5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Side-Mount
The LAVC-2000 Side Mount was designed for when two vaporizers are used, or when an optional breathing bag is desired.
This created the LAVC-2000-D Series.
When the absorber assembly is moved to allow additional mounting of vaporizers, several changes take place. The LAVC-
2000-D gives the user the ability to operate the machine as a passive machine or a complete anesthesia ventilator.
The addition of a third directional valve enables you to choose between assisted or controlled ventilation and passive
breathing through the anesthesia bag.
5.2 Set Up for Anesthesia Delivery Not Using the Ventilator
The short hose attached to the top of the bellows should be removed and the hose should be attached to the back of the
valve located to the left side of the absorber canister. The short hose will then run from the bottom of the absorber canister
to the back of the sidemount valve. The breathing hoses are then attached at the valve located on top of the absorber and to
the sidemount valve located on top of the bag assembly. When the hoses are in this set up this renders the ventilator out of
the circuit and all gas will move through the bag and the absorber only, converting the machine to a passive setup. In this
confi guration you will use the manual pop-off valve located on the top of the absorber. Remember to OPEN the pop-off valve
when using this confi guration.
5.3 Set up for Anesthesia Delivery Using the Ventilator
The short hose attached to the bottom of the absorber should be attached to the back of the valve on top of the bellows
canister. The short hose will then run from the bottom of the absorber canister to the top of the bellows canister. The
breathing hoses are attached to the valve located on the top of the absorber and to the front side of the valve located on top
of bellows canister. When the hoses are in this set up the bag assembly is eliminated from the circuit. When using the Servo
ventilator, the pop-off valve on top of the absorber canister must be CLOSED. If it is not closed there will be a leak in the
system and the desired ventilator pressure will not be achieved.
5.4 Bag Selection
The LAVC-2000-D is provided with a 15-liter anesthesia bag and a 30-liter anesthesia bag. An adapter for using smaller bags
is also provided. The standard fi tting on the anesthesia machine will allow you to use the 15-liter or 30-liter breathing bag.
5.5 Bottom Plate Valve
Located in the center of the bottom plate of the anesthesia machine you will fi nd a brass colored valve with a small stainless-
steel valve-stem pointed upright. This valve is the sensing valve that is activated by the bellows assembly descending in the
chamber and actuating the valve releasing the line pressure which in turn opens the exhalation valve on the top of the
bellows.
Note: It is important to periodically check this valve, making sure that the valve is not bent. After continued use the valve may
tend to lean to one side and could malfunction. Check this valve and if it is not centered and straight, simply replace with the
spare valves shipped with your machine. A tool is provided for easy removal and replacement. Make sure the valve is tight and
do not use any other valve except the valves that are supplied by EICKEMEYER® as they are designed for this application only.
Your new machine includes three additional valves and a valve removal tool. To reorder these valves please call EICKEMEYER®
or email us (contact information on the back).
