2.4 Description of function

2.4.1 Therapy devices
Therapy devices of type WM 110 TD and WM 120 TD essentially
consist of the following components:
• Housing
• Blower
• Main board
• Valve control board (only prisma VENT50)
• Pressure build-up valve (only prisma VENT50)
• Pressure drop valve (only prisma VENT50)
• Display
• Control panel and dial (encoder)
• Power supply unit
The electronically-controlled blower draws in ambient air through a
filter, compresses the air and delivers it to the device outlet port at
therapy pressure. From here, air flows through the patient circuit and
the patient/ventilator interface (nasal cannula, tracheostomy, tube) to
the patient. The exhalation system upstream of the patient/ventilator
interface or optionally integrated in the patient/ventilator interface
prevents CO2-enriched exhaled air accumulating in the patient circuit.
Sensors on the main board enable the therapy device to determine and
analyze the pressure and respiratory flow signal at the patient/
ventilator interface and in the patient circuit, as well as in the
respiratory phase switch. The blower accordingly provides the
respiratory volume and the ventilation pressures prescribed by the
physician. The pressure sensors are connected to the device outlet port
via tubes and a Y-piece, allowing pressure to be measured close to the
device.
The flow sensor is connected directly to the flow element via 2 seals.
The air flowing through the flow element is guided through a large
number of fins which forces a laminar flow pattern. A drop in pressure
results from this laminar flow pattern in accordance with the laws of
flow mechanics. Differential pressure is determined by the flow sensor
and flow is calculated with the aid of other status variables such as
absolute pressure, for example. The sensors are calibrated when the
main board is manufactured and do not need to be recalibrated.
Pressure, flow, leakages and volumes can be saved and/or
(synchronously) output to a PSG system in analog form via the
prismaCONNECT module.
The therapy data are stored in the device and on an SD card for
monitoring therapy. In order to save the therapy data even if there is
no power supply in the device, the memory component is supplied
with power by a buffer battery. The buffer battery can be replaced if
required, it is inserted in a battery holder on the main board.
The device is operated by keys and a dial.
The device can be controlled remotely via the prismaTS therapy
software. In the event of a power failure, the settings are retained and
therapy is continued once the power supply is restored.

 2 Product description

2.4.2 Control PEEP valve (only prisma VENT50)

The PEEP control takes place via a pressure build-up and pressure drop
valve. The valves are controlled by the valve control board.
The patient-related therapy pressure and the PEEP control pressure are
recorded via a pressure sensor on the valve control board.
During the inspiratory phase, the pressure drop valve is closed and the
pressure build-up valve is opened: thereby a secondary flow of the
therapy pressure built up by the blower builds up the control pressure
required to close the PEEP valve via the pressure-side connection of the
central part of housing.
As soon as the required control pressure is reached and the PEEP valve
is closed, the pressure build-up valve is also closed and the pressure is
maintained.
When changing the respiratory phase to expiration, the pressure drop
valve is opened and the PEEP control pressure builds up via the suction
side connection to the central part of housing and the PEEP valve
opens.

2.4.3 Main board

The main board forms the heart of the therapy device. It includes
important components such as the flow sensor and pressure sensor,
memory component and controller, for example. The controller is
programmed with the relevant device firmware which comprises the
complete algorithm for controlling the device.
The main board performs the whole energy management process for
the device.

2.4.4 Display
The display measuring 4.3" is for displaying all information. It is
permanently connected (bonded) to the front wall of the housing.

2.4.5 Blower
The blower is a radial blower with a finely-weighted fan wheel and a
3-phase motor with Hall sensors to detect speed continuously. The
blower is actuated by the main board, with blower speed dependent
on current pressure requirements and current leakage.

5.1 General information
To simplify the test sequence, the therapy device has a programmed
step-by-step test. This is available in activated Service mode (see "5.4.2
Perform step-by-step test", page 25).
The step-by-step test comprises all the test steps necessary to check the
functionality of the therapy device.
The test sequence is independent of current therapy device settings,
i.e. patient parameters are retained unchanged.
Other service functions are furthermore available in Service mode (see
"5.2 Activating service mode", page 21).
• Perform a final check:
• After every service
• After every repair
• After every hygiene treatment
• In the final step of the step-by-step test, there is the option of
having an electronic test record generated in PDF format. The test
record can be saved on the SD card of the device.
• If you find faults or deviations from specified values during the final
check, do not use the therapy device again until the faults have
been rectified.
• Note that the final check is only possible from firmware version
1.3.0 upwards. Perform a firmware update if there is a lower
version of the firmware on the device (see "3.4 Perform firmware
update", page 13).
• Use the final check to troubleshoot. A summary of possible faults
can be found in the section entitled “Faults” (see "6 Faults", page
31).
• The auxiliary equipment required can be found in the section
entitled “Auxiliary equipment required” (see "11 Auxiliary
equipment required", page 70).

5.2 Activating service mode

The therapy device has a Service mode which can be activated with the
aid of service connector WM 29917 which is available to trained
service engineers.
1. Switch the device off completely.
2. Disconnect the power supply.
3. Connect service connector to the system interface.
4. Connect power supply.
