3.10 Interface to Ventilator
3.10.1 Interface functions
The absorber s desgned to nterface wth the anaesthesa
system ventlator control unt (1)
Note also that the ventlator bellows unt (2) s bult nto the
absorber
A cable lnks the multfuncton connector (3) on the nterface
unt at the rear of the absorber to the connector (4) on the
ventlator control unt
Ths provdes an nterface between the ventlator and (a) the
sprometer flow sensors, and (b) a sensor that detects the

2 Operaton of the bag/ventlator control wll trgger
automatc Mode swtchng on the ventlator, as follows
a) Ventlator n Volume mode or Pressure mode
Swtchng the absorber bag/ventlator control from
ventlator to bag
The ventlator wll change from Volume Mode, or
Pressure Mode, to Spontaneous Mode
b) Ventlator n Spontaneous Mode
Swtchng the absorber bag/ventlator control from
Bag to Ventlator
NOTE
The mode swtchng operaton s dependant on the
orgnal selecton process used by the clncan to
reach Spontaneous Mode
 If the ventlator was prevously n Volume Mode,
or Pressure Mode, and Spontaneous Mode was
automatcally selected by the operaton of the
bag/ventlator control (from ventlator to bag, as
descrbed above)
- the ventlator wll now revert to that prevous
mode
 If the ventlator was n Standby Mode, and
Spontaneous Mode was selected on-screen
- the ventlator wll revert to Volume Mode
NOTE
a) operaton of the absorber bag/ventlator control wll
have no effect on the ventlator unless the above
condtons are met
b) Ths functon can be enabled/dsabled through the
