Introduction
The Anestar Anesthesia Delivery System represents a flexible anesthesia workplace for
implementing and monitoring inhalation anesthesia in the semi-closed system and the
closed circuit system for low-flow techniques with minimum gas and anaesthetic agent
utilization.
A. Electronic ventilator
The micro processor-controlled ventilator allows constant-volume ventilation for all
patient groups with a body weight of 4 kg and upwards. Due to the system compliance
compensation, even small tidal volumes can be precisely administered. The ventilation
type, CMV and PCV mode, as well as others various forms of artificial ventilation,
facilitate secure ventilation, even for complicated lung conditions. The clear design of the
user interface and the display allow the secure operation and quick detection of the
selected ventilation parameters.
B. Patient Module
The circular patient absorber system is integrated into an aluminum block. The block is
heated to prevent the formation of condensation. The block also contains an emergency air
valve, a fresh gas reservoir in the form of a hand-held anesthesia bag, and an expiratory
flow sensor. All sensors are automatically calibrated during the start-up of the machine
and continuously monitored during operation.
The correct functioning of the Anestar Anesthesia Delivery System can only be
guaranteed if the machine is operated and serviced in accordance with the information
provided by the manufacturer. The non-compliance with this information voids all
guarantee claims against Datascope Corp.
The machine must only be operated by qualified and trained Datascope personnel. All
operators must fully observe these Operating Instructions or relevant additional
documentation and information provided by the manufacturer. They must also comply
with the Warnings and Precautions detailed in this manual and must be trained by a
Datascope representative.
Time- The timely sequence of inspiration and expiration has been specified
controlled by the ventilation frequency settings. The ratio of the inspiration to the
expiration time of the individual ventilation cycle is determined by the
adjustable I:E ratio.
Pressure The tidal volume during a controlled ventilation is supplied during the
limitation entire period of the inspiratory flow and can be set as a ventilation
parameter. The inspiration phase can be terminated before the tidal
volume has been delivered if the measured airway pressure reaches
the set peak pressure alarm limit.
Constant The inspiratory flow to the patient required, according to the set
volume parameters of frequency, tidal volume, and ventilation time ratio, is
automatically calculated by the ventilator. This inspiratory flow is
generated via the drive gas for the patient module. In standard
anesthesia ventilators, deviations to the tidal volume actually supplied
to the patient can occur due to the respective fresh gas setting and
system compliance of the ventilation system. The ventilator of the
Anestar machine has in each setting a constant volume. The patient
module containing the bellows is decoupled from the fresh gas, and
the system compliance of the patient module is automatically taken
into consideration by the ventilator when generating the tidal volume.
During the fresh gas decoupling in the controlled ventilation modes, the fresh gas flow is
directed into the manual ventilation bag. The manual ventilation bag serves as a fresh gas
reservoir. This principle offers the following advantages for controlled ventilation:
1. The tidal volume is completely independent from the set fresh gas flow. The ventila-
tion is therefore also referred to as constant volume ventilation.
2. The fresh gas flow can be maintained at a very low level, i.e. below
500 ml/min, depending on the patient. The manual ventilation bag serves as a reservoir
for the fresh gas administered during the inspiration. The entire fresh gas volume is
available during the next inspiration, i.e., not only the fresh gas stored in the reservoir
but also the fresh gas supplied during the expiration period.
During controlled ventilation, the set tidal volume is administered irrespective of the
pulmonary circumstances. The ventilator drive represents, in principle, a constant flow
generator. The inspiratory flow of the ventilation gas is automatically adapted to the
respective settings of the tidal volume, the ventilation frequency rate, and the ventilation
time ratio.
The administered tidal volume is corrected to the set value, set by the user, with the aid of
compliance compensation. The system compliance of each ventilation system, i.e., the
compliance of patient hoses and the breathing circuit, always leads to losses in the
administered tidal volume. The Anestar system’s automatic compensation of the system
compliance can correct this volume loss with the aid of a control loop. For this purpose,
several ventilation cycles are required with the drive gas flow being slightly increased
above the normal values, i.e., the values for achieving the set ventilation volume. The
correct tidal volume is administered to the patient, while the slightly higher volume is
absorbed by the system compliance due to the effective compliance compensation.
The bag-in-bottle system is part of the breathing circuit system. The gas-conducting
sections are divided from the ventilator into a primary (ventilator) and a secondary circuit
(patient). The gas volume provided by the drive is not directly administered to the patient
but instead compresses a bellows inside a pressure dome. As a result, the ventilation gas
contained in the bellows is administered to the patient. An increased drive volume,
flowing into the pressure dome, also increases the tidal volume. Once the drive-gas flow
has finished, the pressure compensation between the primary and secondary circuit is
ended. A distinctive plateau in the ventilation pressure curve is produced if the system
does not switch over to the expiration directly after the end of the inspiratory gas flow. For
this purpose, the drive volume contained in the pressure dome is maintained at a steady
level for some time. The bellows is suitable for adults and pediatrics.
The setting of the O2/AIR or O2/N2O is selected with the changeover switch which opens
the respective gas line to the measuring tube block.
The fresh gas cannot be set with a mixture of Air and N2O where the oxygen is below
21%. The decrease of the oxygen content to below 21% is prevented by a pneumatic
safety system. This Ratio system ensures the continuous existence of a minimum O2
content of 25% in the dosed gas mixed with N2O. In case of an increase of the N2O flow,
the required O2 flow is also automatically increased. The fresh gas, appropriately
proportioned, is fed over a vaporizer, where it is mixed with an anesthetic agent.
2.3 Vaporizer
For this purpose, the ratio of the flows of the carrier gas is adjusted by a bypass channel
and the vaporizer channel in such a way, that the chosen concentration is achieved at the
vaporizer outlet. When the vaporizer is in the zero position, the bypass channel remains
open while the vaporizer channel remains completely closed off to the flow of gas.
Although the anesthetic agent vapor concentration of the vaporizer chamber is saturated,
the absolute anesthetic agent content depends on the temperature. Consequently, the
bypass channel contains a temperature compensation valve. In case of changes in the
vapor pressure caused by temperature fluctuations, the valve changes the set dilution ratio
in such a way that the anesthetic agent concentration delivered is not affected by the
temperature.
For further information see the instructions of the respective anesthetic agent vaporizer.
The circuit absorber system consists of a ventilation system with CO2 absorber. This
system allows anesthesia to be carried out at very low fresh gas settings. The ventilation
gas contains various parts of re-breathing gas, i.e., expiratory gas scrubbed free of CO2.
This is achieved with a circuit ventilation system, facilitating a re-breathing of the
formerly expiratory CO2-containing gas. A circuit system with high re-breathing contents
causes a reduction of the consumption of anesthetic agents. This system offers improved
breathing gas conditioning. The Patient Module is designed as a circuit absorber system in
the form of a compact aluminum manifold. The hose connections normally required
between the ventilator and the circuit system are thus no longer needed.
The absorber removes CO2 from expired air. The absorption process is a chemical reaction
in which carbon dioxide is bound, most of the reaction water evaporates, and the resulting
calcium is removed. Consequently the spent soda lime is dry and hard. Soda lime must be
hermetically sealed and stored in a cool and dry place in order not to lose its absorbency.
The reservoir and the manual ventilation bag provide an inspiratory interim store for fresh
gas. The reservoir pressure during machine and spontaneous breathing is limited to 1-2 cm
H2O. During manual breathing, the APL valve allows the manual adjustment of the
desired ventilation pressure.
Volume measurement is carried out by using a flow meter, that operates according to the
hot-wire anemometer principle, to measure the flow in the expiration branch. The
ventilator processors integrate this measured value with the displayed tidal and ventilation
minute volume. The tidal volume shown in the display is a measured value. The tidal
volume displayed during controlled ventilation is measured by an internal flow sensor and
is not dependent on the expiratory volume measurement.
The oxygen is measured by a galvanic cell attached to the inspiration valve dome. This O2
cell, also referred to as a fuel cell, offers a longer life compared to other oxygen cells and
is less sensitive to anesthetic gases.
The heating of the Patient Module prevents the formation of condensation within the
Patient Module and on the valve caps of the inspiration and expiration valves. The heating
positively contributes to ventilation gas conditioning. The Heating Mat functions as a
sealing mat and is installed between the top and bottom section of the Patient Module. An
electronic control integrated in the ventilator keeps the temperature of the Patient Module
constant at 36°C. An over-temperature protection circuit protects the Patient Module
against overheating.
The ventilation mode rotary knob allows the operator to switch between manual and
automatic ventilation modes for both adults and children. CMV and PCV modes are
available via the VENT MODE touch-key. The system is protected by automatically
identifying possible miscues in knob rotation.

The machine housing can easily be cleaned with a cloth slightly moistened with a liquid
cleaning agent. To avoid abrasion, the cloth must be soft and moist. If additional cleaning
is required, use a surface disinfecting agent.
The Patient Module can be autoclaved at a temperature of up to 134 °C. Before sterilizing,
the bag-in-bottle system and the absorber must be removed.
The transportation protection should be installed at the rear of the Patient Module after
removal from the machine.
The absorber canister can be autoclaved up to 134 °C. In order to enhance the life of
sealing materials, a temperature of 121 °C is preferred.
The upper part of the airway pressure valve (APL) should be dismantled before
autoclaving. Autoclave the APL upper part and the membrane as separated parts.
