The AION 03-type AG module can identify two anesthetic agents automatically. When the
proportion of the primary and secondary anesthetic agents in the mixture changes and the
secondary anesthetic agent becomes dominant, the primary and seconday anesthetic agents
will be exchanged for display and a physiological alarm may be triggered.
17.7 Measurement Limitations
The following factors may influence the accuracy of measurement:
îš„ Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas
îš„ Mechanical shock
îš„ Cyclic pressure up to 10 kPa (100 cmH
2
O)
îš„ Other sources of interference, if any
17.8 Troubleshooting
17.8.1 When the Gas Inlet is Blocked
If the gas inlet (including watertrap, sampling line and airway adapter) is occluded by
condensed water, the message [AG Airway Occluded] will appear.
To remove the occlusion:
îš„ Check the airway adapter for an occlusion and replace if necessary.
îš„ Check the sampling line for an occlusion or kinking and replace if necessary.
îš„ Check the watertrap for a build up of water. Empty the watertrap. If the problem persists,
replace the watertrap.
17.8.2 When an Internal Occlusion Occurs
Condensed water may enter the module and cause contamination and/or internal occlusions.
In this case, the message [AG Airway Occluded] will be displayed.
To remove the occlusion:
îš„ Check for any occlusion in the gas inlet and/or outlet system.
îš„ If the problem persists, internal occlusions may exist. Contact your service personnel.
