Q & A cont.
Q. Why doesn’t the ADS 2000 use a Lime Canister or Breathing Bag?
A. Since the ADS 2000 is a Positive Pressure Ventilator it only allows the oxygen
and or anesthetic to flow during the inspiration phase of the respiratory cycle i.e. only
for the inspiratory time. Since the ADS 2000 fills up the lungs for each breath there is
no need for a breathing bag. The ADS 2000 does not recycle the exhaled gas; it
delivers the waste gas to the scavenger system.
Q. What happens if the electronic safety fails?
A. To prevent the over-inflation of the lungs, the ADS 2000 incorporates both an
electronic and mechanical safety mechanism (pop-off).
Q. Does the Gas Sampling System need to be connected for the unit to work
properly?
A. Yes, the Gas Sampling System must be connected for the unit to work properly.
Q. How often does my ADS need to be sent back to the manufacturer for
service?
A. We recommend sending your ADS with the supplied Hoses and Power
Supply (plug) in for servicing every two years.
Service includes:
Checking the power adapter and socket.
Check the battery for voltage retention and leaks.
Check / replace the pinch valve hose.
Check ports for proper fit, debris and cleaning.
Check operation of all switches.
Check operation and calibration of the pressure sensor.
Check oxygen manifold for leaks, proper flow and calibration.
Check pop off for leaks and calibration.
Check hose integrity
Provide software upgrade if available.
It is also highly recommended that you send your vaporizer to an authorized
center at least once a year for calibration and certification as per the vaporizer
manufacturer's recommendations.
