GMS 125 Monitor
‘The GMS 125 monitor has now been in use since 1991. We now have a reasonable supply of
data to make some assessment on performance so far. B. Tyers has written a review of some of
‘the most common faults based upon data obtained in the repair of monitors that have been
returned to Tulla. Please see attached.
Please note that battery life is rated to last 36 mionths in the GEM 9100, You should be replacing
batteries now. The P.M. procedure as detailed in the service manual calls for a 3 yearly
replacement,
Failures of any product is an undesirable, much less in an Anaesthetic machine, It would seem
‘that most of the bugs in earlier monitors have now been addressed through upgrades as detailed
in the attached report. Consequently the failure rate under warranty should now start to fall,
Further, clarification by B. Tyers on the operation ofthe Monitor should also assist in reducing
units being returned to Tulla under the premise that they are faulty when indeed they are good
units
- Should units fail in the field and the cause may not be clear then please call myself or B, Tyers,
‘ ‘we may be able to assist in the diagnosis and thus improve the "Strike Rate” of only faulty units
being returned to Tulla,
‘Should you need further information or clarification please do not hesitate to call me

The recommended battery is the Yuasa NP7-12, but any equivalent sealed-electrotyte,

Conservatively, about 25% of the GMS monitors retumed for repair are found to be
operating correctly. ‘The followving functional description should enable vou to perform
sufficient testing on a suspect monitor before condemning i
‘Yo perform the testing you will need Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide gas supplies and
preferably Air as well; also a voltmeter to check the battery voltage, ‘The battery is
located underneath the working surface which will have fo be removed to gain access,
Theory OF Operation
The monitor uses an ultrasonic technique to measure the velocity of sound in a
chamber through which passes the gas mixture exiting from the top of the rotameter
block. Every 0.3 second an ultrasonic pulse is wansmited by a transducer mounted at
the top of the chamber; the time it takes the pulse to be returned to the same
transducer as an echo from the bottom plate is a measure of sound velocity. The
Volume of the chamber is about 0.6 litre, and it will therefore take a short time for a
cchange in mixture to be registered as at least 0.6 litre of the new misture is needed to
replace the old. For example, at a (otal flow of 2 Ipm, you have to allow at feast 18
seconds for the reading to settle. The response time also depends on the magnitude of
the change and the degree of mixing of the old mixture with the new. As a general
guide, alow at least 3 times the theoretical replacement time; in the above example
allow about 60 seconds,
There may he some comments about the slow response to a change in gas percentages.
1 should be pointed out, though. that the reading, will always accurately relfect the gas
mixture in the sample chamber which is downstream of the rotameter block and is,
therefore, closer to the patient
The technique is only suitable for determining the percentage of a known gas in a
mixture with one other known gas. In our case we have elected to calibrate theinstrument for Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide, or Oxygen and Medical Air. "The method is,
robust, inherently accurate and drift tree: itis not expected that there will be any need
for routine calibration (and this has been borne cut by cur experience fo date). ‘The
‘only (2 reported) instancvs we have had of incorruct readings have boon duo to Water
‘vapour in the (supposediy dry) Medical Air supply which eave a reading error of
several percent, The instrument is fully compensated for changes in temperature.
Wthere iy Airin the chamber when the aneniter is frst tuned on, there will be no
display and an alarm because the system is looking tor Nitrous Oxide and finding a
‘velocity which is outside the expected range. Similarly, ifthe Air mode is selected
when there is a Nitrous Oxide mixture in the chamber there will be a ‘no echo! (HE3)
farm and a blanked display,
When in the Nitrous Oxide mode, the Low Oxygen Alarm triggers at 23% exactly and
does mot reset until the reading rises to 26%, ‘There is an Audible alarm for the Low
Oxygen condition but there is no change of state of the Nitrous Oxide Solenoid. Five
seconds after the reading falls 0 18%, or lower, the Nitrous Oxide solenoid releases,
nd the supply of Nitrous Oxide to the patient is shut off. If there is Oxygen flow the
percentage of Oxygen will increase; 15 seconds afier the reading reaches 19%, or
above, the Nitrous Oxide solenoid will reactivate and Nitrous Oxide will again be
available to the patient circuit. Note the time delays involved in the operation of the
solenoid. Depending on the flow rate, the percentage reading shown on the display
when the solenoid operates may he quite different to the 18/19% trigger points
‘When the GEM machine is not in use it should always be left connected to the mains
supply so thatthe battery is kept charged, I the mains isnot connected there wil he a
ffashing red ight on the front panel. (A well charged battery will operate the Mains Cnr
light for over a month.)
With the monitor switched OFF and the mains connected the battery terminal vollage
should be about 13.8 volt. With the monitor ON this will drop to about 13.5 volt.
Every 4 minutes the monitor tums off its intemal battery charger for 4 seconds, caving,
the montior fo operate solelv from the battery so that the battery condition can be
assessed. During this time a good battery will drop to about 12.6 voll. The low battery
alarm triuger point is set to between 42.0 volt and 12,2 yolt. Normally a deteriorating
battery which has just filed this test will stil power the monitor, without
assistance, tor about 30 minutes.
‘There have been a couple of reports of odd readings ovcurring when the system has,
been suhjected to extremely rapid changes in flow rate, An extremely sudden change in
pressure will temporarily upsct the ultrasonic transducer and there is nothing we can do
about that. It oniy takes a couple ot seconds to stabilise. however. and the transducer
suffers no permanent damage.
Calibration and alarms tests
Select Nitrous Oxide: on the Rotameter bank get 2 ipm Oxygen and 2 Ipm Nitrous;
after stabilising the readout should be 50%, Reduce the Osygen flow to 1 Ipm- the
readout should now go to 339%, ‘On Nitrous Oxide the acceplable tolerance is +/= 2%
(of full scale).Drop the Oxygen flow fo 0.5 Ipm,; as the wading eomes down to 20% the Low Oxygen
alarm should come on at 23%. Reduce the Oxygen flow further to 0.4 Jpn; as the
reading falls the Nitrous solenoid should release $ seconds after the reading reaches
189% the Nitrous baclight should go off, Now increase the Oxygen How back to 1
yuu and observe that a) the Low Oxygen alarm goss out whon the reading reachee 26%
and b) the Nitrous supply is restored 15 seconds after the reading reaches 19%.
Selcot Air; with 2 Ipm Oxygen and 2 Ipm Air the reading should stabilise to 60%. On
the acceptable tolerance is =/- 3%.

2.5 Precautions
‘There are a number of precautions which must be observed when either setting up,
operating, maintaining or servicing the equipment described in this manual. These
precautions are designated either as a Warning which indicates a potentially life
threatening situation, or as a Cuution which indicates a condition which can lead to
equipment damage or malfunction.
‘The following Warnings and Cautions are used in various places throughout this manual to
alert the reader to the possibility that potentially hazardous and/or damaging conditions can
occur if the precautions are not observed:
2.6 Cautions
Avoid using excessive torque when closing flow control valves otherwise a leaking
valve can result.
‘The ON/OFF switch must be turned OFF when the anaesthesia system is not in use in
order to minimise the possibility of depleting the oxygen supply.
Do not exceed the maximum load of 22 Kg specified for the top shelf or 11 kg
specified for the mid shelf. An excessive load can damage the system.
Do not use wrenches on the cylinder yoke tee handl
damage the threads.
ising excessive force can
Always use a yoke plug and cylinder gasket to seal an unused yoke. Yoke check
valves alone may not provide a leak-free seal
Use only one bodok seal per yoke. If more than one seul is used it can cause a leakage
of cylinder gas.
Open cylinder valves slowly to minimise the possibility of causing any damage to the
associated pressure regulators or gauges.
Normal patient flows can be tured ON or OFF by means of the ON/OFF switch, but
the flowmeter unit can be damaged by the sudden onset of gas if the ON/OFF switch
4s tuned ON with a flow control valve set fully counterclockwise.
Ensure that all gas flow control valves are turned fully clockwise to their minimum
flow stops before the system ON/OFF switch is turned ON. The flowmeter unit can be
damaged by a sudden surge of gas whon the system ON/OFF switch is turned ON.

GEM™9100 Service Manual
In the event of sterilising rubber components with ethylene oxide they must he
quarantined in a well-ventilated area to allow dissipation of residual ethylene oxide
gas absorbed by the rubber. In some cases aeration periods of seven days or more
may be required. Aeration time can be decreased when special aeration devices are
used. Follow the steriliser manufacturer's recommendations for specific aeration
pertoas required,
‘The oxygen flow control valve incorporates a left-hand thread and must be turned
clockwise in order to remove it.
2.7 Warnings
Only personnel trained by CIG Health Care should attempt to repair and/or service a
GEM™9100 Series Anaesthesia System and it must be repaired and/or serviced only
in accordance with written instructions provided by CIG Health Care. Failure to
follow the written instructions provided can result in patient injury.
‘The GEM™9100 Series Anaesthesia System is restricted to use with non-flammable
anaesthetic agents in order to minimise the possibility of an explosion.
Never oil or grease any anaesthesia or oxygen equipment unless the lubricant used is,
made and approved for this type of service. In general, oils and greases oxidise
readily and, in the presence of oxygen, they burn violently. Either Fomblin UT 18 or
Vac Kote’ is the oxygen service lubricant recommended for use.
Do not connect the scavenging valve(s) directly to a vacuum source. The vacuum may
removed required gases from the patient circuit. Any time that nitrous oxide is used
must be properly scavenged to minimise pollution.
Do not leave any gas reserve cylinders open if the pipeline supply is in use and the
system ON/OFF switch is turned to ON. Pressures from both supplies may become
equal and, if simultaneously used, cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an
insufficient reserve supply in case of pipeline failure.
Unqualified personnel must not undertake or attempt the following procedures. An
improper repair or service can result in patient injury.
Before disconnecting any gas supply tube or electrical lead ensure that It
incorporates an identification sleeve and, if necessary, fit an additional temporary
identification to facilitate correct reconnection. Remove the temporary identification
when the reconnection is completed. Failing to reconnect a supply tube or an
electrical connection correctly can cause an incorrect gas delivery and possibly
patient injury.

2.18 Connecting Medical Gas Supplies
A General
All gas supply connectors are colour coded and labelled. Each high pressure hose is fitted
with a non interchangeable quick connect probe or gas specific sleeve indexed safety
system screw-on handwheel. These features comply with Australian Standard AS.2896
(1986) and are designed to minimise the possibility of connecting an incorrect pipeline gas
supply.
It is recommended that cylinders are turned OFF when the anaesthesia system is not in use
or when a hospital pipeline supply is connocted to the gas pneumatic module.
Caution: Always use a yoke plug and Bodok seal on any unused yoke.
BR Cylinder Supplies
Note: Check valves alone may not provide a leak-free seal. A yoke plug will also prevent the
ingress of dust and foreign material.
1. Ensure that the anaesthesia system ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. If fitting a new cylinder, remove the cylinder valve protective seal and then
momentarily open the cylinder valve, thus forcing out any foreign material which may
have entered the cylinder valve outlet.
3. Remove the Bodok seals from their plastic bag and fit to the yoke inlet nipple, taking
care as not to damage them.
Caution: Use only one Bodok seal per yoke. If more than one bodok seal is used, a
leak may occur.
Warning: Ensure that hands are clean and free from any form of
handling bodok seals.
or grease when
4, Unscrew the cylinder yoke tee screw.
5. Position the cylinder valve post into the cylinder yoke block, ensuring that it is fully
‘engaged so that the cylinder valve outlet fully engages the yoke block inlet. Yoke
index pins must also fully engage the corresponding pin index holes on the cylinder
valve post.
6. Secure the cylinder valve in position by screwing the cylinder yoke tee clockwise.
7. Disconnect any gas powered accessory from gas supply outlets on GEM™9100 for the
duration of the test detailed in instruction 8
Note: Only C sized cylinders which can accomodate extemal hand wheels are
recommended. Some cylinders with interyrated handwhwels only may not allow the

2.19 Alarm System Tests
Warning: Do not attempt to use the GEM™9100 to perform a clinical procedure
without first ensuring that the complete system, including all accessory
eauinment. is operating correctly.
Warning: The following test procedures must be performed using the same medical
gas supply outlets/cylinders that will be used during the clinical procedure.
A Preparation
1. Ensure that each flow control valve is set to the fully OFF or closed position (fully
clockwise)
2. With the ON-OFF switch in the OFF condition, check that there is no gas flow to any of
the rotameter tubes, but there is an oxygen supply available at both the Oxygen Flush
Valve, the ventilator outlet and the oxygen gas auxiliary outlet at the front of the
pneumatics module

4.0 Theory of Operation
4.1 Pneumatic
A. Power On
When the Electro-Pneumatic switch is turned ON the Low Oxygen Monitor will run a Power
On Self Test (POST). Once POST has been completed SOL1 and SOL2, will be energised by
the monitor's micto-processor. At the same time power to the Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide
back light lamps will be supplied by the monitor.
At power ON the micro-processor is programmed to default to Oxygen and Nitrous Oxide
gas selection. If Air is selected, the micro-processor will de-energise SOL2, and energise
SOL3. At the same time the Nitrous Oxide lamps will be extinguished and the Air lamps
‘will light indicating that Air has been selected and that a pressure of 220kPa (#20kPa) is
present in the Air pipeline within the machine.
B, Oxygen Failure Alarm
Oxygen is the preferential gas which is maintained to the patient delivery system during
oxygen gas supply failure from the internal reservoir, When either wall or cylinder supply
pressure falls below 220kPa, pressure switch (PS1) will open. This will cause Une micro"
processor in the Low Oxygen Monitor to initiate the following:
1. De-energise solenoid SOL2 (Hence removing N,0 from ROT2).
2. ‘Tuan OFF die power drivers Wo the lamps which provide back lighting to the Nitrous
Oxide rotameter tube,
3. Tum ON the 0, fail indicator and sound the O, failure alarm.
Note: If Air is selected it is not deactivated.
De-energising SOL2 ensures that any N,O up or down stream of the N,O rotameter fine
adjustment valve will be vented to atmosphere resulting in no Nitrous Oxide being
dolivered into the pationt circuit.
When the pressure on the up stream side of the one way valve (V8) falls below that of the
down stream side, VB will shut off. This will ensure that the oxygen left in the oxygen
reserve tank will be used to supply fresh gas into the pationt circuit for approximately 45,
seconds at 1 LPM flowrate,
Regulator REG4 will operate to maintain a pressure 30 in the Oxygen circuit and food
das from the oxygen reservcir tank inta the oxygen ga7Ripply circuit. Under normal
operating conditions, V@ and V7 act together to ensure that gas is fed into the oxygen
reservoir tank from the main oxygen supply. The pressure in the reservoir tank willbe
approximately equal to the gas supply system,GEM"9100 Service Manual
C. Gas Supply System
‘Two sources of supply are available for each gas, which is wall supply and emergency back
up cylinder supply. Under normal conditions gas is selected from the wall outlet which then
passes through a non return valve being either V4, V5, or V6. Gas will then pass through to
Ine appropnate section of the gas pack.
When oxygen is connected from the wall supply V1 will close off and V4 will open allowing
oxygen under 400kPa pressure (from wall supply) to enter the machine's pneumatic circuit.
‘This pressure can be measured at the Oxygen test port. When the emergency oxygen
supply is in use, REG1 will regulate the pressure to 320kPa with V4 closed off and V1 open
allowing oxygen under 320kPa pressure to enter the pneumatic circuit.
D. Oxygen Flush
When the Oxygen flush valve is activated, Oxygen is fed from the outlet of the Oxygen gas
supply system directly to the Fresh Gas Outlet (FGO). Gas will flow for as long as the
button is pressed, a momentary back pressure affect will be experieucud by Uke rotameter’s
dropping and then coming back to their original settings once the Oxygen flush button has
been depressed.
E. Safety Valve (50cm H,0)
‘The safety valve is set to operate at 50cm H,O (Nominal). The valve will start to operate at.
approximately 40cm H,O and will be fully open at 60cm H,O. The override feature allows
the operator to increaso pationt airway pressures as neod be, It ig also used when the
Patient circuit is flushed with oxygen.
F. Selectatec* Vaporiser Manifold
Mixed gas from the rotameter bank is passed through the Selectatec® manifold. The gas
will then pass through the appropriate vaporiser at patient airway pressure picking up the
desired anaesthetic agent at the concentration indicated on the dial setting. The gas will
then pass to the FGO and inta the patient circuit.
G. Low Oxygen Monitor (GMS125)
‘The GMS125 is housed in a separate module. It contains a eonzor tube, a printed circuit,
board, a front panel assembly and a mains transformer.
One end of the sensor tube houses an ultrasonic transducer. This periodically transmits a
short burst of pulses into the tube, then reverts to a receiver to detect the echo returning
after reflection from the opposite end. The transmit time is an accurate indication of the
velocity of sound in the gas mixture in the tube.
The velocity of sound varies with the molecular density of a gas and can thus be used to
determine the percentage of Oxygen in a mixture with one other (known) gas.
Page 20 ~Iss/Rev A/0~ © Copyright 1993,GEM™9100 Service Manual
‘Management of the measurement sequence is handled by the microprocessor which also
organises the sequencing and logical verification of the operation of the gas solenoid valves
and pressure switches.
When aas pressure is detected by a pressure switch, the appropriate rotameter backlight
will be illuminated.
‘There is a digital display of Oxygen percentage. If the percentage in a mixture with Nitrous
(Oxide goes below 23% an alarm will be initiated. This is a high priority alarm - the audible
‘component can only be muted twice for 15 seconds and after that will continue unabated
until the alarm condition is cleared. (There is 3% hysteresis so the percentage must rise to
28 before the alarm condition clears).
‘The electronics are normally powered trom the mains; a rechargeable battery, witich is
accommodated in the pneumatics module, is supplied to continue. operation of the system in
the event of a mains failure. There is a Mains Off alarm. While the mains is ON, the battery
is automatically being charged.
When a faulty battery is detected, a Battery Fail alarm is initiated. If no action is taken to
recharge (or replace) the battery at that time, the battery will eventually be disconnected by
a self protection circuit.
Alarms
‘There are three modes of audible alarm sounds to indicate levels of urgency.
1. A top priority alarm pulses on for 200mS and off for 200mS three times then pauses for
1.05 before repeating the cycle. It can only be muted twice for 15S. This level of
priority is only applied to the Low Oxygen concentration alarm which operates in a
Nitrous Oxide with Oxygon mixture.
2. ‘The medium priority alarm pulses on for 200mS and off for 200mS twice and pauses for
1.08 before repeating the cycle. It can be continually muted for 30S at a time. It is
applied to the Failed condition, i.e. low pressure at the pressure switch.
3. A low priority alarm pulses on and off once each for 200mS before a pause of 1.05 and
recycling. It is used for the System Error alarm, the Nitrous Oxide and Air Fail alarms,
and the Battery Fail alarm
‘The system Error alarm is a single indicator of several alarm conditions which are outside
the control of the operator:
EF1_N,0 selected, Air detected.
EF2 Air selected, N,O detected.
EF3 No ECHO.
EF4 Air and N,O simultaneously selected.

5.0 Theory of Operation -
Electronic
5.1 GMS125 Software Description
Refer to the Block Diagram for details of the hardware which the software controls.
Refer also to the Alarm Chart which details the conditions which initiate alarms,
‘The three basic functions of the machine which are controlled by software are:
1. Gas analysis,
2. Alarms (as a result of monitoring the activities around the circuit).
3. Solenoid control (both in normal operation and as a result of an alarm condition).
Note that:
1. The rotameter lights are controlled directly by hardware from the pressure switches -
not from the software.
2. The power fail alarm, which is an Oxygen powered whistle. and the Mains OFF alarm,
operate independently of the software.
3. Similarly the Watchdog timer alarm operates when there is a failure of the
microprocessor or associated circuitry; it cannot be software driven.
A Gas Analysis
Every 500mS a pulse is generated to initiate the measurement process (P270). As a result of
this a burst of ultrasonic eneray is transmitted along the sensor tube and an echo is
received at the same transducer after a time delay which is dependent upon the velocity of
sound in the gas mixture and which is measured by a 16 bit binary counter whose clock
input is taken from TO on the microprocessor.
‘The gain of the echo amplifier is controlled such that it is increased, by P263 going low, for
mixtures of oxygen in nitrous oxide between 85% and 55%, and further by P263 also going
low below 55%. ‘There is a hysteresis of +/-2% on the gain switching points.
‘The 16 bit count is used to calculate the percentage oxygen as a 3 digit BCD format and this
is output as short bursts of serial data from P272; P273 is used to clock the data into the
shift register in the MMS451 seven segment driver on the front panel PCB
‘The temperature correction factor is required for the calculation, and this is derived trom the
thermistor sensor which is mounted on the sensor tube. The thermistor voltage is.
converted to 8 bit binary format, input to the microprocessor at ports P10 to P17, and used in
the algorithm to calculate the percentage oxygen in the gas.
© Copyright 1993 - Iss/Rev A/O ~ Page 35GEM"9100 Service Manual
‘The inputs at ports P342 (nitrous oxide) and P343 (air) are also required to tell the program
whether nitrous oxide or aur is in the sample chamber with oxygen and therefore which
constants and calculation method are applicable. If the calculated result is outside the
expected range, or if there is no discernible echo, the display will be blanked and a SYSTEM
ERROR alarm initiated. An exception to this is when a new gas selection has just been
made, ui which ease Une Uisplay is blaihed Lut diy alarm is inhibited for 60 seconds, or until
a valid reading is obtained, to allow time for the old mixture to be purged from the sample
chamber.
B Alarms
Visual alarms are accompanied by audible alarm tones which suggest degrees of urgency.
‘Two tones are used and they are gated by two ports from the microcomputer; P363 for the
high tone and P362 for the low tone. For urgont alarms (Low Oxygen and Oxygen Failure)
the tone sequence is High/Low/High; for less urgent alarms Low/High, and for low priority
alarms High/Low.
‘Most audible alarms can he muted for a short period by pushing the Mute button. The
normal mute time is 30 seconds, after which the audible alarm resumes if the alarm.
condition persists. However for high priority alarms the mute time is 15 seconds and a Low
Oxygen alarm can be muted only twice, after which only clearing the alarm condition can
quieten it.
If the oxygen percentage in a mixture with nitrous oxide goes to 23 or below there will be a
LOW OXYGEN alarm and the reading has to go up to 26 or higher for that alarm to be
cancelled. If the reading continues to fall, 5 seconds after it reaches 18, the nitrous oxide
solenoid will be turned OFF; 15 seconds after it goes over 19, the nitrous oxide solenoid will
be tured ON again. This function operates independently of the LOW OXYGEN alarm and
it is possible to have a condition where the alarm has been cleared but the solenoid is still
tumed OFF because it is less than 15 seconds since the display exceeded 19
In the air/oxygen mode there is a LOW OXYGEN alarm if the % oxygen is 18 or lower.
‘The Mains Off alarm is basically a hardware alarm, except that there is a brief audible alarm
when the disconnection of the mains is first detected. Thereaiter there 1s no audible alarm,
and the flashing light is hardware controlled.
Every 4 minutes, a 4 second pulse is outputted from P360 to reduce the output voltage of
the regulator U16. During this period the circuit is running only from the battery and it is,
thus possible to assess the condition of the battery. A Battery Fail alarm will be detected at
350 (from U19b). If the voltage is less than 11.8 vdc, the alarm will be latched and not be
retested for another 255 seconds (4 minutes 15 seconds).
Refer to the Alarm Chart for further details of the alarm conditions, the applicable mute
‘sequences and audible alarm priorities.

Solenoids
‘The Air solenoid is tumed ON when Air is selected and OFF when Nitrous Oxide is selected.
‘Similarly the Nitrous Oxide solenoid is turned ON when Nitrous Oxide is selected and OFF
‘when Air is selected. However, it is also tumed OF when the oxygen percentage in a
mixture with nitrous oxide has been less than 18 for 5 seconds or when the oxygen supply
has failed. There is no nitrous oxide alarm under these circumstances because the nitrous
oxide has been tumed OFF deliberately.

5.2 Electronics - Hardware
Refer to the Block Diagram, to the Circuit Diagram and also to the Software Description,
(The Rinck Diagram ie renracantatinnal only and dace not purport ta convey anything more
than the general electronics functional blocks and the scheme of their interconnection. The
Circuit Diagram contains all the detail of the electronic wiring,
A Power Supplies
Incoming mains is transformed down to 16 volts, rectified and regulated by U16 whose
output is nominally set (by R13) to 13.8 volt (no load). The battery is connected directly to
this and is continuously charaed so long as the mains is connected. If the mains is turned
OFF or accidentally disconnected, a Mains Fail alarm is initiated by D@ and Q15. There is a
brief audible burst (software) and a continuous flashing light on the front panel driven by the
U20 oscillator, which has a 100:1 duty cycle to conserve battery life. (It is recommended that
the mains be left connected all the time, even when the machine is not in use).
‘The microprocessor and associated circuitry is powered from a § volt regulator, U23 and the
rotameter lights and solenoids are supplied from Q11 at 11 volts. There is also a 2.6 volt,
supply, O8, for the 7-segment displays on the front panel
Battery Management
At regular intervals (approximately every 4 minutes) the microprocessor briefly turns on Q9,
thus reducing the regulator output by about 20%. If the battery is well charged and able to
supply the circuit the voltage drop will not be significant. If the voltage drops by a large
amount (to about 11.8 volt) the low voltage detector (U19b) will be tripped and a Low Battery
alarm condition created. This alarm will not be reassessed until the next sample period (4
minutes later). If dunng battery-only operation, the battery voltage goes so low (about 1.8
alt) that the battery itself may be damaged by further discharge, the circuit will be
‘automatically disconnected by relay RL1 via detector U19a. In this situation, with no mains
supply and the battery disconnected for protection, the GMS125 will no longer be functional
If mains is reconnected the monitor will function normally except that a LOW BATTERY
alarm will exist until the battery is sufficiently recharged. The monitor will similarly function
if the battery is disconnected.
B Pneumatics Interface
In the pneumatics module are mounted three gas solenoid valves, three gas pressure
switches and the battery. Referring to the pneumatic diagram will show that there is one
pressure switch ON each of the incoming gases - Oxygen, Nitrous Oxide and Air, The
‘switches are normally closed and open when there is sufficient gas pressure.
Page 38 — Iss/Rev A/O- © Copyright 1993GEM™9100 Service Manual
The “whistle” solenoid valve is normally operated as soon as the ON/OFF switch is turned
ON; sf its not operated Oxygen will pass through it and operate the whistle. If there is a
complete power failure (both mains and battery) the whistle will sound to alert the operator
to the fact. The other two solenoids control the supply of Nitrous Oxide and Air to the
rotameter bank. Note that there is no solenoid which controls the supply of Oxygen to the
sulauwtet. However tie ON/OFF switch, mounted at the bottom of the front panel of the
monitor is a combination electric/pneumatic device and cuts off the supply of Oxygen to the
rotameter at the same time as it turns off the electrical supply.
© Watchdog Timer
A continuous sequence of low-going pulses from port P241 will keep the input of U7a from
going low and thus the output from U8b from going high. If there is a fault with the
microcomputer and the pulses cease, the microprocessor will receive a reset signal from
| UB8c, which will also cause the whistle solenoid to be released and the whistle to sound.
There will be a System Error alarm via OR gate U8d; a System Error alarm may also be
caused by a high at port P240 from the microcomputer.
D Ultrasonic Analysis
A pulse at P270 starts two monostables. The 70mS pulse from U9a starts the measurement
sequence and ensures that the measurement electronics continues to operate until the
Process is complete. The 1.6mS output at the Q output of Udb blanks the receive circuit
from responding until the ringing of the ultrasonic transducer is finished, At the same time
as the ultrasonic signal is transmitted along the sample tube a high output appears at
connector pin 6 to tum on 016 and thus set the U10 flip-flop. Via Ui0o, the 3.993 MHz
signal from TO is fed to the counter U11. When the echo is received pin 7 goes high and.
resets the flip-flop, stopping the count which can now be read to the micro.
Because the magnitude of the echo signal decreases with increase in nitrous oxide content
it is necessary to change the gain of the receive circuit. This is controlled via ports P271 and
) 263; both are high for the minimum gain which is required for all concentrations in Air and
down to 85% Oxygen in Nitrous Oxide. For 85% down to 55% a medium gain is required
and P263 is low; below 55% both ports are low to give the highest circuit gain. There is a
hysteresis of +/-2% on the gain switching points so that, for example, P263 will go low at
‘83% on the way down and high at 87% on the way up.
‘Temperature Compensation: The velocity of sound in a gas is temperature dependent
and it is therefore necessary to measure the temperature and correct for its effect. The A-D
Converter U25 is fed by U24, a low offset op-amp which conditions the signal from the
thermistor RT1 which is bonded to the sample tube. To set up the circuit, measure the
resistance between pins 3 and 4 of U24 and adjust R64 so that the result is 8470 ohms.
‘Similarly, adjust R68 so that the resistance between pins 1 and 2 is 7410 ohms.

8.4 Breathing Systems
GEM™9100 is supplied with a sliding fresh gas outlet and this can be considered as the
start of the patient circuit. The external diameter is 22 mm male and 15 mm female internal
diameter.
A latching bayonet connection is provided to help prevent any accidental disconnection and
to provide a secure leak tight connection.
Breathing Systems or patient circuits that can be used on GEM™9100 would fall into the
following categories:
Closed circuit, e.g. circle absorber
Semi clasad circnit, e.g. Magill (Maplasan A)
Open circuit, e.g. Jackson Rees T piece
Co-axial circuit, e.g. Bain or Lack
CIG Health Care offers a range of products to suit most requirements and a comprehensive
catalogue is available on request.
As a guide, the ideal patient circuit should have the following properties:
Low inspiratory and expiratory effort for spontaneous breathing
Identifiable as disposable or reusable
Easily sterilised/cleaned
Easily handled and light weight
High tolerance to fresh gas flow rate - economical
Low pollution of the environment
Low dead space
Corrugated tube not kinkable
Length appropriate to type
10. Fittings not susceptible to distortion

When changing from oxygen/nitrous oxide to oxygen/air a transient system error alarm may
occur. This is caused by an inversion layer of N,O moving down the measurement chamber.
‘The condition will automatically clear and display revert to normal when the chamber is.
flooded with the new gas mixture of oxygen/air - typically approxumately sv seconas.
F Flowmeters
1. Ensure that the bobbin moves freely.
2. Turn OFF each flowmeter control (fully clockwise) and check that the position of the
bobbin is at zero and that no gas flows.
G Vaporisers
1. Check each vaporiser in turn.
1.1. That it is seated correctly and locked in place and will not lift off the back bar.
1.2. That it can be tumed on.
1.3 That it is turned off.
1.4 That it contains a sufficient amount of the correct liquid agent.
1.5 That the filling and emptying ports are fully closed
H_ Test for Leaks Upstream of the Common Gas Outlet
1. Connect a pressure manometer to the fresh gas outlet.
2. Tum ON the oxygen flowmeter control carefully to 100 ml/minute.
2.1 Aggas flow of 100 mi/minute should maintain a pressure of 40 cm H20, i. there
are no significant gas leaks.
2.2 Ifa greater gas flow is required to maintain this pressure, the magnitude of the
flow indicates the extent of the leak.
2.3. The function of the safety precircuit pressure release valve may be checked by
gradually increasing the gas flow until pressure release occurs.
3. Repeat this test with each vaporiser turned “OFF” and “ON” in turn,
I Breathing System Selection
1. Check that the gas supply is connected to the selected breathing systems.
2. Check that the size of tubo used to make this connection is adequate to cope with
anticipated gas flows. High gas flows require a larger diameter.
J Circle Absorption System
1. Soda lime - check that this is not exhausted. Renew if necessary, and remove dust
from soda lime when refilling canister.
2. Breathing hoses - check that these are correctly and firmly connected.
3. Valve function and leaks in breathing system

Close adjustable pressure relief valve and attach spare breathing bag to the patient
connection limb of the “Y" piece.
Depress the oxygen flush button to fill the breathing bag.
Alternately squeeze the two bags to ensure that oxygen passes from one bag to the
other, and check visually that each unidirectional valve functions correctly.
Squeeze both bags simultaneously to raise the pressure in the circuit w appruxiumately
30 cm water.
‘Open spill valve and check that gas spills easily when both bags are squeezed.
Disconnect spare breathing bag and replace with a mask suitable for the patient.
Scavenging System
Chock that the scavenging circuit is connected correctly to the selected breathing
system.
‘Check that all components of the scavenging system are unencumbered to allow free
gas flow.
If negative pressure is used to aid scavenging check that this does not empty the
breathing system.
3.1. Fill the breathing system with oxygen by occluding the patient outlet and.
depressing the oxygen flush button.
3.2 Check that the circuit does not empty when the spill valve is opened.
3.3. Close the spill valve again when this check has been done,
Apparatus Mounted on the Anaesthetic Machine
Other apparatus to be usod in the conduct of the anaesthetic should be checked
according to the protocol appropriate to the device.
Special attention should be given to:
2.1 Equipment for intubation of the trachea.
2.2 Suction apparatus.
2.3 Ventilators.
24 Gas analysis devices.
2.5 Disconnection alarms.
System Shutdown,
Leave machine turned ON.
