AincA®
ANESTHESIA ASSOCIATES, INC. · Model 00-408
Adapter, Vaporizer, Outlet, 23mmM x 3/8" Hose Barb, Right Angle, Chrome Brass.
Intended use: A device intended to create a direct connection between a breathing circuit breathing tube and an endotracheal (ET) tube, anaesthesia face mask, or other non-sampling breathing circuit component. It is constructed with specific connecting dimensions and may be designed to connect breathing tubes from paediatric to adult sizes. It is typically made of plastic materials and can have a straight or elbow-shaped design (excludes Y-piece connectors). Some designs may allow for partial rotation at the point of connection (a swivel) and may include a suction port or gas sampling port. This is a reusable device.
Key tips
- ·A failed daily leak test takes the machine out of service immediately - there is no acceptable workaround.
- ·Never run an agent-specific vaporizer with the wrong agent, even briefly, during testing.
- ·CO2-absorbent exhaustion mimics several unrelated fault symptoms - rule it out early.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Will not power on or unexpected shutdown
HighSymptoms: The anesthesia is dead, reboots, or shuts down mid-use.
Root cause: Mains lead / fuse, an aged battery, or a power-supply board fault.
Battery will not hold charge
MediumSymptoms: Short run time on battery; low-battery alarm soon after a full charge.
Root cause: Aged rechargeable battery pack or a charger fault.
Display / control-panel fault
MediumSymptoms: Blank, dim or distorted display; unresponsive keys or touchscreen.
Root cause: Display, backlight, or control-board fault.
Fails self-test or calibration
MediumSymptoms: Power-on self-test or the scheduled performance check fails or is out of tolerance.
Root cause: Sensor drift or an internal board fault; recalibration or repair needed.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily pre-anesthesia machine check: leak test, O2 sensor calibration, per facility protocol
- ·Scheduled vaporizer calibration and agent-specific service
- ·Absorber / CO2 canister replacement
- ·Breathing circuit and hose inspection
- ·Annual full PM and electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not power on
- Confirm the outlet, mains lead and fuse.
- Try on battery, then on mains only, to isolate the supply.
- Look for a power indicator or POST code.
- Replace the fuse / battery / power supply as isolated.
- Run the self-test after any repair.
Symptom: Fails self-test or calibration
- Note the exact failure message / code.
- Power-cycle and repeat the self-test.
- Verify against a reference / simulator where one applies.
- Recalibrate per the service manual.
- Refer the affected board for service if it will not hold calibration.
