Et Control Addendum Software Revision 7.X
Et Control Option This addendum describes the function of Et Control mode. Use this addendum along with the Aisys 7.X User’s Reference manual.
Et Control mode Et Control is an optional gas delivery mode. The clinician sets the target end tidal O2 (EtO2) and target anesthetic agent (EtAA) values. The system monitors the EtO2 and EtAA values and adjusts the gas composition and total flow to maintain the set target values. A patient airway (for example, endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway) must be in place and controlled while using Et Control mode. Et Control mode cannot be used with a mask airway. The system must have a supply of O2 and balance gas to enter Et Control mode. Safety checks run on the system while in Et Control mode. See “Et Control theory of operation” for specific check information. Et Control cannot be used with halothane, enflurane, non-circle circuit, cardiac bypass, Alternate O2, and Air only modes. It is recommended that Et Control mode not be used during cases that have disturbances to the lungs such as chest surgery.
WARNING
M1177874
The system may deliver 100% O2 while in Et Control mode. Do not use Et Control if delivery of 100% O2 could injure the patient.
w
Fire hazard. Do not use electrosurgical equipment that cannot be used in the presence of oxygen while in Et Control mode.
w
Et Control mode stops if an anesthetic agent type change is made while Et Control mode is active. Exit Et Control mode before changing an agent type.

Et Control theory of operation Et Control is an optional gas delivery mode. The clinician sets the target end tidal O2 (EtO2) and anesthetic agent (EtAA) values. The system monitors the EtO2 and EtAA values and adjusts the gas composition and total flow to maintain the set target values. The minimum flow setting for Et Control mode safeguards the patient by maintaining at least the minimum set flow delivered to the patient. Increasing the minimum flow does not affect the speed of change to achieve target concentrations. Safety mechanisms protect the patient during Et Control mode. Safety mechanisms include the delivery of increased flows when temporary issues arise. For example, a leak detected in the patient sampling system. Automatic return to active Et Control resumes when the issue is resolved. Automatic exit from Et Control occurs for issues that require clinician interaction to resolve or cannot be resolved during a case. For example, airway module calibration required. Manual re-entry into Et Control is required. Checks occur before active Et Control is allowed and continue to run while in Et Control. The Et Control fresh gas sample check guards against incorrect delivery due to faulty airway module readings. The Et Control system check and Et Control leak check guard against incorrect delivery due to sample line issues such as leaks. The Et Control supervisor is an additional safeguard to ensure that the system is able to control gas and agent delivery to meet the targets. See “Safety mechanisms” for more information.

Et Control mode examples The display changes through a cycle of fresh gas control to Et Control mode and during a setting change in Et Control mode are shown in the following examples. The electronic flow tube, numerics, and quick key areas on the display are important areas to focus on during Et Control mode.
Fresh gas control example
During fresh gas control before entering Et Control mode, the total flow is set to 2.0 l/min with 50% O2 and agent is set at 3.0 of Sev as shown in the quick keys. The actual gas flow matches the set total flow. Notice that the patient inspired and expired sevoflurane (Fi Sev and Et Sev) and the inspired and expired oxygen (FiO2 and EtO2) are different than what is set. The flowing gas and agent mixes with the existing gas in the breathing system, enriching the mixture inspired by the patient (Fi Sev and FiO2). Patient gas exchange affects the mixture expired by the patient (Et Sev and EtO2).

On entering Et Control mode, the display changes. The system begins to adjust the delivery of gas and agent to reach the target settings. The vaporizer output shows at the top of the electronic flow tubes. The quick keys show Et Control settings. The target EtO2 is 50%, the minimum flow is Min, and the target EtSev is 3.0. Notice that the gas flows have changed to low flows. The patient expired sevoflurane (Et Sev %) and expired O2 % (EtO2) are at the target settings.

Et Control Option
Safety mechanisms Safety mechanisms include Et Control system check, Et Control leak check, Et Control fresh gas sample check, and Et Control supervisor. The safety mechanisms function automatically when entering Et Control mode. These checks are run during Et Control mode independent of the tests performed during the preoperative checkout.
Et Control system check
The Et Control system check verifies that there are no leaks in the patient sampling system. If the patient is pre-oxygenated prior to entering Et Control and there are no leaks detected, this check does not run. Otherwise, the check is run automatically when Et Control mode is entered. During the check, the system delivers a high flow of O2 with agent for up to 90 seconds to check for sample line leaks. When the Et Control system check passes, the Et Control leak check starts and active Et Control begins. The system enters Et Control increased flow if the check does not pass. An Et Control system check may be needed to re-enter Et Control mode.
Et Control leak check
The Et Control leak check runs after the Et Control system check passes. The CO2 and O2 are tracked for movement toward ambient. (Ambient CO2 is 0% and ambient O2 is 21%.) If a leak is detected, the check fails and the system enters Et Control increased flow.
Et Control fresh gas sample check
The Et Control fresh gas sample check verifies the calibration of the airway module. This check runs approximately every 3 minutes while in Et Control mode. Using the fresh gas module, a fresh gas sample is taken from the anesthesia system instead of from the sample line at the breathing circuit. The fresh gas reading is compared to the expected fresh gas output. If the reading is out of limit, the check fails. The airway module may need calibration. Automatic exit of Et Control occurs if the check does not pass.
Et Control supervisor
Et Control supervisor is a safety measure to prevent incorrect delivery of O2 and agent. The system enters fresh gas control in the event of an Et Control supervisor failure. Automatic exit of Et Control occurs if the target agent and target O2 are not achieved.
Et Control increased flow
Certain issues during Et Control cause the fresh gas flow to automatically be set to 6 l/min. Et Control remains active during this increased flow state. The fresh gas concentrations are delivered to maintain a steady state; therefore, changes to new Et target settings may be slower. Most of there issues are temporary and the normal flow control is resumed automatically when the issue is resolved. When an increased flow condition is caused by a sample line leak, resume flow control through the Et Control menu. For all increased flow conditions, help information is available in the Et Control menu.
