Working with These Operating Instructions

Figure 1. Example of a Body Page

Header LineThe header line on each page contains the title of the chapter and the title of the subsection that begins on that page. This helps you find your way quickly from subject to subject.

Page BodyThe page body in these Operating Instructions combines text and illustrations. The information is presented as sequential steps of action, giving the user hands-on experience in learning how to use the Apollo machine.

Left-Hand Column - the TextThe text in the left-hand column provides explanations and step-by-step instructions on the practical use of the machine.

Bullet points indicate separate actions. Numbers are used both to refer to relevant details in the illustrations and to specify the sequence of actions where several actions are described.

Right-Hand Column - the IllustrationsThe illustrations provide visual reference for the text and for locating the various parts of the equipment. Elements mentioned in the text are highlighted. Renderings of screen displays guide the user and provide a way to reconfirm actions performed.

Typing ConventionsUser controls are designated as >Control Name<, e.g.:

>PEEP<

Screen messages and screen options are printed in bold, e.g.:

Overview

The user can configure settings on the Apollo in

Standby mode as well as during operation. Standby

configuration allows the user to save a complete set

of defaults that are invoked automatically when the

machine is switched on (see “Configuring the Default

Settings in Standby” below). The configuration

settings that can be made during operation are more

limited and are valid only until the machine is

switched off (see “Configuration During Operation”

on page 162).

Configuring the Default Settings in Standby

Figure 111. Location of Standby Config KeyThe default settings are a set of saved ventilation,

gas monitoring, and alarm settings that are valid

whenever the machine is switched on and are

activated via the soft key >Restore Default

Settings< in the Standby screen.

To configure the default settings:

1. Press the standby key > <, and press the

confirm knob.

2. Press the >Default Config< soft key (1 in Figure

111).

The user is prompted to enter a password in

order to prevent unauthorized changes to basic

functions (see Figure 112). The 4-digit password

is assigned at the factory. If desired, the

password can be changed or the password

function can be disabled altogether by

DrägerService.

Figure 112. Password Screen3. Turn the confirm knob to select the first digit of

the password, and press the knob to confirm.

Continue entering the remaining password digits

in the same manner. The password is

represented as a line of asterisks (****) below the

numbers.

When the password is entered correctly, the first

configuration screen is displayed (Figure 113.).

The configured values are effective immediately.

Important Safety Information

Operator’s Responsibility for Patient Safety

The design of the equipment, the accompanying literature, and the labeling on the equipment take into consideration that the purchase and use of the equipment are restricted to trained professionals, and that certain inherent characteristics of the equipment are known to the trained operator. Instructions, warnings, and caution statements are limited, therefore, largely to the specifics of the Dräger design.

This publication excludes references to various hazards which are obvious to a medical professional and operator of this equipment, to the consequences of product misuse, and to potentially adverse effects in patients with abnormal conditions. Product modification or misuse can be dangerous.

The system must meet the requirements about medical electrical equipment in accordance to IEC/EN 60601-1-1 and IEC/EN 60601-1-2.

General Warnings and CautionsThe following warnings and cautions apply to general operation and maintenance of the Apollo. Additional warnings and cautions about installing and operating specific parts appear with those topics in later sections of this manual.

General Precautions

WARNING !In order to protect patients and users from electrical hazards, it is imperative that all systems consisting of electrical medical devices and other electrical devices, such as but not limited to PCs, printers, etc., be mounted exclusively by trained personnel.

WARNING !This anesthesia system will not respond automatically to certain changes in patient condition, operator error, or failure of components. The system is designed to be operated under the constant surveillance and control of a qualified operator.

WARNING !Each institution and user has a duty to independently assess, based on its, his, or her unique circumstances, what components to include in an anesthesia system. However, Draeger Medical, in the interest of patient safety, strongly recommends the use of an oxygen analyzer, pressure monitor, volume monitor, and end-tidal CO2 monitor in the breathing circuit at all times.

WARNING !Explosive anesthetics, such as ether or cyclopropane, must not be used due to the risk of fire.

WARNING !Apollo must not be used with nuclear spin tomography (MRT, NMR, NMI). Operation of the workstation may be impaired and the patient may be endangered.

WARNING !Drugs or other substances based on flammable solvents, such as alcohol, must not be introduced into the patient system due to the risk of fire. Adequate ventilation must be ensured if highly flammable substances are used for disinfection.

WARNING !Always keep a manual ventilator at hand. If ventilation of the patient is no longer assured due to an obvious fault in the equipment, the patient must be immediately ventilated with a separate emergency ventilator.

WARNING !No third-party components shall be attached to the anesthesia machine, ventilator, or breathing system (except for certain approved exceptions). Contact DrägerService for further information.

WARNING !Do not apply unregulated suction to the patient circuit when using this device.

WARNING !The Apollo anesthesia system must be serviced only by properly trained technicians.

WARNING !A test for leakage current must be performed by qualified biomedical engineering personnel before use if the Apollo is interfaced with other equipment.

WARNING !A preuse checkout procedure must be performed immediately before each use of the Apollo. A recommended procedure is provided in this manual.

WARNING !Do not use Apollo in areas of explosion hazard. This anesthesia system is neither approved nor certified for use in areas where combustible or explosive gas mixtures (e.g., O2 or agent-enriched environments) are likely to occur.

WARNING !Portable and mobile radio communication equipment such as cellular radio telephones can interfere with electromedical devices (see “Electromagnetic Interference Resistance” on page 221).

WARNING !When moving the anesthesia machine, remove all monitors and equipment from the top shelf, and use only the machine handles. The anesthesia machine should only be moved by people who are physically capable of handling its weight. Draeger Medical recommends that two people move the anesthesia machine to aid in its maneuverability. Exercise special care so that the machine does not tip when moving up or down inclines, around corners, and across thresholds (for example, in door frames and elevators). Do not attempt to pull the machine over any hoses, cords, or other obstacles on the floor.

WARNING !To avoid electrical shock hazard:

• Due to the risk of electric shock, do not remove any component cover. Refer any servicing to DrägerService.

• Use only hospital-grade grounded electrical outlets and power cord.

• This device is to be used only in rooms with line power installations complying with national safety standards for hospital patient rooms (e.g., IEC 601.1, “Safety of Medical Equipment”).

• Make sure the external equipment is hospital-grade grounded before connecting the equipment.

• Disconnect the power supply from the electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing. Let it dry completely before reconnecting it to the electrical outlet. Always ensure that the clamp for the power cord, at the power supply end, is tight thus preventing an accidental disconnect from the unit.

• Do not connect additional external equipment other than equipment specified by Draeger Medical.

WARNING !If it is suspected that fluids were spilled into the device, remove the Apollo from service as soon as is practical. Turn the power switch off, unplug the main power cord, and contact the appropriate trained service provider to evaluate the device before placing it back into service.

WARNING !Only configure the Apollo for optional accessory mounting systems using one of the permitted combinations listed in this manual (see “Accessory Weight Limits” on page 11. Use of any other configuration may create a tip hazard.

WARNING !Care must be taken when connecting the patient. Risk of strangulation!

WARNING !Although designed to minimize the effects of ambient radio-frequency interference, the Apollo may be adversely affected by the operation of electrosurgical equipment, defibrillators, or shortwave/microwave diathermy equipment in the vicinity.

WARNING !To ensure patient safety:

• This device must be used by, or on the order of, a physician.

• Constant attention by a qualified professional is needed whenever a patient is under anesthesia or connected to a ventilator. Some equipment malfunctions may pass unnoticed in spite of the monitor alarms.

• Always make sure that alarm limits are set and alarms are active when monitoring a patient. Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjusting the alarm volume to a low level during patient monitoring can jeopardize the patient.

• If the accuracy of any value display is in doubt, first determine the patient’s vital signs by alternate means before verifying that the monitor is working correctly.

• If the display loses patient data, it is possible that active monitoring is not being performed. Close patient observation or alternate monitoring devices should be used until monitor function is restored.

CAUTION ! Apply the central brake when the anesthesia machine is in use.

Vaporizers (Optional)The Dräger Vapor® anesthetic agent vaporizers are used to enrich the fresh gas with a precisely metered quantity of vapor from the liquid anesthetic agent being used, i.e. Isoflurane, Halothane, Enflurane, Sevoflurane, or Desflurane.

When using a Desflurane vaporizer, it must be connected to mains power. The auxiliary power outlet (IEC/EN 60320-2-2/F) near the vaporizer exclusion system is provided for that purpose.

For complete information, consult the appropriate Instructions for Use provided with the vaporizer.

Note: Do not mount the vaporizer park holder close to the operable vaporizer.

Vaporizer Exclusion SystemsThe exclusion systems available for the Apollo are described below.

Figure 4. Dräger Vapor Interlock 2 SystemDräger Vapor® Interlock 2 System (Optional)The Dräger Interlock 2 system is used to ensure that only one of two vaporizers can be used at a time. It has a selector lever used to select which vaporizer is enabled.

Moving the selector lever away from the desired vaporizer allows that vaporizer to be used and the other to be locked out of use.

Note that the selector lever (1 in Figure 4) is shown in the center position. This ensures that both vaporizers are in the locked position. Also, this is the recommended position for the selector lever when moving the Apollo.

Selectatec (Optional)The interlock system for the Selectatec is built into the vaporizers. When a vaporizer is selected for use, the interlocking index pins will protrude from the sides of the vaporizer thereby not allowing the adjacent vaporizer to be opened. For more specific information on the Selectatec, refer to the Selectatec Vaporizer’s instruction manual.

APL ValveThe APL valve has two functions. It limits the maximum pressure during manual ventilation and exhausts excess gas into the scavenger system during manual and spontaneous ventilation.

The APL valve is connected to the patient airway through the ventilator. It functions only when the ventilator is in Manual/Spontaneous mode.

The adjustment knob (1 in Figure 6) is used to select between spontaneous and manual modes of ventilation. It’s labeled to indicated approximate pressure settings.

Figure 6. APL ValveFor spontaneous ventilation:

Pressure is released for spontaneous ventilation when the adjustment knob is rotated fully counterclockwise, when the index mark on the knob lines up with the index mark on the bottom of the APL valve (2 in Figure 6). Spontaneous ventilation eliminates both resistance to patient exhalation and the need to readjust back pressure.

For manual ventilation:

In manual mode, the APL valve adjustment knob can be rotated to change the approximate pressure at which gas will flow through the valve and into the scavenging system. Clockwise rotation of the adjustment knob increases the pressure, and counterclockwise rotation of the adjustment knob decreases the pressure. Pulling up on the APL valve knob will temporarily relieve pressure.

Note: The APL valve is automatically excluded from the breathing circuit whenever an automatic ventilator mode is selected. It is suggested that even in automatic ventilation, the APL valve is adjusted to a pressure that is safe for the patient.

WARNING !Route all lines/cables away from the APL valve to prevent interference with the APL adjustment knob. Lines/cables caught underneath the APL adjustment knob could interfere with the proper functioning of this valve.

Part N

umber: 90 38 237, 6th edition

Figure 7. Location of O2 FlushO2 FlushA manually operated O2 flush valve is located on the front of the machine (1 in Figure 7). When actuated, the valve delivers an unmetered flow of at least 35 L/min to the breathing system and breathing bag while bypassing the ventilator. The Apollo does not have to be switched on to use the O2 flush.

• To operate the O2 flush, push the O2+ button. Oxygen flows into the breathing system without anesthetic gas as long as the button is pushed in.

Auxiliary Oxygen FlowmeterFigure 8. Auxiliary Oxygen FlowmeterThe auxiliary oxygen flowmeter delivers a metered

flow of pure oxygen, used, for example in the delivery of oxygen through a nasal cannula. Auxiliary oxygen can be used in any ventilation mode, in Standby, or even if the machine is switched off.

Writing TableFigure 9. Writing TableThe Apollo is equipped with a writing table (1 in

Figure 9) which can be moved left or right or folded down completely for convenient positioning.

To fold down the writing table, support the table with one hand, then pull up on the release knob (2 in Figure 9) and fold down. To bring the table up again, swing it upward until it clicks into place.

OverviewThis section of the manual provides information on how to set up and install all system components needed to prepare the Apollo for use. The setup procedure shall be followed by the performance of the Periodic Manufacturer’s Procedure.

Charging the Battery for Emergency OperationApollo has a built-in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which maintains the power supply for at least 30 minutes (up to 90 minutes, depending on the ventilation parameters) in the event of a mains power failure, provided that the battery is fully charged.

Switching to battery power takes place automatically and is indicated on the screen by the message: POWER FAIL.

The battery recharges automatically when the workstation is plugged into the mains, but only up to a maximum ambient temperature of 95° F/35o C.

Figure 18. Location of AC Power LEDThe battery must be charged for 10 hours before using the workstation for the first time:

1. Plug the mains power plug of the Apollo workstation into the mains outlet. The mains voltage must correspond to that specified on the rating plate on the back of the machine.

The green LED labeled >N AC Power< lights up (1 in Figure 18).

2. Leave the Apollo connected to the mains for 10 hours. The workstation does not have to be switched on.

WARNING !Use only clean and disinfected parts to prevent infection of patient or user.

Figure 21. Installing the Absorber Canister1. Push the insert fully into the absorber canister (1 in Figure 21).

2. Fill the absorber canister with fresh soda lime up to the MAX mark.

3. Fit the canister into position below the breathing system, and turn counterclockwise as far as possible..

Note: The optional disposable Drägersorb CLIC absorber can also be used instead of the reusable absorber described above.

➥1

WARNING !Absorbent is caustic and is a strong eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritant. Use care when handling the absorbent to avoid spills.

Caution !It is recommended that Drägersorb 800 Plus or Drägersorb FREE be used. Do not use powdered soda lime, as a higher dust load may impair functionality of the Apollo workstation.

WARNING !Do not flush dry gas continuously for unnecessarily long periods through the soda lime in the anesthesia system!The soda lime will dehydrate. If the moisture level falls below a minimum level, undesirable reactions generally occur, regardless of the type of soda lime and the inhalation anesthetic used:• reduced CO2 absorption• increased heat generation in the absorber

and therefore, increased breathing gas temperature

• CO formation• Absorption or breakdown of the inhalation

anesthetic agentThese reaction can endanger the patient.

Leak TestsFigure 50. Mechanical Ventilation Leak TestThe Apollo tests for leaks in the mechanical

subsystem and in the Man/Spont system.

Figure 50 shows the components tested in the mechanical ventilation branch. This branch is tested with positive pressure. Leaks are indicated on the Self Test Results screen by the red/yellow/green indicator and by posting the leak value in mL/min (Leak (system) test result in Figure 48).

Figure 51 shows the components tested in the Man/Spont leak test. This test is performed with sub-atmospheric pressure. Leaks are indicated on the Self Test Results screen by the red/yellow/green indicator and by posting the leak value if it’s over 150 mL/min (Leak (Man/Spont) result in Figure 48).

The Apollo determines the current leakage of the breathing system and breathing hoses. The system tolerates leakage of up to 150 mL/min.

For leaks of more than 150 mL/min:

• check the components of the breathing system, repair any leaks, and repeat the leak test.

Note: Carry out leak test after changing breathing hoses, vaporizers or soda lime.

Figure 51. Man/Spont Ventilation Leak TestPossible causes of leaks include:

• Leaks in the breathing circuit or disconnection of circuit components

• CO2 canister not seated properly• Gas sampling line cracked or disconnectedIf a leak is reported, check the following:

• Verify that the breathing bag is secured tightly and not leaking.

• Ensure that the patient hoses, filters, and Y-piece are tightly connected and not leaking.

• Remove the inspiratory and expiratory 22 mm (0.87 in) port connectors and ensure that the O-rings are present and in good condition.

• Ensure that both flow sensors are present and not cracked or broken.

OverviewThis section of the manual summarizes basic operation of the Apollo, including starting operation, changing patients, and ending operation. Specific information on setting ventilation and monitoring parameters is provided in later chapters of the manual.

Figure 54. Standby ScreenTypical OperationOperation of the Apollo begins with the Standby screen which is displayed after the initial self tests. This screen allows the user to restore default settings and enter the patient parameters needed to begin a case.

Loading Default SettingsThe default settings are a set of saved ventilation, gas monitoring, and alarm parameters that have been previously configured in the Standby screen (see “Configuring the Default Settings in Standby” on page 147 for complete instructions). They are valid whenever the Apollo is switched on and are restored in the Standby screen as described below.

1. Press the >Restore Default Settings< key on the Standby screen (1 in Figure 54).

2. Press the confirm knob to confirm the restore.

Entering the Patient’s AgeThe patient age influences the calculation of the MAC factor, volumeter scale, the vertical axis of loop and ventilation monitoring graphs, alarm limits for (optional) SpO2 monitoring, and the automatic volume adjustment of the Breathing Sound Emulator (BSE) module (see page 149). In addition, the trigger sensitivities and software algorithms for suppressing artifacts are also modified based on age, thus influencing the quality of ventilation in spontaneous breathing modes.

The patient age parameter is available in the Standby screen as well as in all ventilation modes. Changing the patient’s age during operation immediately impacts the parameters described above.

1. Press the >Age< key on the Standby screen (2 in Figure 54).

2. Turn the confirm knob until the correct patient age is displayed, and press the knob to confirm.

Entering the Patient’s Ideal Body Weight (optional)The patient’s ideal body weight is the actual weight minus estimated excess fat. The entered ideal body weight influences the ventilator default settings for tidal volume (VT) and frequency (Freq), as well as the alarm limits for expiratory minute volume (MV) during operation.

The patient ideal body weight parameter is available in the Standby screen as well as in all ventilation modes. Changing the patient’s ideal body weight parameter during operation does not change the actual parameters described above.

1. Press the >Weight< button on the Standby screen (3 in Figure 54).

2. Turn the confirm knob until the correct weight is displayed, and press the knob to confirm.

Setting Fresh-Gas FlowSet the fresh-gas flow to desired levels using the flow control knobs on the front panel of the machine.

SORC (Sensitive Oxygen Ratio Controller)

The Apollo is equipped with an O2 minimum delivery system to avoid hypoxic gas mixtures when N2O is selected as the carrier gas. At flow rates of 200 mL/min and above, the N2O concentration can be freely set between 0 and 79%.

During an O2 shortage, the SORC limits the N2O concentration in the fresh gas, so that the O2 concentration does not fall below 21%. When the N2O flow control is open and the O2 flow control is closed (or O2 flow is less than 200 mL/min), the SORC prevents N2O flow. During N2O failure, O2 can still be administered.

The SORC is not active when air is selected as the carrier gas and 100% air can be metered throughout the entire flow range.

CAUTION ! Accumulation of metabolic products may occur during low flow anesthesia, therefore monitoring of oxygen concentration is mandatory. Flushing the circuit with fresh gas at regular intervals may be necessary, particularly if decreasing oxygen concentrations are measured.

Manual/Spontaneous VentilationFigure 61. APL Valve - Spontaneous Mode Setting To use the manual/spontaneous ventilation mode,

the user must first set the APL valve to the appropriate mode and then select the mode using the >Man Spont< key on the front display panel.

Setting the APL ValveFor manual ventilation:

• Turn the APL valve adjustment knob to the desired pressure. Clockwise rotation increases the pressure, and counterclockwise rotation decreases the pressure.

The patient can be ventilated by hand using the breathing bag. The pressure will be limited to the value set on the APL valve.

To temporarily relieve pressure:

• Pull up on the APL valve knob

For spontaneous breathing:

• Rotate the APL valve adjustment knob fully counterclockwise, until the index mark on the knob lines up with the index mark on the bottom of the valve (1 in Figure 61).

The valve is now open for spontaneous patient breathing.

Volume-Controlled VentilationFigure 63. Respiratory Cycle - Volume ModeThe Apollo has a volume-controlled ventilation mode

with fixed mandatory tidal volume (VT) and frequency (Freq). Synchronization can be activated, as well as variable pressure support for spontaneous breathing efforts (optional).

The respiratory cycle (see Figure 63) is defined through the frequency (Freq), the inspiratory time (TINSP), the magnitude of the inspiration flow, the inspiratory pause time (TIP:TINSP) and the tidal volume (VT). Synchronization and pressure support are controlled by the sensitivity of the flow trigger and the level of ∆PPS. The maximum time interval for controlled ventilation is set via the frequency. In order to maintain a constant frequency, a time interval triggered prematurely is compensated in the next cycle.

Compliance Compensation

Ventilator compliance compensation is continuously applied during volume-controlled ventilation so that the tidal volume delivered to the patient corresponds to the Vt setting. Ventilator compliance is determined during the leak test performed in Standby mode. To have compliance compensation work accurately, it is important that the patient hoses used during the leak test match the type of hoses used during the proce-dure.

Figure 64. Volume Mode ScreenNote: When the ventilator settings for volume mode cause the ventilator to operate at its limits of performance, it is not possible for the Apollo to apply compliance compensation. If the ventilator's performance limit is reached, it is not possible to increment the Vt setting using the Vt soft key.

Starting Volume-Controlled VentilationPresetting the Volume Ventilation Mode

Prior to activating volume mode, the user can preset the volume mode parameters.

Pressure Support Ventilation (Optional)

Figure 71. Respiratory Cycle - Pressure Support ModeThe Apollo has an optional pressure-assisted ventilation mode. It is intended to reduce the work of breathing and is indicated for use only in patients who are breathing spontaneously. Patients who are not making spontaneous breathing efforts are not candidates for pressure support ventilation.

Pressure support ventilation is triggered by the patient’s spontaneous effort to breathe. Most anesthetic agents will cause patients to have reduced ventilatory responses to carbon dioxide and to hypoxemia. Therefore, patient triggered modes of ventilation may not produce adequate ventilation. Additionally, the use of neuromuscular blocking agents will interfere with patient triggering.

Synchronization and pressure support for the spontaneous breathing efforts are controlled via the sensitivity of the flow trigger and the level of ∆PPS. The rate at which the pressure curve rises is preset via the rise time TSLOPE. Refer to Figure 71.

The maximum inspiratory time for a spontaneous breathing stroke varies with age. It is equal to not more than 1.5 seconds in patients under the age of 4, and not more than 4 seconds in patients with a set age of 4 years or more.

Inspiration is ended as soon as the actual inspiration flow drops below 25% of the inspiratory peak flow. Any leakage is compensated at the actual airway pressure at the same time.

Apnea ventilation can be additionally set via the minimum frequency (FreqMIN). The ventilator is automatically triggered via FreqMIN if there is no spontaneous breathing activity by the patient. This is not a mandatory ventilation stroke by the ventilator; the patient can end the stroke triggered by the ventilator at any time by breathing spontaneously. This stroke is not identified by a trigger indicator. Apnea ventilation can also be deactivated again by setting the FreqMIN to “OFF”.

Apnea ventilation is intended to provide some degree of gas exchange if the patient’s respiratory rate falls below the desired minimum setting. It is not intended as a primary mode of ventilation.

Chapter 7 - Ventilation When Changing Between Ventilation Modes

Part N

umber: 90 38 237, 6th edition

When Changing Between Ventilation ModesWhen changing to a different ventilation mode, the presettings are adopted or appropriately derived from the parameters of the preceding mode. Presettings that are identical in both ventilation modes are adopted directly (e.g., Freq, TINSP, ∆PPS, Trigger).

When changing from volume-controlled to pressure-controlled ventilation, the measured plateau pressure is adopted as the new value for PINSP. If a valid plateau pressure value is not available, the last value used in the case will be used as the preset value (the preset value of PINSP will be at least PEEP + 5). The PAW low alarm limit will be pre-set to PINSP-2 if the alarm limit was higher than PINSP-2 during volume-controlled ventilation.

When changing from pressure-controlled to volume-controlled ventilation, the new tidal volume (VT) is adopted from the measured minute volume (MV) and the set frequency (Freq). Only the minute volume applied by the ventilator is taken into account; pressure-supported breathing strokes by the patient are disregarded.

When changing from automatic ventilation modes to the optional pressure-support mode, the set PEEP, ∆PPS, and trigger values are adopted. If ∆PPS and/or trigger were set to “OFF”, the last values used are adopted in pressure support mode. In all other cases the configured default settings are used. The PAW low alarm limit will be pre-set to PEEP+∆PPS-2 if the alarm limit was higher than PEEP+∆PPS-2 during automatic ventilation mode.

When changing from the optional pressure-support mode to automatic ventilation modes, the set PEEP, ∆PPS, and trigger values are adopted. The last values that were set are used for the other parameters and the configured default settings in all other cases.

Automatic Parameter ChangesWith the proper configuration setting in the Standby Configuration screen, certain ventilation parameters change automatically when a related parameter is changed. See the “Configuration” chapter for complete information.

TINSP ChangesTSLOPE may be reduced simultaneously if TINSP is reduced.

The Low Flow Wizard.

The low flow wizard shows bar graphs for the minimum required flow (leak and uptake) and for the total fresh-gas flow. Both graphs have the same scale.

The total fresh-gas flow bar graph has three ranges:

Gas consumption depends on patient uptake, leakage, and the CO2 volume converted in the absorber.

If fresh gas data is unavailable, the bar graph will be inactive and the text will appear grayed out.

WARNING !This tool should not be used when higher flows are required such as during induction, emergence, or other times when rapid changes to the concentration of gases in the circuit are desired, or when the chemical pharmacology of the agent being used indicates otherwise.

Volumeter ModuleThe volumeter module shows the tidal volume (VT) and minute volume as bar graphs. The scales can be configured by the user (see the “Configuration” chapter for more information.)

Tidal Volume (Upper) GraphThe tidal volume graph increases during the inspiratory flow and decreases during the expiratory flow. A blue vertical line remains on the graph to indicate the inspiratory volume, while the bar recedes from the line to indicate the expiratory phase.

The expiratory tidal volume is shown in numerics above the graph. Leakage is indicated by the bar remaining in the graph at the end of the expiratory phase..

The Minute Volume (Lower) GraphThe minute volume, or volumeter, provides a graphical and numerical indication of the expiratory minute volume. Each unit in the graph represents one breath. The total volume is shown above the graph and the expired time is shown beside the graph in seconds. The measured values are displayed for four minutes and then deleted.

To start the volumeter:

• Push the confirm knob.The measurement begins and stops automatically after 60 seconds. The volumeter is stopped if the confirm knob is pushed again within 60 seconds; the values are deleted and the confirm knob must be pushed again to restart.

Gas MeasurementThe concentration of O2, CO2 and of the anesthetic agents N2O, halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane is measured.

Apollo automatically identifies the anesthetic agent used and adjusts the measurement and monitoring of the anesthetic gas concentration to suit the gas identified.

When no anesthetic agent is applied, the message “No agent” appears below the O2/N2O measurement.

.

Figure 81. Example of Calibration MessagesCalibrationThe gas measuring module is calibrated automatically when the workstation is started and then every two hours after that.

O2 calibration is performed parallel to the gas measuring module every eight hours.

During calibration, messages informing the user about the calibration appear on the screen (1 and 2 in Figure 81), and the measurement values are replaced with the word “CAL” (3 in Figure 81).

CO2 and O2

The CO2 and O2 concentrations are side-stream measured, thus delaying an indication of the real-time values by approximately four seconds. The displayed CO2 and O2 curves are not synchronized with the pressure and flow curves.

If apnea occurs, the display for etCO2 is replaced by the message "Apnea". The apnea time [min:sec] is displayed instead of the measured value.

Anesthetic agentsThe anesthetic agents are side-stream measured in the same way as CO2 and O2.

WARNING !The presence of aerosols in the breathing circuit should be avoided, as the displayed agent concentrations and/or the water trap membrane may be affected.The presence of organic cleaning agents or gases contaning haloalkanes (e.g., CFC) will impair the accuracy of the integrated gas analyzer.

Chapter 8 - Monitoring Gas Measurement

Part N

umber: 90 38 237, 6th edition

Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) definition1 MAC is equal to the anesthetic gas concentration at 760 mmHg at which 50% of all patients no longer respond to a stimulation of the nerves.

The values listed in the table below are used to calculate the MAC factor. These values are merely guideline values and are still subject to debate. The current MAC values listed in the instructions enclosed with the anesthetic gases are binding.

Figure 82. Influence of Age on MAC

The MAC value depends on the patient's age. The above values refer to the age of 40 years.

If there is a mixture of two volatile agents, the concentration of the secondary agent is displayed if the MAC factor is 0.1 MAC or greater. The gas with the higher expiratory MAC factor is displayed above the secondary gas.

A secondary agent becomes the primary agent if its MAC factor exceeds the MAC factor of the primary agent by 0.2 MAC.

A mixture of more than two volatile anesthetic agents cannot be reliably detected.

Calculating the MAC factorsThe MAC value is a simple navigation aid for determining the dosage of anesthetic agent.

Apollo takes into account age correction, altitude correction and mixture calculation. The influence of other medication (opiates or intravenous hypnotics) is not taken into account when calculating MAC factors.

The measured values used for calculating the MAC factor are the end-expiratory concentrations. Partial pressures are taken into account.

The displayed value is calculated at 760 mmHg as follows:

Age-corrected MAC factors are calculated according to W.W. Mapleson (British Journal of Anaesthesia 1996, pages 179-185), whose formula only applies for patients >1 year old:

MAC = MAC 40 x 10 (-0.00269 x (age - 40))

The formula shows the reciprocal relationship existing between MAC and age.

Age 1 is used for calculation if the age is <1:

Example:

Expiratory concentrations of 0.9 Vol.% isoflurane and 50 Vol.% N2O are measured for a 60-year-old patient.

1 MAC isoflurane at 60 years equals 1.01 according to the formula above.

1 MAC N2O at 60 years equals 92.4 according to the formula above.

The total MAC factor is calculated as follows:

In other words, 1.4 MAC is obtained with the current concentration. For a 20-year-old patient, the same concentration yields a MAC factor of 1.1.

.

Note: The user can configure whether or not the MAC factor shall be displayed AND whether or not the MAC factor shall be corrected for patient age (see page 150 and page 162).

0.9 Vol.% Iso +

50 Vol.% N2O = 1.4

1.01 (MAC Iso) 92.4 (MAC N2O)

WARNING !Age-based MAC values only apply if the patient’s age is greater than or equal to 1 year. If the patient is younger than 1 year, age-based MAC for 1 year shall apply.

The sensor is preferably positioned on the index finger, although other fingers can also be used. The little finger should be used if the patient is particularly large or obese.

• Open the clip slightly and slide the sensor onto the finger. The tip of the finger must touch the end of the sensor and the soft padding should rest on the nail and tip of the finger. The lead should be on top of the finger.

• Ensure that the finger is not compressed or hurt by the clip.

• Change the application site after not more than 4 hours in order to avoid a build-up of blood pressure (blocked circulation).

Tips to Prevent Artifacts

WARNING !Only use Nellcor sensors in the recommended positions, otherwise incorrect measurements and injury may result.

WARNING !Damaged sensors with exposed electrical contacts must not be used – danger of electric shock.

WARNING !The adhesive strips must not be stretched unduly. Never use two strips together, as this may lead to venous pulsation and pulse signal failure.

WARNING !High intrathoracic pressure, pressure on the thorax, and other consecutive impairments of the venous flow can lead to venous pulsation and pulse signal failure.

CAUTION ! The pulse signal may fail in the presence of shock, low blood pressure, severe vasoconstriction, major anemia, hypothermia, arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor, and asystolia.

CAUTION ! The sensor must be protected from exposure to bright light (e.g., surgical lamps and direct sunlight), otherwise the pulse signal may fail or the results may be inaccurate.

CAUTION ! Intravascular dyes, such as methylene blue, may impair measurement accuracy.

CAUTION ! The sensor should not be positioned on limbs together with an arterial catheter, sphygmomanometer cuff, or intravascular venous infusion, otherwise the pulse signal may fail and measurements may be inaccurate.

CAUTION ! Measurement accuracy may be reduced in the presence of significant concentrations of dyshemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin.

CAUTION ! Electrocautery can impair measuring accuracy; the leads and sensor should therefore be positioned as far away from the electrocautery and its neutral electrode as possible.

CAUTION ! Sensor performance may be impaired and lead to inaccurate results if the patient moves violently. The sensor should be applied to a quiet/stable site in such cases, in order to reduce the risk of artifacts due to movement.

CAUTION ! The displayed plethysmogram is a relative indicator of the pulse amplitude. Its scale is not absolute and it is only used to judge the quality of the SpO2 measurement.

CAUTION ! The sensor must not be immersed in liquid – this may lead to malfunctions.

Alarm PrioritiesApollo alarms are organized into three categories based on urgency:

Figure 100. Alarm DisplayAlarm IndicationsAlarms are indicated to the user in three ways:

• a color-coded alarm message is displayed in the status field on the screen (1 in Figure 100)

• the LED alarm indicator lights up (2 in Figure 100)

• an acoustic tone is annunciated (see below)

If alarm limits are violated, the corresponding measured values on the screen will be highlighted on a colored background (3 in Figure 100) and will flash on and off. The colored background will reflect the color-coding of the alarm priority (red, yellow, white).

The specific way each alarm type is indicated is as follows:

For a complete list of Apollo alarm messages, see “Alarm – Cause – Remedy” on page 197 of this manual.

Warning:(red alarm field)

highest priority alarm, requiring immediate response

Caution:(yellow alarm field)

medium priority alarm, requiring prompt action

When the alarm limits menu appears, the standard screen is automatically displayed, regardless of which screen was displayed previously. The alarm limits menu is displayed on the right side of the screen next to the curves (2 in Figure 108). The menu lists the parameters, their current measured values, and the current low and high alarm limits. The alarm limits also appear on the curves as dashed lines (3 in Figure 108).

A disabled alarm limit is indicated by two dashes (--). Alarm limits that have been disabled globally by the user (see page 139) are indicated in the alarm limits menu by the symbols “ “ and “ “. These symbols cannot be selected with the cursor.

Figure 109. Placing the CursorNote: If configured, the alarm limits menu is opened automatically whenever an alarm limit is violated. See the “Configuration” chapter of this manual for information on enabling/disabling this function.

To set an alarm limit:

1. Turn the confirm knob to place the cursor on the desired alarm limit (Figure 109 shows the cursor on the PAW low alarm limit), and push to confirm. The alarm limit becomes highlighted in yellow.

2. Turn the confirm knob until the desired value is displayed, and push to confirm.

Auto-Set of Alarm Limits

Figure 110. Auto-Set Alarm LimitsThe auto-set function automatically sets minute volume (MV) and airway pressure (PAW) alarm limits based on current parameters. The function is available in volume, pressure, and optional pressure-support mode when there are measured values for pressure and volume.

To auto-set MV and PAW alarm limits:

• Press the >Auto-set Limits< soft key (1 in Figure 110).

The alarm limits menu opens automatically. The MV and PAW limits are modified and appear highlighted on an orange background.

The new alarm limits for MV are calculated from the measured value for the minute volume (MV) in volume, pressure, and optional pressure-support mode, as shown below:

The displayed value may differ marginally due to rounding errors, since the values are calculated internally with much greater accuracy.

The new alarm limits for PAW are calculated on the basis of the mean values for PEAK, PLAT, and PEEP over the last four ventilation strokes. Spontaneous breaths by the patient and triggered pressure support strokes are not taken into account.

OverviewThe user can configure settings on the Apollo in Standby mode as well as during operation. Standby configuration allows the user to save a complete set of defaults that are invoked automatically when the machine is switched on (see “Configuring the Default Settings in Standby” below). The configuration settings that can be made during operation are more limited and are valid only until the machine is switched off (see “Configuration During Operation” on page 160).

Configuring the Default Settings in Standby

Figure 111. Location of Standby Config KeyThe default settings are a set of saved ventilation, gas monitoring, and alarm settings that are valid whenever the machine is switched on and are activated via the soft key >Restore Default Settings< in the Standby screen.

To configure the default settings:

1. Press the standby key > <, and press the

confirm knob.

2. Press the >Default Config< soft key (1 in Figure 111).

The user is prompted to enter a password in order to prevent unauthorized changes to basic functions (see Figure 112). The 4-digit password is assigned at the factory. If desired, the password can be changed or the password function can be disabled altogether by DrägerService.

Figure 112. Password Screen3. Turn the confirm knob to select the first digit of the password, and press the knob to confirm. Continue entering the remaining password digits in the same manner. The password is represented as a line of asterisks (****) below the numbers.

When the password is entered correctly, the first configuration screen is displayed (Figure 113.). The configured values are effective immediately.

Ventilator and Gas SupplyFigure 120. Ventilator and Gas Supply Standby

Configuration ScreenThe following settings can be selected in the Ventilator and Gas Supply Standby configuration screen (refer to Figure 120.).

Parameter Default Values

This setting allows the user to set default ventilation parameters for volume, pressure, and optional pressure support modes.

To configure default ventilation parameters:

1. Using the confirm knob, select and confirm the desired ventilation mode. The ventilation parameter soft keys for the mode will become activated (see Figure 121).

Figure 121. Ventilation Parameter Soft Keys Activated2. Using the confirm knob, set the parameters (see “Setting/Selecting Ventilation Parameters” on page 34).

If the trigger has been pre-set to OFF in volume mode or pressure mode, the value configured under pressure support will automatically be adopted when synchronization is activated during operation. The same also applies with regard to adopting the value for ∆PPS, although this cannot be configured in the volume mode and pressure mode.

Gas Supply Checks

The settings selected in this screen determine which gas supplies will be checked during the self test and normal operation (Yes or No).

Body Weight Related Ventilator Settings

This setting determines whether VT and Freq presettings are to be based on patient weight.

1. Using the confirm knob, select and confirm “Yes” or “No”.

If “Yes” is selected, a table appears with predetermined weight classes and Vt and Freq settings (1 in Figure 122).

WARNING !Either pipeline O2 or cylinder O2 (or both) must be selected.

2. Using the rotary knob, select and confirm the desired VT in accordance with the table below.

For weights between the four predetermined classes, the settings for VT and Freq are interpolated.

Figure 122 . Weight Related Ventilator Settings• To restore the factory default settings, select and confirm “Restore factory default presets” (2 in Figure 122) using the rotary knob.

Ventilator Default Settings

- PINSP adjusts with PEEP: (Yes or No)

If this setting is set to “Yes”, the inspiratory pressure (PINSP) will be automatically changed when the PEEP value is changed in pressure-controlled ventilation mode, so that the difference between PINSP and PEEP remains constant.

If this setting is set to “No”, PINSP will be unaffected by changes in the PEEP value.

- TINSP changes with freq. if synchronization is off: (Yes or No)

If this setting is set to “Yes”, the inspiratory time (TINSP) will be automatically changed when the frequency (Freq) is changed in volume-controlled or pressure-controlled ventilation modes (without synchronization), so that the resultant ratio of inspiration to expiration (I:E) remains constant.

If this setting is set to “No”, TINSP will be independent of the change in frequency, and the I:E ratio will change accordingly.

- PAW low alarm limit adjusts with PEEP: (Yes or No)

If this setting is set to “Yes”, the low alarm limit for airway pressure (PAW) will be automatically changed when the PEEP value is changed.

If this setting is set to “No”, the low alarm limit for airway pressure (PAW) will be unaffected by changes in the PEEP value.

In the Pressure Mode, the PAW low alarm limit will not exceed the PINSP - 2. This is also true for changes to PINSP.

In the Pressure Support Mode, PEEP + ∆PPS - 2 will not be exceeded. This is also true for changes to ∆PPS.

Cleaning and Disinfection GuidelinesThese instructions apply to anesthesia machines after use with patients. Governmental regulations must also be observed in those cases where patients have notifiable diseases.

Material properties have been taken into account in the specified cleaning/disinfection instructions. Correct functioning of the anesthesia machine is not impaired by the recommended measures. They can be incorporated into the hospital's own hygiene schedules.

Follow the institution’s policies regarding specific methods and agents for cleaning and sterilization, subject to the criteria listed below. Determination of the need and frequency of sterilization of any particular component is the responsibility of the institution. Sterilization procedures should be performed according to procedures established by the institution, following the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the sterilizing equipment or agent to be used. Such policies, procedures, and instructions should ultimately be consistent with established principles of clinical microbiology and infection control.

Proper Cleaning/Disinfection SequenceIf equipment parts are to be cleaned by hand, they must always be disinfected first for personal protection.

When equipment parts are to be cleaned and disinfected by machine, they should always be cleaned first and then disinfected.

Cleaning/Disinfection Objective and MethodsThe purpose of the described cleaning/disinfection measures is to provide each patient with a reliably disinfected anesthetic machine, i.e., a machine free from all unhealthy micro-organisms. Sterility is required only for the intubation tube and bronchial aspiration catheter.

The following disinfection methods may be used:

• Disinfection by wiping the surface of the device (see “Choice of disinfectant” on page 175)

Apollo Operator’s Manual 173

Chapter 11 - Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines

Part N

umber: 90 38 237, 6th edition

• Mechanical cleaning with high-temperature disinfection (≥93oC (199oF) , ≥10 min). This is the preferred method for many Apollo components; a suitable cleaning agent must be added.

• Manual disinfection in a bath. Extensive personal protection is required due to inhalation of vapors.

Equipment parts should be cleaned and disinfected by machine for hygienic conditioning purposes (EN ISO 15883, in preparation).

Complex, thermally stable functional components, such as the breathing system, can be easily cleaned and disinfected by machine, but are not always dried sufficiently. Subsequent vacuum disinfection in hot steam or steam sterilization is recommended to dry off the remaining water.

• Vacuum disinfection in hot steam at 75oC (167oF) for 20 minutes or 105oC (221oF) for 1 minute, for example.

• Steam sterilization, for example at 121oC (250oF) for max. 20 minutes or 134oC (273oF) for max. 8 minutes. Higher temperatures may impair the service life of the functional components.

High-temperature disinfection does not have any cleaning effect. Such methods should therefore only be used on functional components which have already been cleaned by hand or by machine.

Machines, associated components, and equipment parts must be inspected visually and packaged for storage or transport. Simple packaging with corresponding labelling is sufficient for this purpose. This is not necessary if the components and equipment parts are not to be stored and/or transported.

WARNING !Remove any monitoring equipment mounted on the machine before transport. The writing table should also be free of all objects and folded down completely. If these precautions are not followed, the device may tip over and pose a risk to safety.

CAUTION ! When moving or folding down the writing table, keep hands clear of edges to avoid pinching.

Disinfecting/Cleaning/Sterilizing Choice of disinfectant

Only products from the list of surface disinfectants may be used for disinfection. To ensure material compatibility, products based on the following agents may be used:

• Aldehydes• Quaternary ammonium compounds

All users are advised to use these agents.

Note: Testing was performed with Incidin Extra N and Incidur (wiping), and Gigasept FF and Korsolex Extra (disinfection by immersion).

The following products are not suitable and should not be used:

• Compounds containing phenols• Halogen-releasing compounds• Strong organic acids• Oxygen-releasing compounds

In addition to the main agents, disinfectants frequently also contain additives which may damage the materials used. The supplier/manufacturer of the cleaning agent/disinfectant should be contacted if there is any doubt as to the suitability of a product.

SurfacesSurfaces of Apollo, compressed gas hoses, and cables:

• Wipe off impurities with a damp disposable cloth.

• Disinfect with a wipe disinfectant. (Note the manufacturer's Instructions for Use.)

CAUTION ! Do not allow any liquids to enter openings in the device.

CAUTION ! Surfaces must not be treated with agents containing alcohol.

Breathing system, absorber, and scavenger

• All parts of the breathing system, including ventilator diaphragm, Y-piece, breathing hoses, breathing bag (but not including the Spirolog flow sensors)

• parts of the absorber• parts of the AGS scavenging systemThese parts can be thermally disinfected in an automatic cleaning and disinfecting machine at 93 °C (199 °F) for 10 minutes. Only neutral cleaning agents and fully demineralized water may be used. Chemical disinfectants need not be added for thermal disinfection; they may cause corrosion.

Spirolog flow sensors

• Disinfect approx. 1 hour in 70% ethanol or isopropanol solution. Leave the sensor to dry in air for at least 30 minutes, otherwise the sensor may be damaged by remaining alcohol when calibrated.

• The flow sensor can be reused as long as it can be calibrated successfully.

• Do not clean the Spirolog flow sensor in a cleaning and disinfection machine or with compressed air, water jets, brushes, etc. These methods would damage the thin sensor wires inside.

SpiroLife flow sensors

• Disinfect approx. 1 hour in 70% ethanol or isopropanol solution. Leave the sensor to dry in air for at least 30 minutes, otherwise the sensor may be damaged by remaining alcohol when calibrated.

• The SpiroLife flow sensor may be sterilized at 134oC (273oF) in hot steam.

CAUTION ! The breathing system valve plate must be sterilized after washing in order to dry it. Correct operation of the machine may be impaired and lead to failure if the control areas in the valve plate are not dried completely.

CAUTION ! The Spirolog flow sensor cannot be sterilized.

OverviewThis section discusses several types of failure that may occur on the Apollo and provides courses of action following the failure. An alphabetical list of all Apollo alarms and their causes and remedies is provided on page 197.

Note: If the remedies suggested in this section do not resolve a fault that may impair the proper functioning of the Apollo, use another device.

Figure 158. Power Fail Alarm MessagePower FailureIn the event of power failure the Apollo automatically switches to the built-in uninterruptible power supply (battery backup).

Provided that the battery is fully charged, operation will be continued for at least 30 minutes (up to 90 minutes, depending on the ventilation parameters).

The message “POWER FAIL” is displayed in the status field on the screen (1 in Figure 158), together with the remaining battery capacity in percent (2 in Figure 158).

If the battery is almost depleted, the message “BATTERY LOW” will be displayed.

Apollo permits manual ventilation with 100% O2 in the event of a power failure and depleted battery. The fresh gas measurements, ventilator, and monitoring are inactive.

In case of power failure:

• Close N2O and air flow valves• Check vaporizer setting• Set O2 flow to the desired level using the total

flow meter• Ventilate the patient manuallyNote: Refer to the total flow meter for approximate

flow (see the Specifications section of the manual for accuracy).

Gas FailureFigure 159. NO O2 SUPPLY Alarm MessageIf the gas supply fails, the Apollo displays a message

in the status field at the top of the screen, corresponding to the failed gas: “NO AIR SUPPLY”, “NO N2O SUPPLY”, or “NO O2 SUPPLY” (see Figure 159).

• Open the valve on the corresponding backup cylinder at the back of the machine (see Figure 160)

• Restore the central pipeline gas supply

If there is no cylinder backup supply for the failed gas, the corresponding LED on the front panel of the machine will flash red.

In case of N2O or air failure, 100% O2 should be delivered; be sure to set the O2 to an appropriate flow.

In case of O2 failure, the SORC prevents hypoxic gas mixtures. Oxygen must be restored immediately.

Figure 160. Cylinder LocationsIf there is no cylinder backup supply for the failed gas, operation of the ventilator is still possible in automatic ventilation modes as the electrically driven piston ventilator does not need drive gas for operation. Disconnecting the breathing bag from the breathing bag arm enables the entrainment of ambient air, thus substituting the failed fresh gas.

• Disconnect breathing bag from breathing bag arm

• Continue ventilation using an automatic ventilation mode

.

WARNING !In the event of a prolonged pipeline supply failure, the pipeline supply hose must be disconnected from the wall supply; otherwise the central gas supply may become contaminated.

WARNING !Close the backup gas cylinders during operation unless they are necessary. If the backup cylinders are left open while operating with the central gas supply, gas may be taken from the cylinders.
