve.– Service LEDs for the pump voltage, the valves and the supply voltage– The temperature-compensated differential pressure sensor for flow mea-

surement. The sensor offset is corrected with a digital potentiometer.– The analog electronics for evaluation of the pump voltage, pump current,

valve current and differential pressure.

The flow is measured by way of the differential pressure of restrictor R1 plus the upstream (sintered-metal) filter. The measuring range is 0 mbar to 350 mbar.

The AMO FLOW ILCA PCB is connected directly to a 60-pin connector on the MOPS PCB and is detected automatically by the MOPS PCB.

Function Description Primus

The fresh gas flow valve (5) delivers the selected fresh gas flow. The flowme-ter at the fresh gas outlet (4) regulates the fresh gas flow valve.

5.1 Operating modes The operating mode is regardless of whether the Primus is powered from the mains via its power plug or is powered up in battery mode.

5.1.1 10 VA mode Internal leakage may mean that the O2 concentration in the Primus is above 21% when operation is begun. “10 VA” mode prevents dangerous operating states from occurring.

When the power plug is connected to the mains power but the power switch is not yet switched on, the following safety rule applies:– A supply voltage of only 10 VA is fed into the interior of the mixer (10 VA

is the product of the no-load voltage and short-circuit current of the supply voltage “24 V PLUG-IN”. Only the DC/DC converters (-15 V, +15 V) for the pressure sensor amplifiers are supplied).

– The pressure sensors for the gases from the central supply (CS) system and the cylinder supply are read and the compressed gas supply status is indicated by LEDs on the front panel (see 5.3.2 Pressure status LEDs).

When the Primus is switched on at the power switch (mains or battery pow-ered) the following safety rule applies:– Before other modules receive operating voltage, the fan in the mixer is

switched on for at least 10 seconds. Only then is “Normal” mode acti-vated.

5.1.2 ‘Normal’ mode In this mode the mixer CPU PCB controls normal mixing. All DC/DC convert-ers (+5 V, +24 V, -15 V, +15 V) are supplied with “24 V SWITCH”.

5.2 Layout

5.2.1 MIXER PCB In the “Block diagrams” section you will find a block diagram of the MIXER PCB.

The MIXER PCB holds the following components:– DC/DC converters (+5 V, + 15 V, — 15 V, +24 V) with voltage monitoring– Amplifiers of the pressure and temperature sensors– Valve power switch and monitoring circuits – Fan actuation and monitoring– Logic device for the safety O2 adjuster

A cable harness connects the mixer with the NEUTRAL POINT PCB and with the other unit components. By way of the cable harness the mixer receives the unstabilized 18 V to 30 V supply voltage and the 12 V fan power from the power pack as well as the CAN bus.

The mixer fan is switched on 10 seconds before the other components and is powered directly by the power pack (see 5.1.1 10 VA mode).

When the fan wheel rotates a proportional square signal is generated (approx. 90 Hz). This square signal is monitored by the PRIMUS CPU PCB.

Primus Function Description

The valves on the mixer block are actuated by the Master CPU (PRIMUS CPU PCB). Power drivers on the MIXER PCB operate the valves. When one of the valves is actuated, the current flows through a shunt. The voltage drop at the shunt is evaluated by a comparator circuit and monitored by the super-visor processor on the PRIMUS CPU PCB. An exception to this is the fresh gas flow valve “VMGS”. The proportional valve cannot be monitored by this procedure.

For safety shut-off of all valves, the supply voltage can be cut to all valves.

5.2.2 PRIMUS CPU PCB (mixer)

In the “Block diagrams” section you will find a block diagram of the PRIMUS CPU PCB.

The PRIMUS CPU PCB is based on a 2-processor system with Master and Supervisor. Both 16-bit processor systems are identical in structure. The peripherals are controlled by way of an interface.

Each processor has the following components:– Quartz– undervoltage detector– External watchdog– Flash-PROM– RAM– EEPROM (system configuration)

A Dual-Port RAM is placed between the two processor systems for data exchange. A logic circuit prevents both processors writing to a memory cell simultaneously.

Each processor system has an isolated serial port and a CAN bus.

Configuration options for the serial port by jumper:– Independent serial ports, RS232 level, isolation on jack plug.– Independent serial ports, TTL level, no isolation, output to connector strip.

7-segment displays are provided for visual indication of operating states of the Master and the Supervisor.

Primus Function Description

The item numbers and abbreviations occurring in this section relate to Figure 31 .

For the following description the O2 gas path was chosen.

The CS gas (3) passes through the ISO port to the gas inlet block.

By way of the sintered-metal filter (4) the gas passes to the pressure sensor “PPO2”. The relative pressure sensor delivers a signal proportional to the pressure.

The sintered-metal filter (4) prevents the non-return valve (5) from being con-taminated by particles.

If the CS fails, no CS pressure is indicated. The non-return valve (5) prevents O2 from escaping out of the compressed gas cylinder (2) into the CS system.

The pressure regulator PRPO2 generates a constant input pressure for the mixer (2.3 bar 0.1 bar). The O2 pressure regulator additionally supplies (8) the flush button “VO2+” and the safety O2 adjuster “VSFC”.

An optional compressed gas supply for an external bronchial suction device (7) or an external O2 flowmeter (6) is provided for.

Primus Function Description

5.5.1 VMIX valves The “VMIX” valves mix the desired gas concentration. By way of the “VMIX” valves the CS gas (N2O, AIR, O2) passes to the differential pressure sensor “PDMIX”, to the pressure sensor “PTANK” and to the flowmeter section “RM”.

The “VMIX” valves fill “TANK”. The pressure range in ‘TANK“ is between 1 bar and 1.5 bar. The pressure difference of 0.5 bar and the “TANK” volume of 0.5 L produce a usable “TANK” volume of 0.25 L (0.5 bar x 0.5 L = 0.25 L).

At a fresh gas flow setting of 18 L/min, the “VMIX” valves are opened 72 times a minute. The following equation illustrates the TANK filling process (72 /min x 0.25 L = 18 L/min).

5.5.2 PDMIX and RM With the differential pressure sensor “PDMIX” and the flowmeter “RM” the gas flow and volume of the gas flowing into the TANK are measured (flow x time = volume). If a constant usable ‘TANK’ volume of 0.25 L is used then any given gas concentration can be mixed.

The differential pressure sensor “PDMIX” and the absolute pressure sensor “PTANK” form a single functional unit. The output signal of the pressure sen-sor “PTANK” is used for the bridge supply voltage for “PDMIX”. The output voltage of “PDMIX” is evaluated on the PRIMUS CPU PCB (mixer).

5.5.3 PTANK (pressure sen-sor)

The pressure sensor “PTANK” has the following tasks:– Tank pressure monitoring– Compensation for effect of ambient pressure fluctuations on flow meter-

ing with “PDMIX”.– Monitoring of flowmeter “RM” by means of the proportional pressure rise

in “TANK”.

The pressure sensor “PTANK” has a resolution of 2 mbar and a maximum measuring range of 2.558 bar absolute. The pressure sensor “PTANK” also has a second amplification branch to the AD converter of the PRIMUS CPU PCB (mixer). To be able to measure higher pressures for service purposes, the resolution is 4 mbar per digit. The maximum measured value is 4.092 bar absolute.

5.5.4 VTANK valve The tank vent valve “VTANK” opens when:– O2 and AIR are missing.

5.5.5 VMGS (fresh gas flow valve)

The fresh gas flow valve is a proportional valve. It delivers a fresh gas flow of 0.2 L/min to 18 L/min. The flowmeter at the fresh gas outlet regulates the valve.

5.5.6 PDMGSHI / PDMGSLO (differential pressure sensors)

The differential pressure sensors each have a press-dependent resistance measuring bridge.

The differential pressure sensors measure the flow through the flowmeter section “RMGS”. With the measured value the PRIMUS CPU (mixer) PCB regulates the fresh gas flow valve “VMGS”.

5.5.7 PSYS (pressure sensor) The pressure sensor “PSYS” compensates for the effect of ambient pressure fluctuations on the flow metering of “PDMGSHI” and “PDMGSLO”.

The pressure sensor “PSYS” has a resolution of 1 mbar.

Function Description Primus

5.5.8 VSWAK (A-cone valve) The A-cone valve actuated by the MIXER PCB has a bistable switching response.

The valve is switched with a time-limited voltage pulse. The polarity of the voltage pulse determines the switching direction.

The valve position is detected by a proximity sensor in the valve and moni-tored by the PRIMUS CPU (mixer) PCB.

5.5.9 VBAK (safety valve) A mechanical safety valve for the A-cone valve. Opening pressure 80 mbar at 18 L/min +15%.

5.5.10 TEMPTANK / TEMP-BLOCK (temperature sensors)

The volume of the gases “N2O, AIR, O2” is dependent on the temperature. Consequently, the measured values of the temperature sensors “NTC” are incorporated into the mixing process. The temperature sensors (“TEMP-TANK”, “TEMPBLOCK”) used for temperature compensation generate volt-ages proportional to the temperature. The PRIMUS CPU (mixer) PCB compares and monitors the sensor voltages.

5.5.11 VSFC (safety O2 adjuster)

The safety O2 adjuster is located outside the mixer unit. With the manual safety O2 adjuster the user can set an additional O2 flow of 3 to 12 L/min 30%.

When the overall system power-up test is running the flow adjuster must be closed. The operating status is registered by a microswitch in the safety O2 adjuster. The microswitch is plugged into the NEUTRAL POINT PCB. The signal is transmitted via the cable harness to the mixer.

5.5.12 VO2+ (flush button) Mechanical flush button. Output min. 35 L/min.

Figure 35 VGC position

The patient is ventilated by the VGC according to the ventilation mode and parameters set on the MCP.

The VGC also measures the airway pressure and the inspiratory and expira-tory flow (two flow sensors).

A cable harness connects the VGC with the NEUTRAL POINT PCB. From there, the VGC is connected to other Primus components.

By way of the cable harness the VGC receives the following voltages and sig-nals:– The unstabilized supply voltage of 18 V to 30 V.– The 12 V for the VGC fan (there immediately).– The 12 V for the pneutronics valves (there after approx. 10 seconds).– CAN bus.

Primus Function Description

The items cited in the following text relate to Figure 37.

The ventilator unit consists of a piston cylinder unit and two diaphragms. The vacuum for the rolling seal (3) comes from the pneumatic system of the VGC and is generated in the space between the cylinder (2) and the rolling seal (3).

The spindle (12) is permanently fixed to the piston. The spindle nut (11) is permanently fixed to the hollow shaft axle of the piston motor. When the motor shaft, and thus the spindle nut, rotates the spindle is moved vertically. This sends a corresponding volume through to the compact breathing system and consequently to the patient. Also, the motor is permanently fixed with rubber buffers (9) to the drive housing.

When the spindle nut rotates once, a volume displacement of 38.5 mL is pro-duced. So to achieve a volume change of 1400 mL, around 37 revolutions are required.

The piston motor (6) is powered by direct voltage and operated by way of the PCBs of the VGC. The actuator requires the signal from the incremental encoder (8). The incremental encoder has a resolution of 1024 pulses per motor revolution.

When the VGC is switched on, the counter of the incremental encoder must be set. To do so, the piston is lowered until it reaches the light barrier (10). This position is then recorded as the reference position.

Only when the vacuum is applied to the rolling seal is the piston motor acti-vated. An exception is possible, however. If the roller diaphragm is not inserted, a vacuum may be created. The roller diaphragm can only be inserted without difficulty when the piston is at its bottom end position, how-ever. If the control detects this state, it will slowly move the piston to the bot-tom end position in “Standby” mode. With software version 2.n or higher, the piston motor (6) is additionally switched on as an active brake as soon as the light barrier (10) is touched. This is to avoid that the spindle (12) gets stuck in the bottom end position.

Function Description Primus

The position numbers mentioned in this section refer to Figure 39.

The vacuum sensor “Pu” is connected to the intake side of the vacuum pump “VP”. In operation, the vacuum sensor “Pu” measures the vacuum for the roller diaphragm of the KZE. Another port is connected during operation to the switching valve “V2”“AUTO-MAN/SPONT”. When the vacuum pump is running, the software checks the pressure value at the vacuum sensor “Pu”. The drive motor is only activated if the vacuum pump is able to build up a vac-uum of between 120 mbar and 250 mbar (hPA).

The vacuum pump “VP” draws the air in through the bacterial filter “BF”. The following valve “Vu” is preset to approx. 200 mbar. The air is pumped in two consecutive volumes “V”.

To smooth pressure peaks, the outlet of the volumes is designed as a fine hole “R1”. From there, the gas flows through the PEEP valve “MV1”. If the PEEP valve is not actuated, the integral ejector “E” generates a low-level vac-uum in its control line. This smoothes the zero of the PEEP characteristic.

So that the vacuum is reduced when the vacuum pump is shut off, the vac-uum valve is bridged by a restrictor “R2”.

When the user switches the ventilation mode from automatic ventilation to “MAN/SPONT”, the vacuum pump is switched off. The vacuum is reduced with “R2”. The non-return valve “RV3” prevents the vacuum in the diaphragm volume from being reduced too. This considerably reduces the switching time from automatic ventilation to “MAN/SPONT”. At the same time, “RV3” also prevents a reduction of the vacuum in the diaphragm volume in “MAN/SPONT” mode. The vacuum can then be built up faster when the user switches to an automatic ventilation mode.

With valve “MV2” the system is calibrated and vented.

6.6 Breathing system There can be two different types of breathing systems. The difference lies in the design of the APL valve (adjustable pressure-limiting valve, see Figure 42).

Figure 42 APL valves, new type (1) and old type (2)

The new type (Figure 42/2) has a toggle mechanism for toggling between MAN and SPONT mode. The new type (Figure 42/1) uses a locking function.

This results in different types of breathing system covers (see breathing sys-tem cover Figure 43/1). The valve plate (Figure 43/5) and the breathing sys-tem block (Figure 43/6) remain unchanged.

Primus Function Description

The compact breathing system permits the following ventilation modes:– Manual ventilation.– Spontaneous breathing.– Automatic, pressure-limited ventilation modes (IPPV, SIMV and PCB) or

“Volume Mode” and “Pressure Mode” with optional synchronization and pressure support.

– (Optional) pressure-assisted ventilation “Pressure Support” for spontane-ously breathing patients.

The switch of the APL valve can be set to MAN or SPONT.

In the “MAN” position, the breathing system is closed to atmosphere. The APL valve opening pressure can be adjusted from 5 to 70 hPa (mbar). This switch setting is the default for manual ventilation.

In the “SPONT” position the APL valve is open to atmosphere. This switch setting is the default for spontaneous breathing.

The pressure limitation “Pmax” can also be adjusted between 20 hPa (mbar) and 70 hPa (mbar) on the GUI during automatic ventilation.

Function Description Primus

The abbreviations occurring in the following text relate to Figure 45 .

Mandatory inspiration process:– The fresh gas isolation valve “RV1” is closed.– The PEEP valve “V1” is closed during inspiration. Depending on the pre-

set maximum pressure “Pmax”, an appropriate control pressure is applied to the PEEP valve.

– The piston of the PCU rises according to the preset parameters (F, VT, I:E…). The mixed gas (expiratory gas and fresh gas) flows through the inspiratory valve “Vi”, the flow sensor “Flowi”, the inspiratory patient tube, and through the Y-piece into the patient’s lung.

– The inspiratory pressure is measured.– For inspiratory compliance only the volume between “RV1”, “Vi” and “V1”

is active.– The manual breathing bag serves as a mixed gas reservoir.

If the ventilation pressure exceeds the maximum pressure (Pmax) set on the GUI, the PEEP “V1” opens. The gas from the patient’s lung flows either into the manual breathing bag or through the open APL bypass valve “V2”. Depending on the non-return valve opening pressure “RV2”, the mixed gas flows into the anesthetic gas scavenging system AGSS.

Advantage of this method:– The fresh gas isolation valve “RV1” minimizes the inspiratory compliance

(without absorber and manual breathing bag).

6.7.2 Expiration

Figure 46 Block diagram of mandatory expiration

The abbreviations mentioned in this chapter refer to Figure 46.

Mandatory expiration process:– The PEEP valve “V1” opens.– The motor of the PCU is activated such that the piston follows the physio-

logical expiration curve. This means the patient is able to exhale at an optimum flow rate.

– The downward movement of the piston opens “RV1”.– “Vi” is closed, and prevents breathing back into the inspiratory branch.– The expiratory flow flows through the expiratory flow sensor “Flowe”, the

PEEP control valve “V1”, the expiratory valve “Ve” and the absorber and back into the piston chamber of the piston cylinder unit.

– The patient gas is additionally enriched with fresh gas.– Surplus mixed gas flows into the manual breathing bag or through the

APL bypass valve “V2” and the non-return valve “RV2” into the anesthetic gas scavenging system AGSS.

Function Description Primus

Advantages of flow-optimized piston guidance:– The gas loss through the AGSS valve is minimized, because no non-

physiological overpressure is created in the expiratory phase.– The fresh gas consumption via the absorber is high as long as the fresh

gas flow is lower than the minute tidal volume “AMV”.– No non-physiological overpressure in the expiration phase. Consequently

there is also no intake of the diaphragm by “V1” (PEEP valve in breathing system).

The piston of the VGC is in the upper end position in order to reduce the dead space volume of the ventilator.

The APL bypass valve “V2” is not actuated and is closed.

6.8.1 Inspiration

Figure 47 Block diagram of manual inspiration

The expiratory valve “Ve” is closed during the inspiratory phase.

Manual inspiration process:– When the manual breathing bag is compressed, the mixed gas (expira-

tory gas and fresh gas) flows through the absorber, the fresh gas isolation valve “RV1”, the inspiratory valve “Vi” and the flow sensor “Flowi” and then into the patient’s lung.

– The pressure sensor “PAWe” measures the airway pressure.– The APL valve limits the ventilation pressure.– The surplus mixed gas flows via the APL valve and the non-return valve

“RV2” into the anesthetic gas scavenging system AGSS.

Primus Function Description

6.9 Spontaneous breathing

During spontaneous breathing of the patient, the switch of the APL valve is set to the SPONT position. No gas pressure builds up in the compact breath-ing system. Only the warnings/alarms for the lower O2 alarm, for the upper airway pressure (Paw) and for CO2 are enabled. The piston of the KZE is moved to the upper end position in order to reduce the dead space volume of the ventilator. The APL bypass valve “V2” is not actuated.

6.9.1 Inspiration

Figure 49 Block diagram of spontaneous inspiration

The expiratory valve “Ve” is closed during the inspiratory phase, and so pre-vents inhalation of expiratory gas with CO2.

Inspiration process:– The patient inhales independently. During inhalation, the gas flows out of

the manual breathing bag through the absorber and is additionally enriched with fresh gas. The enriched mixed gas passes through the fresh gas isolation valve “RV1”, the inspiratory valve “Vi” and the inspira-tory flow sensor “Flowi” and then enters the patient’s lung.

7 Ventilation modes with software ver-sion 2.n or higher

As of Primus software version 2.n, the ventilation modes terms for synchroni-zation and pressure support of spontaneously breathing patients will be changed into the four following terms:– “Volume Mode”.– “Pressure Mode”.– “Pressure Support Mode” (optional).– “Man./Spont Mode”.

7.1 “Volume Mode”

Figure 51 Volume-controlled ventilation with constant inspiratory flow

Ventilation mode Intended use

Volume-controlled ventilation mode with fixed mandatory tidal volume “VT” and frequency “Freq.”, including switchable synchronization and adjustable pressure support for spon-taneous breaths (optional “Pressure Support”).

Anesthesia in relaxed or partially relaxed patients with healthy lungs and in patients with cranio-cerebral trauma. The goal is to maintain a constant volume or a constant “et CO2”.

Figure 52 Synchronization of volume-controlled ventilation and spontaneous breathing

Synchronization is activated as soon as a trigger sensitivity value is entered. The message “sync” is displayed in the ventilation mode status field on the screen.

The flow trigger sensitivity controls the synchronization. The maximum time delay between the controlled ventilation breaths is adjusted by means of the frequency. To keep the frequency constant in the event of a premature trig-gering, the time is equalized in the next ventilation cycle.

A ventilation breath triggered by the patient is indicated by a continuous line (Figure 52/1) in the pressure curve and in the flow curve (trigger indicator). The active flow trigger window (Figure 52/2) corresponds to the last 25% of the relevant expiratory time.

7.3 “Pressure Support Mode”

The ventilation mode “Pressure Support Mode” is an optional feature that must be activated.

Ventilation mode Intended use

Pressure support for spontaneous brathing. This option can be used in all mechanical ventilation modes. At the same time, this option is an inde-pendent ventilation mode.

The patient’s spontaneous breathing effort is sup-ported by the following factors:– The flow trigger sensitivity controls the syn-

chronization.– The adjusted pressure setting is a measure of

the pressure support.

The curve’s rate of rise can be preset with the slope increase time “Tslope”.

In addition, an apnea ventilation can be set via the minimum frequency “Freqmin”.

If the patient does not breathe spontaneously, the ventilator is activated automatically dependent on the set minimum frequency “Freqmin”. The sub-sequent ventilation breath is not a mandatory ventilation breath. The patient can always stop the mandatory ventilation breath by his/her own breathing activity.

7.5 Switching ventila-tion modes

When switching to another ventilation mode, the presettings of the previous mode’s parameters are transferred or usefully derived.

Identical parameters in both ventilation modes (Freq., TINSP, PEEP, pps, trigger) are transferred directly.

7.6 HLM mode The HLM mode (“HLM” = heart-lung machine) enables an alarm-free patient monitoring during extracorporeal oxygenization of the patient by means of a heart-lung machine.

The following conditions apply in the HLM mode:– All gas concentrations are measured independent of the breathing phase.– The CO2 apnea alarm, the pressure apnea alarm, and the SpO2 monitor-

ing alarms are deactivated.

The HLM mode remains active when switching from one ventilation mode to another. Switching to standby mode will deactivate the HLM mode.

The function description relating to the Power pack follows.

Primus Function Description

8 Power pack This section describes the power pack. The power pack comprises the elec-tronics component and two UPS batteries (UPS = Uninterruptible Power Sup-ply).

Figure 58 Power pack position

In the ‘Block diagrams’ section you will find a block diagram of the power pack.

8.1 Power pack input The power pack generates the direct voltage for the Primus components and the charging voltage for the UPS batteries.

The power pack input processes alternating voltages from 85 to 265 V (45 to 65 Hz).

In the event of a power failure or power pack failure, an automatic switch is made to the UPS. The connection to the mains voltage is via a 16 A inlet con-nector for non-heating apparatus.

The inlet connector for non-heating apparatus is protected by a mechanical locking device (to EN 740) to prevent it being pulled out unintentionally.

The power pack has a grounding connection with a 6.3 mm contact.

Primus Function Description

A higher power demand than 600 W is supplied from the batteries.

The switched output voltages (U3 to U6) release with a delay after operation of the switch. The delay is 10 seconds, but can be altered with the CAN pro-tocol to between 5 and 15 seconds.

The power pack is short-circuit-proof and shuts off if operating current = Imax and U < Umin for t > 20 ms.

8.4 Secondary connec-tor

The connector for the voltage outputs is a 24-pin plug. The connector addi-tionally carries the CAN signals, the switching contacts of the power switch and the control wires for the power and battery LEDs on the front panel.

8.5 UPS batteries The two UPS batteries are fitted separately in the housing, behind the power pack. The battery capacity is sufficient to run the Primus for at least 30 minutes.

The Primus power pack performs an automatic battery test every 30 days. The battery test has no effect on the operation of the Primus. In testing, the batteries are discharged by 20% of the available capacity. The battery condi-tion is determined from the resultant battery curve.

The charging time for fully discharged batteries is a maximum of 10 hours. The batteries’ charging management system takes into account the battery temperature. The battery temperature is measured with a temperature sensor (NTC) directly at the batteries.

The battery charging management system prevents exhaustive discharge. If the battery voltage falls below 20 V the power pack shuts down the Primus. If the battery voltage is below 20 V the power pack cannot be powered up.

Function Description Primus

8.6 Power pack CAN communication

With the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus data can be exchanged between the power pack and the other modules. The higher-level software protocol is SABUS (Sensor and Actuator BUS).

The power pack has a CAN 2.0 B compatible interface. The interface trans-fers data and status information in both directions.

The power pack sends its data periodically, every 500 ms, to the GUI.

The power pack CAN bus transfers the following data:– Power pack version– Power pack hours. Total time in operation of power pack.– Battery hours. Power pack operating time in battery mode. The figure is

given in Ah (Ampere hours). – Time remaining: Indicates the time remaining in seconds until the power

pack will shut off.– Battery type: Indication of battery type.– Power pack details: e.g. self-test errors.– Date: To determine how long the unit was switched off.– Switch power pack off. The power pack shuts when the remaining time

expires. The shut-off is aborted as soon as the value “0” (->switch off power pack = no) is received by the power pack.

8.7 Power failure warn-ing

The power pack hooter sounds under the following conditions:– About 1 second after power-up for about 1 second.– If the “Hooter on” error is delivered over the CAN bus. For as long as the

CAN controller is in “Reset” mode.– When the power switch is set to “On” and the batteries are flat or have

been removed.– If no CAN messages are received for the power pack during operation for

more than 15 seconds after receipt of the first CAN message.– In case of power failure.

The hooter sounds for as long as the error condition persists, up to a maxi-mum of 30 seconds +-5 seconds.

Primus Function Description

9 Operating modes This section details the individual operating modes of the Primus.

9.1 Cold start When the Primus is switched on, the unit starts up with a so-called cold start.

During the cold start the user checks and confirms the checklist on the dis-play. Then the user is prompted to connect the Y-piece to the patient unit and set the APL valve to 30 mbar (MAN setting).

In the self-test which follows the unit checks its system components. Any errors detected are indicated on the display. If no errors occurred, the Primus switches to “ready”.

The self-test can be interrupted for an emergency start.

9.2 Standby mode When the self-test is completed, standby mode is automatically activated. In this operating mode no CS gas is consumed. No fresh gas supply is possible (except for fresh gas through the safety O2 adjuster “VSFC”). The user can select all ventilation parameters, the fresh gas flow setting and the ventilation mode.

Alarms and messages are indicated on the display.

9.3 Shutdown All Primus components are switched off from the central power switch. Only the charging circuit for the UPS batteries is permanently in operation.

When the Primus is off, the following alarms are inactive:– Mains power failure– CS pressure failure

9.4 Safety mode If the software detects a serious error during fresh gas supply or ventilation, individual components (such as the mixer) or the entire Primus unit switch to safety mode.

In safety mode it is possible to provide the patient with manual ventilation or spontaneous breathing. The fresh gas is then supplied by the adjustable safety O2 flow control valve “VSFC”.

9.4.1 Safety O2 flow The safety O2 flow is usually set by the user with the safety O2 adjuster and routed through the vaporizer.

The patient is supplied with O2 (4 L/min to 12 L/min) by the “VSFC”. As a result, anaesthetic gas metering is possible. This operating mode is usually activated by the user under the following conditions:– In case of a total system failure. Primus switches to Safety mode.– Power failure or UPS batteries flat.

In this case the control range of the O2 flow is 4 L/min to 12 L/min. If the safety O2 flow is activated in normal mode, a warning appears on the display. The mixer electronics additionally limit the fresh gas flow to 3 L/min. The fresh gas settings are then greyed on the display (from software release 1.n).

Function Description Primus

The following pressure reducer types exist:– AIR, from 200 bar to 5 bar– O2, from 200 bar to 5 bar– N2O, from 60 bar to 5 bar

The diaphragm (M) regulates the pressure.

When the adjusting screw “H” is at the anti-clockwise stop limit the adjusting spring force “Fst” is at its lowest. The valve cone “Vk” is pressed into the valve seat by the spring underneath it and interrupts the gas flow.“pa” rises.

When the adjusting screw (H) is turned clockwise the adjusting spring force (Fst) increases. The valve cone is pressed down by the diaphragm, the valve opens and the low pressure “pa” rises.

A constant low pressure “pa” results from the equilibrium of forces (Fpa = Fst).

The low pressure is preset to between 5 and 6 bar (USA = 2.7 bar and 3.5 bar).

If the low pressure drops, the force “Fpa” decreases and the adjusting spring force “Fst” opens the valve.

If the low pressure rises, the force “Fst” increases and compresses the adjusting spring. The valve is closed accordingly.

The pre-tension of the spring is set by the manufacturer, and can be adjusted by the DrägerService technician.

Bronchial aspirator Function Description

12 Bronchial aspirator

12.1 Intended use The bronchial aspirator is intended for use with the Primus and Zeus anes-thetic workstations. The driving gas is AIR, O2, or VAC (vacuum), depending on the type of bronchial aspirator.

12.2 Device types The device types are designed as stand-alone devices.

The following device types are currently available:– Bronchial aspirator with ejector– Bronchial aspirator with vacuum

12.2.1 Variants The following variants are available:– NIST variant. Can be installed on rail system or on devices with appropri-

ate mounting option. – Pipeline connector variant. The bronchial aspirator is plugged directly into

the pipeline terminal unit.

12.3 Bronchial aspirator with ejector

Figure 62 Front view of the bronchial aspirator with ejector

The front panel has the following parts:– Pressure gauge (Figure 62/1) – Rotary knob for setting aspiration flow (Figure 62/2)– Rotary knob for fine adjustment of regulated aspiration flow (Figure 62/3)

The system vacuum is indicated on the control element (pressure gauge).

12.3.1 Pneumatics (ejector)

Figure 63 Pneumatics of the bronchial aspirator with ejector

Table 27 Legend to Figure 63

The position numbers and valve positions mentioned in this chapter refer to Figure 63.

The driving gas (AIR or O2) enters into the bronchial aspirator through the supply pressure connector.

The operating mode selector (2) is used to select the following operating modes:– OFF (valve position “b”). The bronchial aspirator is switched off.– Regulated flow (valve position “a”). The driving gas passes through the

control valve (3). The control valve adjusts the ejector driving gas thus generating the required vacuum.

– Maximum flow (valve position “c”). The supply pressure is fed directly to the ejector. This generates a maximum vacuum in the suction system.

The non-return valve (6) is used as a mount for the bacterial filter. In the event of malfunctions, the non-return valve makes sure no positive pressure is present in the vacuum system.

Bronchial aspirator Function Description

The bacterial filter (7) makes sure that no particles or bacteria from the collec-tor (8) enter the suction system. The filter material can block fluids up to a vacuum pressure of 920 mbar.

The pneumatic circuit has the following advantages:– In the “regulated flow” position only as much driving gas is used as

required to generate the vacuum.– Fast toggling between regulated flow and maximum flow.– Less noise by reduced gas consumption.– No suction flow loss by bypass openings.

12.4 Bronchial aspirator with vacuum

Figure 64 Front view of the bronchial aspirator with vacuum

The front panel has the following parts:– Pressure gauge (Figure 64/1) – Vacuum regulator (Figure 64/2)– Operating mode selector (Figure 64/3)

The vacuum enters into the bronchial aspirator through the VAC connector (1).

The operating mode selector (2) is used to select the following operating modes:– OFF (valve position “b”). The bronchial aspirator is switched off.– Regulated flow (valve position “a”). The generated vacuum depends on

the position of the vacuum regulator (3). The vacuum is indicated by the pressure gauge (4).

– Maximum flow (valve position “c”). The vacuum is fed directly to the non-return valve (5). This generates a maximum vacuum in the suction sys-tem.

The non-return valve (5) is used as a mount for the bacterial filter.

11 Replacing the lower rolling seal (VGC)

11.1 Removing the VGC 1. Disconnect the Primus from the mains power supply.2. Disconnect the Primus from the three central supply system gases.3. Withdraw the VGC as far as possible out of the Primus.4. Slacken the three fixing screws for the breathing system and remove the

breathing system from the VGC.5. If the piston of the piston cylinder unit is still at the upper position, care-

fully push it down to the lower position by hand (see Figure 30). This will help to fit the upper bag rolling seal later.

6. Take the upper bag rolling seal out of the VGC (see Figure 30).

7. The piston of the VGC is located under the upper bag rolling seal. Care-fully push the piston down to the lower working position.

Figure 30 Location of the upper bag rolling seal

CAUTIONRisk of blocking the motor spindle!Do apply too much force on the piston when performing the next step. This is to avoid that the motor spindle gets stuck in the lower limit position.As of software version 2.01 the piston is moved to the bottom position. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to push down the piston when opening the VGC.
