User responsibility
The equipment described in this manual has been built to confirm with the
specifications and instructions stated in this manual. To ensure proper and safe
operation of the equipment, it must be checked and serviced at least according to the
minimum standards laid out in this manual.
The equipment must be repaired and serviced only in accordance with written
instructions issued by Medec Benelux N.V. and must not be altered or modified in
any way without written approval of Medec Benelux N.V. The user of this equipment
shall have the responsibility for any malfunction which results from improper use,
maintenance, repair, damage or alteration by anyone other than Medec Benelux N.V.
or its appointed agents.
The Neptune anaesthesia combination has been specially developed for anaesthetic
applications.
The system is built around the so-called bag in bottle principle. This system has for
many years proved to be a reliable and safe system. One important aspect in this
connection is that the gas exchange of the patient is completely separated from the
machine by use of the bag mentioned.
Another important aspect is that the Neptune anaesthesia system, whatever
catastrophe might occur (compressed air, mains voltage failure or technical
problems), always goes into the spontaneous / manual respiration mode. This way, the
(manual) respiration of the patient is always guaranteed as long as the fresh gas
supply is assured.
The Neptune anaesthesia system may only be used in anaesthetic rooms which are
conducting and are provided with proper ventilation and electrical wiring.
The Neptune anaesthesia system may only be used in anaesthetic rooms conform with
EN60601-1-2 level. RS232 output (optional) may only be used with devices conform
with EN60601-1-2 level.

1.1 ELECTRONIC SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Neptune contains several electronic printed circuit boards, which are located on
different locations in the machine.
Electronic system overview
Neptune ventilator 1 Technical manual

• Mains AC input
The AC inlet at the back of the ventilator contains a fuse holder and power switch.
The AC mains voltage is connected to the AC/DC converter board.
• AC/DC converter board
The AC/DC converter board converts the AC mains voltage to +24V DC voltage.
The +24V DC is fully isolated from the AC mains voltage to ensure safe working
conditions.
• DC/DC power supply
The DC/DC power supply board generates different DC voltages and controls the
battery charging current. A special battery controller device will charge the battery
as safe as possible and under the best conditions to have a long battery lifetime.
The DC/DC power supply output voltages are:
o +5V DC
o +12V DC
o +24V DC
o +12V DC
• Extendable system set
The extendable system set consists of 4 different boards that are connected by
means of 2 elevated multiple pins connectors:
o MMI board
o Backplane board
o Master board
o Pneumatic board
The 4 different boards have their own specific tasks. The MMI board, master
board and the pneumatic board have one or more microprocessors and other
electronic devices on board. The backplane board only contains connectors and
has no microprocessor. The extendable system set is built so that further
expansion of the electronics is possible by means of the elevated multiple pins
connectors.
• Backplane board
The backplane board contains buzzer, O2 sensor, power switch and power supply
connectors. The power connector is connected to the DC/DC power supply. The
board is distributing the different DC voltages through the extendable system set.

• MMI board
The MMI board contains only one microprocessor. It’s reprogrammable so it can
be upgraded if necessary. The microprocessor controls all the graphical display
functions and is communicating - by means of the master board - with the
pneumatic board. The microprocessor is also controlling the keyboard board, the
control knob and the speaker.
• Master board
The master board contains one microprocessor and is also reprogrammable if

necessary. The master board looks after the communication between the MMI
board and pneumatic board.
The master board microprocessor checks the proper working of the MMI and
pneumatic board microprocessors. Otherwise, the MMI board microprocessor
checks the proper working of the master and pneumatic board microprocessor and
the pneumatic board microprocessor checks the MMI and master board
microprocessors. Each microprocessor is checking the other microprocessors for
errors or malfunctions, which makes the ventilator a very safe system. Once an
error is found, the electronics stop working and a continuous beep is audible.
Note: The ventilator automatically switches over to manual mode after an error
or malfunction is detected.
• Pneumatic board
The pneumatic board contains one microprocessor. This microprocessor is

reprogrammable for upgrades if necessary. The pneumatic board of course
controls the pneumatic functions of the ventilator. There are six pressure
transducers mounted on the board for measuring all kinds of parameters. The
pneumatic board also drives the electrical valves on the manifold and bottle. The
microprocessor receives settings from the MMI board and processes the values.
The pneumatic board microprocessor sends information back to the MMI board
like e.g.: actual airway pressure, alarms, patient status values, etc.
• Keyboard board
The keyboard board contains several switches and leds for interaction between the
operator and the electronic system. The keyboard board is connected to the MMI
board and processed by the microprocessor on the MMI board.

• Graphical display
The graphical display shows all kind of information. It consists of menus, settings,
parameters, graphs, etc. The display is also responsible for interaction between the
operator and the ventilator electronics.
Along with the keyboard switches and leds, they form the operator’s interface.

1.2 POWER SUPPLY
The AC mains inlet at the back of the ventilator is equipped with a power switch and a
fuse holder block. The fuse holder contains two fuses type 2A slow.
The AC mains voltage must be in the range from 100V AC to 240V AC. The AC
mains frequency must be in the range from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. These are the absolute
maximum ratings for the AC mains supply.
1.2.1 Replacing the AC mains fuses
Replace the AC mains fuses by mean of the following instructions:
- Turn off the Neptune and disconnect the power cord from the mains
inlet.
- Insert a screwdriver in the small AC receptacle and pull out the fuse
holder block.
- Replace the blown fuses and place the fuse holder block back into the
AC receptacle.
- Connect the power cord back to the AC mains inlet.
Note: Always replace the blown fuses with the same type and ratings.
1.2.2 Block diagram
The power supply block diagram is represented on the next page.

Block diagram power supply

The battery-charging unit charges the battery to maintain a maximum battery capacity
and life.
If the AC mains supply voltage is present, the battery is charged with a maximum
current of approximately 0,9 Ampere. After a while, the charging current decreases
and a minimum trickle current of 0.09 Ampere flows through the battery. To
guarantee full recharge of an exhausted battery, connect the ventilator to the mains
supply for at least a couple of hours.
Note: The switch at the back of the ventilator must be turned ON to activate the
battery charging.
Note: The ventilator uses high voltages, capable of causing personal injury.
Do not touch the AC mains voltage electronics during operation.
If an AC mains power failure occurs, the power supply automatically switches over to
battery supply. You can work approximately 1 hour on battery supply. The battery-
charging unit monitors the battery voltage and checks for a battery voltage lower than
10,5 Volt. If the battery voltage is getting lower than 10,5 Volt, the power supply
electronics is disconnected from the battery to prevent a totally exhausted battery. A
totally exhausted battery will shrink the battery lifetime enormously.
An audible alarm is activated during 20 seconds after the ventilator shuts off because
of an empty battery.
The power supply board is equipped with 5 fuses:
- battery fuse F1: 3,15A slow

- +5V DC fuse F2: 3,15A slow
The green LEDs indicate if a voltage is present:
- LED D19 indicates the +24V DC input voltage from AC/DC converter
- LED D14 indicates the +5V DC output voltage
The +24 Volt DC output voltage is not available when working on battery. This
means that LED D19 and D17 aren’t lit in this situation.
You can rapidly determine a blown fuse by taking a look at the LED indicators. There
is no LED indicator provided on the battery input voltage to prevent a waste of battery
power.

The power supply board is provided with four connectors:
• Connector P3:

1.4 MMI BOARD
1.4.1 Block diagram
The block diagram of the MMI board is represented on the following page.
There is only one microprocessor provided on the MMI board. This main
microprocessor controls the control knob, the keyboard, the speaker sound, LCD and
the communication. It is reprogrammable by means of the programming interface
connector P1.
All the graphical data is stored in the flash memory. This flash memory is also
reprogrammable with the use of connector P1.
The RAM memory is used as video memory. The video memory is copied through the
LCD data bus to the on-board LCD controller.
The LED indicators are located on the top of the MMI board and consist of four
LEDs: one green LED and three red LEDs. They give you helpful information when
an error occurs. More about errors and malfunctions of the ventilator is described later
in this manual.
The main microprocessor is communicating with the master board by means of

connector P2. The MMI board sends to and receives information from the master
board. The master board can transmit to and receive data from the pneumatic board.
In this way the MMI board is communication with the pneumatic board.

1.4.3 MMI board layout

1.4.4 Built-in test software
• Start-up test
After turning the ventilator on, the MMI board will test the different functions.
During start-up the following tests are executed:
o Microprocessor internal functions tests:

test internal program memory
test internal SRAM memory
test the timers
test internal EEPROM memory
test Watchdog
o Microprocessor external functions tests:

test external SRAM memory
test external flash memory
test LCD driver with Medec logo
test keyboard for shorts
buzzer test

Visual test of the leds and the displays on the keyboard panel.
All segments and leds are on.
Visual test of the barograph

The green leds light up from left to right and the red leds from
right to left.
o Microprocessor communication test:

Tests the communication between MMI board and master
board.
When all these tests are executed successfully, the MMI board is ready to start
working. If an error occurred, the type of error is displayed on the LED indicators.
G R R R

After start-up, the LED indicators can show the following errors:
LED indicators Type error
Device is working properly

G R R R
Microprocessor internal function error

G R R R
Microprocessor external function error

G R R R
Communication error
G R R R
Note: During error free operation of the ventilator, the LED indicators might be
turned on and off by the software. This is quite normal and has nothing to
do with error codes.
To determine the exact error on the MMI board, you have to perform a specific test by
using the build-in test software.
Note: When executing a specific test on the MMI board, there will be no
communication between the master board and the MMI board. The master
board will interprete this as a communication error and a continuous beep
is audible. This can be very annoying. To prevent this error, put the master
board in internal test mode by setting dipswitch 1 high. For detailed
instructions, see the master board section later in this manual.

• Microprocessor internal function test
If a microprocessor internal error is detected, execute an internal function test as

follows:
o Turn the Neptune ventilator off

o Remove the upper cover plate at the back of the Neptune
o Change the dipswitch setting of the MMI board with a small
screwdriver to
1 2 3 4 5
o Turn the ventilator on

o The graphics display continuously shows the Medec logo
o Display changes from normal to inverted to flashing

o If no errors where found, all the red LEDs are off and the green LED is
blinking
o If an error is detected, the error is indicated on the red error LEDs and
the green LED is off. The possible errors are illustrated in the table on
the next page:

INTERNAL FUNCTION TEST ERROR CODES

0 NO ERRORS detected, test loop is running

To determine the exact error on the master board, you have to perform a specific test
by using the build-in test software.
Note: During executing a specific test on the master board there will be no
communication between the master board and the display board. The
MMI board will interpret this as a communication error and a
communication error code is displayed and also an alarm sound is
audible. This can be very annoying. To prevent this error put the MMI
board in internal test mode by setting dipswitch 1 high. See the MMI
board section in this manual for detailed instructions.
Note: The pneumatic board will also detect a communication error during a
executing a specific test on the master board. Don’t pay any attention
to it in this situation.

1.7 PNEUMATIC BOARD
1.7.1 Block diagram
The block diagram of the pneumatic board is represented on the following page.
The pneumatic board is provided with one microprocessor. The microprocessor is re-
programmable by means of connector P3.
The A/D converter converts the signal of the pressure transducer, the +12V valves
voltage and the +12V voltage to a digital value.
There are two valve driver IC’s that can drive each 8 valves. Each output is provided
with a green LED. You can see the valve state directly on the LED’s. Connectors P4
and P5 connecting the valve driver IC’s with the valves.
The pneumatic microprocessor receives settings from the MMI board. On the basis of
these settings and the signals from the transducers the microprocessor is calculating
all the parameters needed to drive the pneumatic valves.
The microprocessor must trigger the 12V safety circuit in a certain time. During a
microprocessor failure the +12V safety circuit will not be triggered and the +12V
voltage on the valves shuts off. The ventilator switches automatically over to MAN.
mode in this situation (because no valves are driven).

1.7.3 Build-in test software
• Start-up test
After turning the ventilator on, the pneumatic board will test all his different
functions. During start-up the following tests are executed:

test the timers
test EEPROM memory
test Watchdog
o Microprocessor external functions test

test external 12V safety valve
test external A/D converter
o Microprocessor communication test
test the communication between pneumatic board and master

board
When all these tests are executed successfully, the MMI board is ready to start

Communication error
G R R R

To determine the exact error on the pneumatic board, you have to perform a specific
test by using the build-in test software.
Note: During executing a specific test on the pneumatic board there will be
no communication between the master board and the pneumatic board.
The master board will interpret this as a communication error and a
continuous beep is audible. This can be very annoying. To prevent this
error put the master board in internal test mode by setting dipswitch 1
high. See the master board section later in this manual for detailed
instructions.
Note: The MMI board will also detect a communication error during a
executing a specific test on the pneumatic board. To prevent this error
put the MMI board in internal test mode by setting dipswitch 1 high.
See the MMI board section in this manual for detailed instructions.

2. PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
2.1 PNEUMATIC DIAGRAM
The pneumatic diagram of the Neptune ventilator is represented on the next page.

2.2 MANUAL / SPONTANEOUS MODE (MAN)
If the Neptune is set to Man/Spont mode, the hand balloon is connected through the
patient breathing circuit and absorber to the patient. Squeezing the manual bag will
initiate an inspiration phase. The CO2 is removed by the soda lime in the canister.
Mixed gas from hand balloon and fresh gas flow goes directly to the patient. During
this phase, with the ventilator switched to Man/Spont mode, the patient pressure is
monitored and shown on the display.
If the patient pressure exceeds the upper limit pressure setting, an audible and visual
alarm is set. In this mode, the safety valve on the manual bag will guarantee the
maximum pressure level that can be set.
Man/Spont INSPIRATION

Releasing the hand balloon will initiate an expiration phase. The patient can breath
out. At the end of the expiration, parameters like PEEP, frequency, PIP and tidal
volume are calculated and shown on the display.
Man/Spont EXPIRATION

2.3 CONTROLLED MANDATORY VENTILATION (CMV)
The system is built around the so-called "bag in bottle principle". The figure on the
next page represents the inspiration and expiration phase in CMV mode.
Tank T is filled with an initial pressure calculated by the pneumatic microprocessor.

The initial pressure is calculated on the basis of an algorithm comprising the
following parameters:
o Fresh gas flow

o Total circuit resistance
o Patient compliance
o Hose system compliance
o Frequency
o I/E ratio
o Tidal volume
o PEEP
o Leakage
The contents of tank T flows into the bottle during inspiration, so that a pressure rise
will occur in it, and this will compress the bag.
The gas flows via the MAN/CMV valve, flow sensor and absorber to the patient.
During inspiration, the gas is routed through the soda lime.
The patient pressure is shown on the barograph or on the graphic.
During inspiration, the PEEP/upper limit pressure valve will contain the set upper
limit pressure. As soon as the patient pressure exceeds this limit, gas will be
evacuated from the patient circuit.
CMV INSPIRATION

During expiration, the patient breathes out into the bag via the soda lime in the
absorber, the flow sensor and the MAN/CMV valve. The bottle venting valve is open,
causing the pressure in the bottle to become equal to atmospheric pressure.
If the fresh gas flow is higher than the consumption by the patient or leakage, as
appropriate, the system would become overfilled. This is prevented by the evacuation
of the surplus gas via the PEEP/upper limit valve (X6).
CMV EXPIRATION

2.4 PRESSURE CONTROLLED VENTILATION (PCV)
In PCV mode the ventilator has to deliver the set peak pressure.
At the start of inspiration the tank who is filled during last expiration is connected with
bottle. This gives a decelerating flow, high at the start that comes to zero when the peak
level is reached.
V7 and V8 are used to give extra flow to keep the pressure at same level.
For a smooth regulation activation from this valves is done in ‘PWM’ pulse wide
modulation .
V1,V2,V14,V15&V16 are used to open the bottle and keep the pressure at peak level.
During the inspiration time ,the electronics will measure the patient pressure. If the
pressure is not within limits a calculation is done to adjust the tank pressure setting for
the next inspiration.. If the patient pressure becomes higher than the set peak pressure
+5hPa/+5mbar, valve V13 will be set in expiration position, the amount of pressure that
is too much can escape via the evacuation. When the patient pressure is within limits,
valve V13 will be set in inspiration position.
Each time valve V13 switches during inspiration the pressure in reservoir upper limit
becomes lower.” The start pressure is 100hPa/100mbar”.
During the expiration the exhaled patient flow is measured and tidal volume is
calculated.
If the PEEP (positive end expiration pressure) is higher than the set PEEP +
20hPa/+20mbar, the ventilator goes in Man/Spont mode and an error message is shown
on display.

PCV INSPIRATION
PCV EXPIRATION

2.5 PEEP
During expiration and a PEEP is set, a certain pressure is set behind the PEEP
valve X6. This pressure is derived from the X6 back pressure during inspiration.
At the start op expiration valve V13 is set to expiration mode.
With a PEEP set, valve V9 is always on. Valve 10 is off for a certain time, during this
time the back pressure from valve X6 can escape rapidly, to create the best expiration
situation. Valve V10 is switched on after a certain time to load the PEEP reservoir with
pressure.
The time that valve V10 is switched on is calculated at the end of expiration, this time
will be shorter for higher PEEP level and longer for lower PEEP level.
PEEP regulation is the same for CMV and PCV mode.
2.6 Flush safety
There is a detection when an oxygen flush is generated to prevent high pressure if the
upper limit was set too high.
The Max pressure allowed during an O2 flush is last peak pressure +20hPa / +20mbar,
If the volume was stable and when this level (last pip +20 is below upper limit setting).
When the upper limit alarm is lower ,the upper limit alarm level is used.
The min level is 30hPa / 30mbar if upper limit is higher.
When the upper limit alarm level is lower then the calculated safety, the upper limit
alarm level has priority.

2.7 MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
2.7.1 Patient breathing unit
There are four main parts in the patient unit that need to be distinguished:
o PEEP and upper limit pressure valve

o MAN/CMV switching valve
o Flow sensor
o Latex free autoclavable bag

● PEEP and upper limit pressure valve
Regulation of the PEEP and upper limit pressure is provided by the mushroom valve (C)
which operates a plastic valve (D).
During inspiration, the value set for the upper limit pressure is applied to the mushroom
valve causing this to expand and thus exert the same pressure on the plastic valve.
When a pressure higher than the upper limit pressure is built up on the underside, the
valve will be lifted and gas is able to escape via the evacuation. The plastic valve
ensures that the pressure is uniformly distributed so that the noise made by the escaping
air is attenuated.
During expiration, the value set for the PEEP is applied to the mushroom valve. The
exhalation curve thus approaches the PEEP gradually. There are no sudden transitions,
which results in a “smoothed shape”.
The upper limit pressure thus ensures that the patient is not exposed to too high
pressures during inspiration, while the PEEP ensures - when expiration occurs - that
sufficient pressure remains in the lung. This is only applicable in CMV and PCV mode.

● MAN/CMV switching valve
The changeover valve is always in the unpowered state in the Man/Spont mode. The
valve (G) is in fact pressed up by a spring so that the absorber is connected directly to
the hand balloon. If the ventilator mode is changed to CMV or PCV, pressure reaches
the switching diaphragm via connection E. The valve is thereby pressed down and the
hand balloon shut off. When this occurs, the connection to the bag (F) is opened so that
the absorber is now connected to the bag.

● Flow sensor
The flow sensor is a derivative, developed by Medec Benelux NV, of the well- known
Fleisch principle. To ensure laminar flow, special perforated rings are fitted. The flow
sensor can measure flow up to 96 l/min.
Differential pressure (∆P) is measured across the restriction by means of connections A

and B, which are connected to transducer TRX3.
● Latex free autoclavable bag
The bag is connected to the connection F intended for this purpose. It should be clearly
understood that in the unpowered state (i.e. in the Man/Spont mode), the bag is not used.
The bag is a special balloon and therefore cannot be replaced with a different type of
balloon.
Warning: Medec Benelux NV can only guarantee correct ventilator operation

with the same type of balloon.

2.7.2 Bottle
The feed-through plate of the bottle is provided with five connections. This plate ensures
a gas-tight connection between the bottle and the patient breathing unit. This makes the
patient breathing unit easy to remove and to clean.

E. Measurement point, flow sensor negative and patient pressure.
The bag is inserted in the bottle after which the patient breathing unit is attached to the
bottle by means of the whale clip.
The bottle is manufactured from aluminum. On the back of the bottle, there are two
valves:
o The bottle safety valve located on the top is adjusted to

120hPa/120mbar. So the pressure in the bottle (and thus also in the
patients lung) never exceeds this value.
o The bottle venting valve located on the bottom ensures that during
inspiration, the bottle is shut off from the outside air so that the bag can
be compressed. During expiration, this valve ensures that the bottle is
vented, so that the bag can be filled again with the expired gas from the
patient.

2.7.3 Supply tank
The supply tank T (contents = 1,2 liter) provides the inspiration stroke volume.
The tank is located around the bottle.
The tank can be filled with the use of two low flow valves or one high flow valve.
There’s another valve provided to connect the tank with the bottle.

2.7.4 Solenoid valves
The solenoid valves are special maintenance-free low-power valves. Because of the
special design, in which there is no sliding core but a corrosion-resistant metal
diaphragm, the valve processes a number of unique properties.
The ring which connects the coil and the valve housing may be unscrewed one turn in
order to attend to the electrical connections. Never unscrew the ring entirely, to prevent
vital parts being lost or damaged.
Note: Never change the order of diaphragm and spacer ring, since these are
specially calibrated.

3. MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION
The aim of the maintenance and calibration procedure is to ensure proper and safe
working of the Neptune ventilator. It must be performed by a qualified service engineer
every 6 months. Always recalibrate the ventilator and execute a leaktest after replacing a
component.
3.1 VISUAL INSPECTION
Remove the cover plate of the Neptune ventilator.
• Electronic system
1 Ensure that all the boards of the extendable system set are mounted
correctly.
1 Check that all electrical connectors are latched.
1 Check all keyboard board switches for proper working
1 Check control knob switch and rotation for proper working
• Pneumatic
1 Make sure that all tubes are properly connected and none are kinked or
pinched.
1 Check the clear tubing for signs of water. If any is detected, replace the
tubing or blow out the water by means of compressed air.
1 Check the air input water trap. Any presence of water must be
removed by pressing the bottom pin of the water trap. Make sure that
no water is flowing away into the ventilator.
1 Check the patient breathing system, the absorber and all external
tubing.

3.2 BATTERY BACKUP
The ventilator can work for at least 1 hour on battery when fully charged. Connect the
ventilator for a couple of hours to the AC mains supply to assure a fully charged battery.
Check the ventilator battery backup by means of the following instructions:
o Connect the power cord to the AC mains inlet

o Turn the AC mains switch at the back of the ventilator ON
o Turn the ventilator ON
o There is a mains plug drawn at the top of the display which means that
the ventilator is working on AC mains supply
o Set the ventilator to CMV mode
o Check the battery backup by pulling the mains plug
o There is a battery drawn at the top of the display which means that the
ventilator is working on battery
If the ventilator shuts off in less than 1 hour, replace the battery by a new one. We
recommend replacing the battery every 3 years. Always replace the battery with the
same type and ratings.
Note: The battery does not require maintenance under normal

circumstances. Always replace with same type every three years.

3.3 THE CALIBRATION MENU
Enter the calibration menu as follows:
o Turn the ventilator ON

o Go to the Info menu
o Press the buttons in the exact order as represented:
1
3

2 3
1. Control buttons: with these buttons you can change the calibration settings,
drive the +12 voltage of the valves, set valves on and off, etc.
2. Exit button: you can leave the calibration menu by pressing the exit button. The
changes made in the calibration menu are stored to the EEPROM memory of the
pneumatic board.
3. Input indicators: the input pressure switches, connected to connector P6 on the

pneumatic board, are indicated over here. INPUT1 is connected to the air input
pressure switch, INPUT2 is connected to the O2 input pressure switch and
INPUT6 is connected to the N2O input pressure switch.
INPUT3, INPUT4, INPUT5, INPUT7 and INPUT8 are not used.
4. Valve ON/OFF: you can set each valve individually ON and OFF.
5. +12V VALVES: you can turn the +12V voltage of the valves ON and OFF.
Make sure that you set the +12V VALVES voltage on when you are testing each
valve individually. The ADC reading value is the value that the analog / digital
converter (ADC), located on the pneumatic board, indicates during converting
the +12V VALVES voltage to a digital value.
6. +12V SUPPLY: over here you can see a read-out of the digital value of the
+12V supply generated by the ADC converter. The +12V supply must always be
present after turning the ventilator on.
7. Selection beam: you can scroll the selection beam through the calibration menu
by rotating the control knob. The function of the control buttons at the left is
depending on the position of the selection beam.
8. Pressure transducers: each pressure transducer (TRX) can be calibrated

individually. TRX1 measures the airway pressure, TRX2 measures the PEEP
pressure, TRX3 measures the patient flow located in the patient breathing unit,

TRX4 measures the fresh gas flow, TRX5 measures the tank pressure and TRX6
measures the upper limit pressure.
9. Service time: the service time is used to check the time between the last
maintenance and now. The service engineer has the possibility to zero this
service time after the maintenance and calibration procedure is executed. The
service timer is always running when the ventilator is on, regardless of standby
mode, manual mode, PCV or CMV mode.

Zeroing the pressure transducer TRX1, TRX2, TRX5 and TRX6
o Disconnect patient breathing unit.

o Close fresh gas.
o Activate valve V5 to discharge the tank.
o Move the selection beam to transducer TRX1.
o Press the zero button.
o Transducer TRX1 is now zeroed.
o Repeat the 3 previous instructions for zeroing transducer TRX2, TRX5
and TRX6.
Zeroing the pressure transducer TRX3 and TRX4
Warning: A zero and/or max. calibration of transducer TRX3 and/or TRX4

will erase the previous GAIN setting of the transducer. Make a note
of these GAIN setting (they can be used later) before starting any
zero or Max calibration transducer TRX3 and TRX4.
The pressure transducer TRX3 and TRX4 are used to measure flow. They measure the
differential pressure across the flow sensor. The pneumatic microprocessor uses a look-
up table of the sensor to convert differential pressure to flow (liter/minute). There can be
a very small deviation between the look-up table and the flow sensor. You can eliminate
this deviation by adjusting the GAIN of the selected pressure transducer (only applicable

on TRX3 and TRX4). You need a calibrated flow meter to compare the adjusted flow in
the calibration menu with the reference flow measured.
Warning: A zero and/or max. calibration of transducer TRX3 and/or TRX4

will erase the previous GAIN setting of the transducer. Adjustment
of the GAIN is necessary to eliminate the deviation again.
o Be sure that the fresh gas is closed.
NOTE: It is not necessary to open the ventilator to do the zeroing TRX3.

Be sure that patient breathing unit is disconnected.

NOTE: Set back the factory setting from TRX3 where you have made a note
from when only a zeroing from TRX3 is necessary.

3.13 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: It is recommended that the Neptune should be checked at least twice a

year by the Medec Benelux NV service department or by specially
trained personnel. There are a number of parts which require either
periodic maintenance or replacement.
5 Patient breathing unit

• The mushroom valve and the switching diaphragm are to be replaced each
service.
• The MAN/CMV changeover valve is to be inspected at each service and if

necessary cleaned. It is replaced annually.
• The expiration valve (under the mushroom valve) is replaced annually. When
fitting, it’s important to guide the valve gently onto its seating.
• Check the flow sensor at each service and clean with alcohol if necessary.
• Replace the O-rings (see detailed drawing patient breathing unit).
• Replace the bag.
Warning: Always replace with same type of bag to ensure satisfactory

performance. In fact, the specifications of the Neptune are greatly
dependent on the elasticity of the balloon.
Warning: Never immerse the patient breathing unit in a liquid and only fit a
dry unit!

At start of expiration the tank is filled with pressure.
When there is already a pressure in the tank that is higher than the calculated
pressure, the tank pressure will be discharged.
If this is not possible before next inspiration starts, the software will see that the
discharging was still busy and an error message 58 is set on screen.
Action:
Check valve V5 and X3.
