TROUBLESHOOTING

2.0 DIAGNOSTICS 2.1 ERROR CODES The MaxVenturi series of products contains internal programming designed to indicate common errors that occur during the use and maintenance of the device. The analyzer has a self-test feature built into the software to detect faulty calibrations, oxygen sensor failures, and low battery voltage. When errors occur in the function of the oxygen analyzer assembly portion of the device, error codes are displayed to signify to the end user or service technician the type of error and corrective action(s) needed to restore proper function of the device. Listed below are the types of error codes displayed, the types of error they may signify, and the corrective action(s) needed to restore proper function.

E02: No signal from sensor Possible Errors: No sensor attached. No signal is being sent through the cable to the analyzer. Corrective action: Disconnect and reconnect the sensor. Unit should perform an auto calibration and should read 20.9%. Should the unit fail to calibrate properly, see troubleshooting section of this manual.

E03: No valid calibration data available Possible Errors: Calibration is occurring when oxygen levels are not at room air or 100% oxygen. Unit is not in thermal equilibrium. Corrective action: Make sure the unit has reached thermal equilibrium. Perform calibration as described in user manual.

E04: Battery below minimum operating voltage Possible Errors: Battery power is low. Corrective action: Replace the batteries as described in replacement procedures section of this manual.

CAL Err St: O2 Sensor reading is not stable Corrective action: Wait for displayed oxygen reading to stabilize when calibrating the device at 100% oxygen. Wait for unit to reach thermal equilibrium. (Note this can take up to one half hour if the device is stored in temperatures outside its operating temperature range.)

CAL Err lo: Sensor voltage too low Corrective action: Repeat calibration routine as described in user manual. If unit repeats this error more than three times, refer to troubleshooting section of this manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAL Err hi: Sensor voltage too high Corrective action: Repeat calibration routine as described in user manual. If unit repeats this error more than three times, refer to troubleshooting section of this manual.

CAL Err Bat: Battery voltage is too low to recalibrate. Corrective Actions: Replace batteries (See replacement procedures section 4.6.) Repeat calibration routine to insure proper function.

2.2 FLOW DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 2.2.1 Background The MaxVenturi series of products uses the venturi effect to entrain room air by using a stream of oxygen flowing perpendicular to the entrainment port. The output of mixed oxygen and air can be affected by various factors – the velocity of the oxygen exiting the orifice (affected by pressure and orifice size), the shape and position of the diffuser, the length and diameter of tubing attached to the exit port of the device, the type of user interface, and the presence and type of inlet filter. A test system was developed by Maxtec to measure the flow characteristics of the MaxVenturi device and to detect product failures or defects. Note: The flow diagnostic procedure must be performed with this test system setup to ensure correct diagnostic data.

TROUBLESHOOTING

3.0 TROUBLESHOOTING This section contains information to assist the Service Technician in determining possible faults affecting the performance of the MaxVenturi device. The MaxVenturi device is comprised of several subassemblies. For sake of troubleshooting; the MaxVenturi analyzer is the portion of the device that contains the printed circuit board, the plastic cover, the overlay, and any other parts permanently attached to those components. This subassembly is only replaceable and cannot be repaired. Another subassembly of the MaxVenturi is the sensor. This subassembly is not repairable in the field, such that if failures occur with the sensor, it will need to be replaced. The following section is a list of problems that may occur and possible causes of that failure. PROBLEM: Flow does not reach 55 LPM (120 LPM for the High Flow MaxVenturi) even with the flow valve wide open. POSSIBLE CAUSE(S): • • •

The inlet pressure of the oxygen supply may be too low. Check the pressure of the gas entering the device. Make sure the inlet pressure falls between 45-55 psi. (Consult user manual for flow ranges at pressures outside of this range). If the inlet pressure is within range, remove the device from its fixture and tilt the unit back and forth to see if the ball-float rolls without impedance. If it sticks or hesitates, see repair procedure 4.2. If the inlet pressure is within range, and the ball-float rolls without impedance, the MaxVenturi orifice may be plugged or defective. To check orifice and/or repair it see repair procedure 4.5.

PROBLEM: The oxygen level on the display does not reach 100%, even with the oxygen control knob fully open. POSSIBLE CAUSE(S): • •

The device needs to be calibrated. If the unit is being used with oxygen concentrations close to 100%, it is best to calibrate the device at 100%. Refer to the calibration section of the user manual to follow the 100% oxygen calibration routine. If the oxygen level on the display does not reach 95%, check that the correct needle valve is in the O2% Control Valve. See repair section 4.4.

PROBLEM: The oxygen level displayed does not go as low as the level indicated in the specifications, even with the oxygen control knob completely closed. POSSIBLE CAUSE(S): • • • •

The device needs to be calibrated. Refer to calibration section of the user manual. Ensure that the humidifier, patient circuit, and patient interface being used are on the approved list of disposables. Ensure that the room air inlet filter is not soiled or wet. Replace the filter if needed. Make sure that the nasal canula or other tubing is not occluded.

PROBLEM: Unit fails to energize. POSSIBLE CAUSE(S): • • • •

The batteries are exhausted. Replace batteries following the repair procedure found in Section 4.6. The batteries are oriented incorrectly. Reinstall the batteries in the correct orientation. The batteries are not contacting the terminals. Check for loose connection. The analyzer screen is damaged. See replacement procedure 4.1.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: The analyzer gives an E02 code when a sensor is connected to the cable. POSSIBLE CAUSES: • •

The sensor has expired. Check that voltage from sensor is present. Testing the sensor on another unit may indicate if the sensor is broken or if the analyzer is defective. The sensor cable is broken. Disconnect, and then reconnect the sensor. If the error persists, check for a short in the sensor cable. The cable can be broken when excessive force is used to pull the sensor out of its port by pulling on the cord instead of the sensor. To replace sensor cable see replacement procedure 4.3.

PROBLEM: The MaxVenturi unit does not pass the Flow Diagnostic Procedure at one or more flow levels AND the MaxVenturi unit does pass the Oxygen Flow Diagnostic Procedure at one or more flow levels. POSSIBLE CAUSES: Note - possible causes are listed from most to least likely. • •

•

Proceed to section 4.5 to replace the orifice. (Section 4.5 applies only to new models). The diameter of the orifice is incorrect due to damage, manufacturing defect, or the wrong orifice for the version of MaxVenturi is used. Check the diameter of the orifice using pin gauges. The diameter of the 0-60 LPM MaxVenturi orifice should be .020” and not less .019” and not more than .021”. The diameter of the 0-120 LPM High Flow MaxVenturi orifice should be .046” and not less .045” and not more than .047” Use a smaller pin gauge first and increase the size of the pin gauge until the pin just barely slides through the hole and the next largest pin gauge does not fit. If the size of the hole is too small or too large follow the replacement procedure in section 4.5. (Section 4.5 applies only to new models). The flow meter has a leak around its seals. This can be caused by a missing or pinched o-ring. Visually check to make sure the o-ring has a seal around all its edges. If the o-rings appear to be correctly positioned, connect an oxygen source to the unit and use snoop or soapy water around the perimeter of the flow meter to check for leaks. The inner diameter of the diffuser tube is incorrect due to damage or manufacturing defect. Check the inner diameter of the tube with pin gauges. The MaxVenturi smallest tube diameter should be .252” ±.005. Start with smaller pin gauges that fit and proceed until the pin just barely fits in the hole and the next larger pin gauge does not fit. Also check the if the diffuser tube has moved or is loose. The air inlet filter is occluded, dirty, damaged, or wet. Visually inspect it for occlusion, dirt, damage or moisture. Replace if necessary.

PROBLEM: The MaxVenturi unit does not pass the Flow Diagnostic at one or more flow levels AND The MaxVenturi unit does not pass the Oxygen Flow Diagnostic Procedure at one or more flow levels. POSSIBLE CAUSES: Note – Possible causes are listed from most to least likely. •

• •

A foreign object has partially or fully occluded the opening of the orifice. It is important that any time the orifice is suspect that it be checked for foreign material. This procedure is explained in the orifice repair section 4.5. (Section 4.5 applies only to new models). If a particle is found in the hole remove it by inserting a small pin gauge into the hole and then blowing out the cavity with air. Be sure the particle is removed before reinstalling the flow control valve. The orifice has a manufacturing defect. Replace the orifice as described in section 4.5. (Section 4.5 applies only to new models). The flow meter has a manufacturing defect. This can best be detected by replacing the flow meter with a flow meter that is known to be correct and passes the Flow Diagnostic Procedure. Replacing the flow meter with a good one and performing the Flow Diagnostic Procedure again on the unit will either determine the flow meter is defective or rule it out.

PROBLEM: Air does not come out the outlet of the MaxVenturi when the on/off valve is open, the flow control valve is partially open, and an oxygen source is connected.

REV. H

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSES: • • •

The oxygen source is not on. Check the valve on the cylinder or any other supply valves. The oxygen source is depleted. Check the pressure of the gas on the cylinder. The connections between the oxygen cylinder and the MaxVenturi have a leak. Check for leak and tighten connections if necessary.

PROBLEM: Gas flows from the MaxVenturi, when the on/off valve is open but the flow control valve is closed as well as the O2% control knob. POSSIBLE CAUSES: •

• •

An o-ring is missing from either of the two control valves. Remove each of them and check that there are two orings on each of them. Sometimes the smaller o-ring will come off of the valve and be lodged inside the opening. Remove it from the opening with a pair of tweezers and reapply it. When the valves are reinserted, be sure to check that the o-ring is seated properly on the groove. An o-ring is damaged on either of the two control valves. Remove each of them and check for damage. A needle valve is broken. Check that the control valves needles are not broken or that the end of the needle valve has come loose.

PROBLEM: The ball in the flow meter is jumpy. POSSIBLE CAUSE: •

A particle is on the ball in the flow meter or in the tube of the flow meter. To clean the flow meter, see Section 4.2.

PROBLEM: The ball in the flow meter suddenly drops and won’t return to higher flow levels. POSSIBLE CAUSE: •

The orifice has become occluded with a foreign object. See the procedure to check for debris in Section 4.5.

PROBLEM: One or both of the buttons on the MaxVenturi have to be pushed really hard to work.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: • • • •

The foam sticker under the overlay is missing or has become dislodged. Circuit board buttons have become warn out. Circuit board has broken out of cover. To repair, replace the front cover/circuit board as described in section 4.1.

PROBLEM: The battery symbol appears on the LCD screen. POSSIBLE CAUSE: •

Comment [MS1]:

The batteries are low in power. Replace the batteries – see section 4.6.

PROBLEM: The display reads “CAL Err lo” and the user has tried to calibrate the sensor 3 times.

REV. H

TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Max250 Sensor is defective or dying. Replace the sensor with a new sensor – if available. Calibrate the unit. This will determine if it is the sensor or the circuit board (analyzer). If no sensor is available, then do the following to determine if the sensor is bad. 1. Disconnect the sensor from the cable of the MaxVenturi. 2. Use a multi-meter to measure the mV output of the sensor. Contact one probe of the multi-meter to the center post of the connector and the second probe to the outside edge of the connector. The mV reading should be approximately 10-15 mV at standard pressure (Sea level). 3. To determine what the mV output of the user’s sensor is at standard pressure, use the following equation where P(u) is the barometric pressure at the location of the sensor in mbar, V(s) is the output voltage of the sensor in mV, and V(c) is the corrected output voltage in mV. V(c) = V(s) X 1013 mbar / P(u) 4. V(c) should fall within the 10-15 mV range. If V(c) falls below that range then the sensor needs to be replaced. Contact Maxtec Customer Service for a replacement sensor. If the V(c) falls within the correct range, reconnect the sensor and attempt to calibrate the unit again. Be sure to follow the correct procedure as outlined in the user manual for the MaxVenturi. If the problem persists contact customer service for a replacement MaxVenturi Analyzer Assembly and follow Section 4.1 to replace the assembly. PROBLEM: The display reads “CAL Err hi” and the user has tried to calibrate the sensor 3 times at 100% oxygen. POSSIBLE CAUSE: The Max250 Sensor is defective. Replace the sensor with a new sensor. Calibrate the unit at 100% oxygen following the user manuals instructions. This is done by completely blocking off the inlet of the MaxVenturi and leaving the sensor in its port. Turn the Flow control valve on and wait for the gas to equilibrate. Push the CAL button and hold it for 3 seconds or until the display reads CAL. If the unit calibrates then it is likely that the first sensor is defective. Contact customer service for a replacement Max250 sensor. If the unit fails to calibrate it is likely that the MaxVenturi Analyzer Assembly is damaged or defective. If the problem persists contact customer service for a replacement MaxVenturi Analyzer Assembly and follow Section 4.1 to replace the assembly. *If a replacement sensor is not readily available then the following procedure can be used to determine if the sensor is defective. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Disconnect the sensor from the cable of the MaxVenturi, leave the sensor in the sensor port. Connect a 100% oxygen supply to the oxygen inlet of the MaxVenturi. Plug the air inlet port, open the on/off valve of the unit and turn up the flow control valve. Use a multi-meter to measure the mV output of the sensor. Contact one probe of the multi-meter to the center post of the connector and the second probe to the outside edge of the connector. The mV reading should be approximately 45-75 mV at standard pressure (See level). 5. To determine what the mV output of the user’s sensor is at standard pressure, use the following equation where P(u) is the barometric pressure at the location of the sensor in mbar, V(s) is the output voltage of the sensor in mV, and V(c) is the corrected output voltage in mV. V(c) = V(s) X 1013 mbar / P(u) 6. V(c) should fall within the 45-75 mV range. If V(c) falls below that range then the sensor needs to be replaced. Contact Maxtec Customer Service for a replacement sensor.
