2.2.1 Overview Refer to Figure 2-1 through 2-4.
Gas Supplies Gas comes into the system through a pipeline or cylinder connection.
All connections have indexed fittings, filters, and check valves (one-
way valves). Pressure gauges are used to show the pipeline and
cylinder pressures.
A primary regulator decreases the cylinder pressures to
approximately pipeline levels. A pressure relief valve helps protect
the system from high pressures.
To help prevent problems with the gas supplies:
• Install yoke plugs on all empty cylinder connections.
• When a pipeline supply is adequate, keep the cylinder valve
closed.
O2 Flow Pipeline or regulated cylinder pressure supplies O2 directly to the

ventilator as drive gas and anesthesia system as part of the fresh
gas. A low pressure regulator (172 kPa) decreases the pressure for
the O2 flows to the vent engine and flowmeter.
Carestation 30 has been configured with two O2 pipeline inlet fittings
which are connected via a shuttle valve. The O2 pipeline which is in
use supplies pressure to open the shuttle valve port A and close port
B, the pipeline pressure is indicated by a gauge connected to another
port of the shuttle valve.
(In use)
A
B
(Standby)
O2 from cylinder or pipeline is supplied to the O2 flush valve directly.

When pushed, the O2 flush valve supplies high flows of O2 to the
fresh gas outlet.
A pressure sensor monitors the O2 supply pressure. If the pressure is
below the setting value, an alarm appears on the ventilator display.
N2O or AIR Flow N2O gas from the cylinder or pipeline is regulated to 172 kPa by a low
pressure regulator before arriving at the flowmeter.
A balance regulator controls the flow of N2O to the flow control valve.
Oxygen pressure at the control port adjusts the output of the
regulator. This stops flow during an O2 supply failure and ensures that
the hypoxic gas pressures decrease with the O2 supply pressure.
A gear link system on the N2O and O2 flow controls helps keep the O2
concentration higher than approximately 21% at the fresh gas outlet.
For a machine equipped with AIR supplies, pipeline or cylinder
pressure supplies AIR directly to the ventilator (AIR Ventilators). AIR
flow is regulated by a low pressure regulator before it flows to the AIR
flow control valve. Because there is no balance regulator, AIR flow
continues at the set rate during an O2 supply failure.
M1231798 2-11
Carestation 30
Mixed Gas The mixed gas goes from the flowmeter outlet through the vaporizer
manifold and vaporizer that is ON, to the ACGO switch (if equipped).
A pressure relief valve limits the maximum outlet pressure.
The ACGO switch directs the mixed gas to the selected circuit:
• When the ACGO switch is set to ACGO position, the mixed
gas flows to the ACGO port.
• When the ACGO switch is set to the Breathing circuit
position, the mixed gas flows to the breathing system.
ACGO port ACGO switch
2.2.2 Flow control Needle valves (one for each gas) adjust the gas flow. Clockwise
rotating the flow control knob decreases flow. Counterclockwise
rotation increases the flow. A hypoxic guard system sets the
maximum ratio of N2O to O2.
WARNING The hypoxic guard sets a minimum O2 concentration in

the fresh gas stream.
Two flow sensors (optional) located in the Flow Meter

Module monitor the gas from the inlet ports (one sensor
for each gas).
Flow sensors
2-12 M1231798
Hypoxic guard system The hypoxic guard is an integral system that is not serviceable. It
helps to control an approximate minimum 1 to 3 ratio of flow between
O2 and N2O. When engaged, the O2 and N2O knobs turn together:
• An increase in N2O flow causes an increase in O2 flow.
• A decrease in O2 flow causes a decrease in N2O flow.
Higher concentrations of O2 are possible when the hypoxic guard is
not engaged: either by reducing the N2O flow below the point of
engagement or by increasing O2 flow above the point of engagement.
When the N2O flow is below the point of engagement, increasing the
N2O flow turns the O2 sprocket without changing the O2 flow. Once
the guard is engaged, turning the N2O flow control counterclockwise
(increase in N2O flow) also turns the O2 knob counterclockwise
(increase in O2 flow) to maintain a nominal 21% minimum O2
concentration.
Decreasing the N2O flow from the engagement point rotates the O2
sprocket away from the O2 knob, increasing the O2 concentration.

2.3 Flow through the breathing system
2.3.1 Overview of This section looks at three types of flow paths. Refer to Figure 2-1 for
flow paths a graphic representation.
• Ventilation paths: How gas flows from the drive source (bag or
bellows) to and from the patient.
• Fresh gas paths: Fresh gas can flow from the machine interface
directly to the patient through the inspiratory check valve, or
through the absorber into the expiratory flow, or directly to an
external circuit through the optional auxiliary common gas outlet.
• Scavenged gas paths: Excess gas vents to the scavenging
system through the pop-off valve or the APL valve.
2.3.2 Manual Set the BTV switch to manual ventilation mode. In this mode, the BTV
ventilation switch closes the ventilator path.

Figure 2-5 • Carestation 30 Breathing circuit - manual ventilation
Manual inspiration In manual inspiration, drive gas from the bag flows through the BTV
switch and the absorbent canister, then through a unidirectional valve
(inspiratory check valve) to the patient.
During inspiration, fresh gas flows from the machine into the
inspiratory limb, upstream of the inspiratory check valve.
Manual expiration In manual expiration, gas flows from the patient, through a
unidirectional valve (expiratory check valve) and the BTV switch, then
into the bag.
During exhalation, fresh gas flows through the BTV switch into the
bag.
APL Valve The APL valve sets a pressure limit for manual ventilation.
As the APL knob(1) is turned, it puts more or less force on the APL
disc (3) and seat (4) through a spring (2). As circuit pressure

approaches the pressure placed on the APL disc, any additional

pressure will cause the disc to lift and gas vents to the scavenging
system.

In mechanical inspiration, the solenoid valve (6) which is used to

control status of the respiratory valve is open. Drive gas pressure
pushes the respiratory valve (5) to the closed position, stopping gas
from escaping out to scavenging. Drive gas flows through the vent
engine port (7), then flows through the respiratory valve and enters
the bellows housing. The other six solenoid valves in the vent engine
control the drive gas flow. The electrical signals to actuate the
solenoid valves are sent from the signal drive board.

Figure 2-8 • Flow paths of Mechanical Exhalation
During expiration, the solenoid valve (6) is closed, and drive gas flow
stops. The respiratory valve (5) returns to the open position due to
force of the spring. Exhaled gas flows from the patient, through a
unidirectional valve (expiratory check valve), to the corrugated
bellows. Residual drive gas flows out of the bellows housing to the
respiratory valve (5) and exhausts to atmosphere.
During exhalation, fresh gas flows backwards through the BTV switch
into the bellows.
Pop-off Valve The pop-off valve limits the pressure inside the bellows to 2.5 cm H2O
above the drive gas pressure. This normally occurs when the bellows
reaches the top of the housing at the end of exhalation.
Excess gas vents to the scavenging system (if equipped) through the
pop-off valve and the respiratory valve.

Refer to Figure 2-1, “Pneumatic Circuit Diagram”, in Section 2.2 for
the complete pneumatic/ mechanical subsystems.
The ventilator mechanical subsystems include the following main
components:
Vent engine (1)
Respiratory valve assembly (2)
Bellows assembly
Breathing circuit flow sensor
2 1
Figure 2-26 • Main ventilator subsystem components
2.9.1 Vent engine The pneumatic vent engine assembly consists of the hardware that
assembly drives the ventilator bellows, which includes:
• Flow control solenoid valves (A)
• Needle valves (D)
• Drive gas regulator (B)
• Respiratory valve assembly (C)

1 Solenoid valves for drive gas flow control

2 Drive gas regulator (172 kPa)
3 Needle valve (inside the hole)
Figure 2-28 • Flow control solenoid valves and drive gas regulator
The drive gas (O2) regulator is a non-relieving pressure regulator that

regulates high pressure supply gas down to 172 kPa (25 psi). It
supplies regulated O2 gas to the vent engine and flowmeter
assembly.
The inspiratory control valve consists of seven solenoid valves and
six needle valves. One solenoid valve is responsible for controlling
the respiratory valve status, six solenoid valves control the six needle
valves respectively which decide the drive gas flow to the bellows.
The six needle valves are in a parallel connection with a fixed setting
of 1L/min, 2L/min, 4L/min,8L/min,16L/min and 32L/min.
WARNING No field service or hardware calibration is allowed to the

needle valves in the vent engine.
M1231798 2-35
Carestation 30
The control valve is cycled by the signal drive board to supply drive
gas to the outer chamber of the bellows assembly at a rate
determined by ventilator settings and sensor signals. The control
valve modulates the incoming 172 kPa (25 psi) drive gas to an output
from 0 to 63 liters per minute.

1 Respiratory valve
2 Mechanical over pressure relief valve (11 kPa)
Figure 2-29 • Respiratory valve assembly
During exhalation phase, respiratory valve is open, gas flows from the
bellows housing to the exhaust port. During inhalation phase, the
respiratory valve is closed, drive gas flows through the respiratory
valve block and enters the bellows housing.
The pressure relief valve is normally closed, when the drive gas
pressure supplied to the bellows housing is higher than 11 kPa, the
relief valve opens to protect system from high pressure.
2.9.2 Bellows pop-off The Bellows assembly is the interface between drive gas and the
valve patient circuit in the breathing system. The pop-off valve in the
bellows assembly limits pressure in the patient circuit. Excess fresh
gas is discharged through the 30mm port to the gas scavenging
system.
The pop-off valve is normally closed, maintaining approximately 1.5
cmH2O in the breathing system in a no flow condition, enough to keep
the bellows inflated. It is piloted closed during inspiration and remains
closed until the bellows is refilled during exhalation. If the pressure in
the patient circuit exceeds 4 cm H2O, the pop-off valve opens to
exhaust excess fresh gas flow at a rate up to 4 L/min.
Pop-off valve
Figure 2-30 • Bellows Pop-off valve
2-36 M1231798
2.9.3 Breathing The flow sensor cartridge (1) is installed at the expiratory port where it
circuit flow sensor monitors the exhaled TV from the patient. The flow sensor cartridge
consists of a vane that is forced to rotate by the gas traveling through
the breathing system. A clip-on, optically coupled sensor translates
the direction and speed of the vane’s rotation into electrical pulses for
the main board’s microprocessor to analyze.
WARNING Improper connection of the flow sensor in the breathing circuit may
result in inaccurate volume readings.

Then, in Section 5.1.3, select the test that is appropriate for the
regulator you are testing.
WARNING When testing N2O regulators, nitrous oxide flows through

the system. Use a safe and approved procedure to collect
and remove it.
5.1.1 Test setup
WARNING Wear safety glasses while test device is connected to the

test port.
CAUTION Be careful not to plug the output of the cylinder regulator

without having a pressure relief valve in the output circuit.
2. Disconnect all pipeline supplies.
3. Remove the upper rear panel (Section 8.2.1).
4. Install a full cylinder in the cylinder supply to be tested. It is
essential that the cylinder be within 10% of its full pressure.
5. Remove the tubes (1) from the connector and connect a test
device (pressure gauge) capable of measuring 689 kPa (100 psi).
5.1.2 Test Cylinder There are two variations of the test procedure for the cylinder
Regulators regulators:
• Test A - For cylinder regulators that supply drive gas to the
ventilator.
• Test B - For all cylinder regulators not used to supply drive
gas to the ventilator.
5-2 M1231798
5 Calibration
Test A For cylinder regulators that supply drive gas to the ventilator (O2
or Air):
Under low flow conditions, the output pressure of a properly adjusted/
functioning regulator should fall within specifications listed in step 4.
Under high flow conditions, the output pressure should not drop
below the specifications in step 8.
1. Remove the bellows assembly.
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
3. Low Flow Test: Set the O2 flow to 0.05 L/min.
• Close the cylinder valve and allow the pressure to decay to
2068 kPa (300 psi) as indicated on the cylinder gauge (upper
limit of the red band). The flow may be temporarily increased
to facilitate the decay.
• At the time that the cylinder pressure reaches 2068 kPa (300
psi), close the O2 flow control valve.
• Within one minute, the test device must stabilize between
310 - 341 kPa (45.0 - 49.5 psi).
— If the test device pressure does not stabilize within one
minute, replace the cylinder supply.
— If the test device pressure stabilizes within one minute, but
the readings are not within specifications, adjust the
regulator (Section 5.1.3).
5. Set the system switch to ON and enter the Service Mode.
Note Make sure the vent engine has been calibrated before performing this
test (Section 4.3.3).
6. Select and press Valves Test to reach the Valves Test interface.
7. High Flow Test:
• Rotate the encoder knob to select Open all Valves, while

watching the test device, press the knob to confirm.
• After 2 seconds, select Go to Service Mode and press to
stop the gas flow.
• The minimum test device reading observed must be greater
than 207 kPa (30 psi). Repeat this step three times.
M1231798 5-3
Carestation 30
— If the test device reading under “high flow” conditions is

less than specified, adjust the regulator per the procedure
in Section 5.1.3; however, set the regulated pressure
higher by the difference you noted in this step plus 7 kPa
(1 psi). This adjusts the “low flow” regulated output to the
high side of the specification so that the “high flow”
regulated pressure can fall within the specification.
— If the regulator subsequently fails to meet the “low flow”
specification (Step 4) because the reading is too high,
replace the cylinder supply.
9. Close the cylinder valve.
10. Bleed the system of all pressure (Section 8.1).
11. Disconnect the test device and connect the blue tube to the TEE
connector (pull the tube to make sure it is locked in the fitting).
12. Replace the bellows assembly.
13. After the last regulator has been tested, perform the checkout
procedure (Section 3).
Test B For cylinder regulators not used to supply drive gas to the
ventilator:
Under low flow conditions, the output pressure of a properly adjusted
and functioning regulator should fall within specifications listed in step
4. Under high flow conditions, the output pressure should not drop
below the specifications in step 6.
1. If the cylinder supply being tested is N2O, connect a source of O2
to pressurize the balance regulator and allow N2O to flow.
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve for the regulator being tested.
3. Low Flow Test: Set the fresh gas or O2 flow to 0.1 L/min.
• Close the cylinder valve and allow the pressure to decay to
2068 kPa (300 psi) as indicated on the cylinder gauge (upper
limit of the red band). The flow may be temporarily increased
to facilitate the decay.
• At the time that the cylinder pressure reaches 2068 kPa (300
psi), close the O2 flow control valve.
• Within one minute, the test device must stabilize between
310 – 341 kPa (45.0 – 49.5 psi).
— If the test device pressure does not stabilize within one
minute, replace the cylinder supply.
— If the test device pressure stabilizes within one minute, but
the readings are not within specifications, readjust the
regulator (Section 5.1.3).
6. High Flow Test: Set the flow control valve to the maximum
indicated flow on the flow tube.
5-4 M1231798
5 Calibration
• The test device reading must be greater than 221 kPa (32.0
psi).
— If the test device reading under “high flow” conditions is
less than specified, adjust the regulator per the procedure
in Section 5.1.3; however, set the regulated pressure
higher by the difference noted in this step plus 7 kPa (1
psi). This adjusts the “low flow” regulated output to the high
side of the specification so that the “high flow” regulated
pressure can fall within the specification.
— If the regulator subsequently fails the “low flow”
specification (step 3) because the reading is too high,
replace the cylinder supply.
8. Close the cylinder valve.
10. Disconnect the test device and plug the test port (pull on the plug
to make sure it is locked in the fitting).
11. Replace the rear upper panel.
12. Perform the checkout procedure (Section 3).
5.1.3 Adjusting Important: Cylinder supplies in a Carestation 30 machine must have

Cylinder Regulators all high-pressure regulators set to the same pressure range. If a
regulator is replaced, the replacement regulator must be set (as
required) to the same specification as the one removed.
Important: Install a full cylinder in the cylinder supply to be adjusted.
It is essential that the cylinder be within 10% of its full pressure.
If the cylinder supply being adjusted is N2O, connect a source of O2
and set the O2 flow control to the minimum stop (pilot pressure for
low-pressure regulator).
Follow the procedure in Section 5.1.1 to gain access to the regulators
before adjusting:
WARNING Do not attempt to adjust without flow.

2. Set and maintain the fresh gas or O2 flow of the gas being tested
to 0.1 L/min.
3. Close the cylinder valve and allow the pressure to decay to 2068
kPa (300 psi) as indicated on the cylinder gauge (upper limit of
the red band). The flow may be temporarily increased to facilitate
the decay.
4. When the cylinder gauge reaches the upper limit of the red band,
adjust the regulator output pressure to 327 to 341 kPa (47.5 to
M1231798 5-5

7.2 Breathing system leak test

Note Always perform the low-pressure leak test (Section 3.8) on the
machine before proceeding with these breathing system leak tests.
The breathing system leak test helps to isolate the leak: to manual
mode components, to mechanical mode components, or to
components that are common to both modes.
• If you have a similar leak in both the manual mode and the
mechanical mode, consider the absorber canister area.
• If you have a larger leak in one area than the other (mechanical
or manual), the leak is most likely NOT in the absorber canister
area.
The procedures in Section 3.10 test specific components of the
breathing system for leaks.
This test checks for leaks in the mechanical and manual ventilation
mode components. It is part of the overall checkout procedure,
Section 3.10 “Breathing system tests.” It is repeated here for testing
convenience.
patient. This can cause injury or death:
• Do not use a test plug that is small enough to fall
into the breathing system.
• Make sure that there are no test plugs or other
objects caught in the breathing system.
1. Verify that AGSS is operating if equipped.
2. Zero the pressure gauge (Section 5.5.1).
Check valves 3. Make sure that the check valves on the breathing system module
work correctly:
closes at the start of exhalation.
• The Expiratory check valve opens during exhalation and
Ventilator bellows 4. Ventilator bellows test:

• Set the system switch to On.
• Turn all flow controls fully clockwise (closed).
• Connect the inspiratory and expiratory port directly with an
ID22 silicon tube.
• Push the O2 flush button to fill the bellows.
• The pressure must not increase to more than 15 cm H2O on
the pressure gauge.
• If the bellows falls more than 100 mL/min (top of indicator), it
has a leak.

7 Troubleshooting
Bag circuit 5. Test the manual ventilation circuit for leaks:

• Plug the bag port with a approved test plug).
• Set the O2 flow to 0.25 L/min.
• Connect the inspiratory and expiratory port directly with an
ID22 silicon tube, and pressurize the bag circuit with the O2
flush button to approximately 30 cmH2O.
• Release the O2 flush button. The pressure must not
decrease. A pressure decrease large enough to see on the
gauge indicates an unacceptable leak.
APL valve 6. Test the APL valve:

• Set the total fresh gas flow to approximately 3 L/min and
make sure that the value on the airway pressure gauge does
not exceed 65 cmH2O. Some pressure fluctuation is normal.
• Adjust the APL valve to minimum pressure limit position.
• Set O2 flow to 3 L/min. Turn all other gases off.
• Make sure that the value on the airway pressure gauge is
less than approximately 5 cmH2O.
• Push the O2 flush button. Make sure that the value on the
airway pressure gauge stays less than 10 cmH2O.
• Set the O2 flow to minimum and make sure that the value on
the airway pressure gauge does not fall below 0 cmH2O.
7. Remove the ID22 silicon tube from the patient ports.

7.3 Ventilator troubleshooting instructions

For ventilator problems that do not generate any error or alarm
messages, even though the ventilator may not be functioning
correctly:
• Refer to Section 7.5, Mechanical/Electrical troubleshooting guide.
For ventilator problems that result in an Alarm or Error message:
• Refer to Section 7.4, Alarm messages.
Important If the ventilator experiences extreme electromagnetic interference, it

may interrupt mechanical ventilation. If this interruption occurs, the
ventilator generates an internal reset function and resumes normal
operation after two seconds. For situations where continuous
electrical interference is experienced by the ventilator, causing a
continuous interruption, the ventilator's internal reset repeats until the
interference ceases.
If the electrical interference is continuously present and mechanical
ventilation is interrupted for approximately 30 seconds, the ventilator
produces a continuous beeping audio alarm. Manual ventilation for
the patient must be performed while the mechanical ventilation is
interrupted. When the electrical interference ceases, the continuous
beeping audio alarm can be silenced only by turning the anesthesia
machine system switch Off and after five seconds back On.
WARNING This system operates correctly at the electrical

interference levels of IEC 601-1-2. Higher levels can
cause nuisance alarms that may stop mechanical
ventilation.
Manual ventilation must be performed when electrical

interference causes interruption of ventilator delivered
mechanical ventilation. Manual ventilation must be
continued until the ventilator resumes normal operation or
an alternate ventilator/anesthesia system can be used.

WARNING To prevent fires:

• Use lubricants approved for anesthesia or O2
equipment, such as Krytox.
• Do not use lubricants that contain oil or grease; they
may burn or explode in high O2 concentrations.
Obey infection control and safety procedures. Used

equipment may contain blood and body fluids.
A moveable part or a removable component may present

a pinch or a crush hazard. Use care when moving or
replacing system parts and components.
When servicing the ventilator, extreme care must be

taken to avoid introducing foreign debris, particularly
metal chips generated by screw threads, into the
pneumatic flow passages of the ventilator. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the flow valve and possible
injury to the patient.
Some internal parts have sharp edges and can cause

cuts or abrasions. Use care when servicing internal
components.
After repairs are completed, always perform the

corresponding service tests and calibrations followed by
the checkout procedure. Refer to Sections 3 and 4 of this
manual.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge through circuit boards may

damage the components on them. Wear a static control
wrist strap before touching the circuit boards. Handle all
circuit boards by their non-conductive edges. Use
antistatic containers when transporting them.
