8.4″ colour TFT screen with display of Pressure-time, Flow-time and Volume-time waveforms Standard Ventilation Modes of VCV, PCV, Manual & Standby Advanced proportional solenoid valve technology to realize accurate ventilation control Low flow capable mechanical flow meter with hypoxic guard system and back light on/off function with five tubes (two tubes for O2 and N2O and one tube for Air) Integrated Absorber- Can be easily assembled or disassembled without any tools. All gas connections are internal which reduces chances of leakage Dual flow sensing - Inspiratory and expiratory volume measured and displayed on the screen Lithium battery - Up to 360 minutes back up Comprehensive alarm system Central pipeline and cylinders. Yoke system (1XO2, 1XN2O without cylinders) Standard Fresh Gas Outlet for connecting Semi Open circuit Adult and Paediatric modes of operation Electronic PEEP allows clinicians to set accurate PEEP. Optional: Vaporiser, SpO2 Module, CO2( MASIMO – Mainstream), Active AGSS System, Autoclavable function of Absorber, Auxiliary Oxygen flow meter, AIR/O2 Driving for Ventilator with Auto Switching, Mainstream Gas Module for 5 kinds of Anaesthetic Agent, CO2 and N2O (MASIMO)
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
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Vaporizer calibration drift
HighSymptoms: Delivered agent concentration off, low/high agent alarm.
Root cause: Worn bellows or O-ring; agent contamination.
Breathing circuit leak
HighSymptoms: Low minute volume, volume loss, leak alarm.
Root cause: Loose connections, torn bellows, cracked hose.
Scavenging system fault
MediumSymptoms: High scavenger pressure, agent smell in OR.
Root cause: Obstructed scavenger line or failed regulator.
Absorber exhaustion
MediumSymptoms: Rising EtCO2, patient rebreathing.
Root cause: CO2 absorbent saturated.

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 structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Vaporizer calibration drift
- Confirm the presentation - typically delivered agent concentration off, low/high agent alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: worn bellows or O-ring; agent contamination.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the vaporizer (agent-specific) per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
Symptom: Breathing circuit leak
- Confirm the presentation - typically low minute volume, volume loss, leak alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: loose connections, torn bellows, cracked hose.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the breathing circuit / bellows per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
