8.1 How to use this chapter
This chapter describes how to repair the major ventilator subassemblies and their
components. These repair procedures include removal, installation, and adjustment, as
applicable. This chapter does not provide complete breakdowns of all assemblies and
complete disassembly information. Repair procedures are provided mostly for major
components. For a complete illustrated parts breakdown (IPB), refer to Chapter 9. Do not rely
exclusively on Chapter 9 for removal and installation of parts.

8.2 General repair safety

• When servicing the ventilator, be sure to familiarize yourself with, and adhere to all
posted and stated safety warning and caution labels on the ventilator and its components,
and on any service equipment and materials used. Failure to adhere to such warnings and
cautions at all times may result in injury or property damage.
• To prevent patient injury, do not use a ventilator if it requires repair.
• To prevent personal injury or death, do not attempt any ventilator service while a patient,
or other person, is connected to the ventilator.
• Use personal protective equipment whenever exposure to toxic fumes, vapor, dust
particles, blood pathogens, and other transmittable diseases and hazardous material can
be expected. If in doubt, consult an environmental health and safety specialist or an
industrial hygienist before servicing the ventilator.
• To prevent electrical shock hazard and possible personal injury, always disconnect
electrical power sources before servicing the ventilator. Follow accepted safety practices
for electrical equipment when testing or making equipment, adjustment, or repairs.
• To prevent possible personal injury, always disconnect air and oxygen sources from the
ventilator before service.
• To prevent possible personal injury, never attempt to push or pull a ventilator that is
installed on a cart, while the brakes are set on the casters.
• To prevent possible personal injury and equipment damage, make sure the brakes on the
casters are set to prevent inadvertent movement of the ventilator during service.
• To prevent possible personal injury and equipment damage, have someone assist you
when lifting the ventilator or any of its major components.
• Chemicals from a broken LCD panel are toxic when ingested. Use caution when handling
a GUI with a broken display panel.
• Replacing some ventilator parts requires the use of leak detector fluid to ensure a good gas
seal. Use extreme caution when using leak detector in the vicinity of electronics.
Thoroughly dry all components following use of leak detector.

8.3 General repair guidelines

Follow these general guidelines when servicing the ventilator.
• To prevent damage to electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive components, always follow
ESD guidelines when servicing the ventilator. Adhere to ESD control techniques when
repairing ESD sensitive components.
• Damage to components may occur due to overtightening of screws. Care should be taken
during reassembly not to overtighten screws where instructed.
• Use only recommended tools, test equipment, and service materials when servicing the
ventilator (Chapter 1).
• As you repair the ventilator, perform any applicable cleaning and inspection procedures
listed below.
• Visually inspect any removed ventilator parts, including those removed to gain access to a
suspected faulty part. Inspect the exposed area behind the removed parts as well. Clean
removed parts to facilitate further inspection as necessary.
• Investigate and determine the cause of any detected abnormality. Repair the unit or
contact Puritan Bennett Technical Support for help in diagnosing unresolved symptoms.
• Replace or repair all parts that are worn, missing, damaged, cracked, corroded, burnt,
warped, bent, disfigured, or broken. Consult Chapter 9 for parts availability.
• Leak-test pneumatic parts where indicated, following procedures in Section 8.7.
• Puritan Bennett recommends that customers or technical services personnel follow local
governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of battery
or other device components.
• The repair sections assume the patient system, flex arm, oxygen, and humidifier are
already removed from the ventilator.

8.4 Repair-related cleaning

The following cleaning guidelines pertain to parts that require cleaning while servicing the
ventilator. For procedures on periodic cleaning and sterilization of the ventilator and
accessories, refer to the 840 Ventilator System Operator's and Technical Reference Manual. For
periodic cleaning and inspection procedures that are required during a ventilator's
performance verification, refer to Chapter 5 in this manual. Replace all parts that cannot be
cleaned.
• Clean ventilator exterior surfaces before disassembly. Table 1-10 in Chapter 1 of this
manual lists acceptable cleaning and disinfecting agents. Use a clean, lint-free cotton
cloth. Allow cleaned ventilator parts and surfaces to air-dry.
• Vacuum ventilator interior using ESD safe equipment. Do not clean the ventilator interior
or exterior surface with high-pressure air.
• Clean or polish electrical contacts with a very fine abrasive paper or with a special tool
designed for such purposes. Do not bend contacts.

Service and repair 8
8.5 Electrical cables and pneumatic tubing
• To ensure proper reassembly, note or label wire and tube positions before disconnecting
parts.
• To avoid shredding a silicone tube when removing from a fitting, gently pull the tube
while turning. Do not attempt to remove silicone tubing from barbed fittings in
inspiratory module. Removal of tubing from non-barbed fittings only is permissible.
• Make sure all tubes, and harnesses or cables, are installed using tie wraps, as specified.
Make sure wiring does not interfere with, and cannot be damaged by, hinged or moving
ventilator parts.

8.6 Adhesive use

• For lubricants and resin-based adhesives, always verify the shelf-life expiration date has
not passed.
• When installing a part to be attached with adhesive, first remove the adhesive residue
using a suitable scraping tool that won't scratch the ventilator surface. Clean scraped
surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Be sure the application area is free of dust and
grease; then apply pressure, ensuring adhesive contact and bonding. Eliminate any
trapped air bubbles.
• Be careful when using any cleaners and solvents, as these may cause personal injury or
damage to ventilator surfaces. Use in a well-ventilated area.
• Replace any damaged warning and caution labels using the removal and installation
techniques described above.

Warning
The failure to replace damaged warning, caution, and identification labels may result in
personal injury or equipment/property damage.

8.7 Leak testing

Caution
Replacing some ventilator components requires the use of leak detector fluid to ensure a
good gas seal. Use extreme caution when using leak detector in the vicinity of electronics.
Thoroughly dry all components following use of leak detector.

1 Connect compressed gas sources to ventilator.

2 Using small brush, apply leak detector fluid (P/N 4-004489-00) to pneumatic
connections.
3 If a connection leaks, repair and retest module.
4 Dry all leak detector fluid from chassis.

8 Service and repair

8.8 Electrostatic discharge control

It is important to follow ESD control procedures whenever the ventilator is repaired.
Electrostatic discharge can permanently damage ESD sensitive microelectronic components
or assemblies when they are handled, and even when no direct contact is made with the
component or assembly. ESD damage may not be immediately detectable; however, ESD
damage will show up at a later time. It can manifest as a premature catastrophic failure of a
component or assembly, or as an intermittent failure, all of which can be difficult and costly
to locate.

8.8.1 ESD procedures and precautions

Follow these procedures and precautions to prevent ESD damage to the ESD-sensitive
microelectronic components and assemblies in the 840 Ventilator System.
• Use a personnel-grounding system. Before opening the ventilator lid or removing its
enclosure panels, ensure that a personnel grounding system such as P/N 4-018049-00
(wrist strap, static-dissipate mat, and ground cord) is worn correctly and is properly
connected to a reliable ground.
• Follow correct procedures when using an antistatic mat. Place tools, test equipment, and
the ESD sensitive device on the mat before starting repairs. Conduct all work on the mat.
Never place nonconducting items, i.e. foam cups, on the mat.
• Handle ESD sensitive components properly. Do not handle ESD sensitive component
connection points, connector pins, leads, or terminals.
• Keep nonconducting materials away from the work area. Static charges from
nonconducting material, (i.e. plastic containers, foam cups, synthetic clothing,
cellophane tape, etc.) cannot be removed by grounding. These items must be kept away
from the work area when handling ESD sensitive devices.
• Follow correct procedures for use of static-shielding bags. Store and transport all ESD
sensitive devices in static-shielding bags at all times, except when being worked on. Never
place more than one ESD sensitive device in a static-shielding bag. Never place static-
generating nonconducting material inside a static-shielding bag with an ESD sensitive
device. Place any faulty ESD-sensitive device in a static-shielding bag immediately after
removal, to prevent additional damage. Close the bag to ensure that the shield is effective.

8.9 Replacement part ordering

Ordering correct parts requires that you properly identify the ventilator version and part. To
replace a part that is not stocked or that is unavailable, order the next higher assembly. Retain
the part to be replaced until the replacement part is obtained, and compare the two for
compatibility, if possible.

8.10 Testing, calibration, and other post-service procedures

After you complete the ventilator repair, do the following before placing the ventilator on a
patient:
• Visually verify that all pneumatic and electrical parts are properly connected and that all
parts are properly installed. Then, with a light tug, verify that connections are secure and
that parts are securely attached. Listen for any uncharacteristic sounds (pneumatic
leaking, vibrations, grinding, squeaking, or others).
• Perform the additional service, testing, and calibration activities listed in Table 8-1. The
numbers in the columns indicate the sequence in which to perform these activities.
• Keep a maintenance log of all repairs. Make sure service records and other documentation
are completed.

NOTE:
Externally, there are no differences between the 10.4-inch GUI with or without the
TE CPU PCB, or the 9.4-inch GUI with or without the TE CPU PCB. Internally, the
GUI CPU PCBs differ in hardware components. Where applicable, the service
instructions make the distinction between the 10.4-inch GUI with Non-TE CPU
PCB and 10.4-inch GUI with TE GUI CPU PCB; or 9.4-inch GUI with Non-TE CPU
PCB and the 9.4-inch GUI with TE GUI CPU PCB. In all other cases involving the
GUI, the service instructions for the respective 9.4-inch or 10.4-inch GUIs with TE
CPU PCBs can be used interchangeably with those for GUIs with Non-TE CPU
PCBs.

The GUI, shown in Figure 8-1, is a detachable module that can be mounted on the optional
cart or shelf. When the ventilator is mounted on a shelf, an optional cable allows you to place
the GUI up to 10 ft from the BDU.

Caution
When reassembling the EMI shield, do not apply excessive force to the shield in the vicinity
of the CPU that may permanently deform the thermal pad on the TE GUI CPU PCB.
Permanent deformation could reduce or eliminate the thermal pad contact area between
the CPU heatsink and the EMI shield, causing increased CPU operating temperatures.

4 If you are installing a TE GUI CPU PCB, inspect the conductive thermal pad on the CPU
(U45) for damage prior to assembly. If the pad looks permanently deformed or damaged,
replace it with a new one before assembling. To do this, remove the damaged pad, then
peel the adhesive backing from one side of a new pad and adhere it to the CPU heatsink.
Ensure that the pad fits entirely on the heatsink with minimal overhanging edges
(Figure 8-34).

NOTE: If you are replacing an older GUI CPU PCB with a TE GUI CPU PCB, you will only
need the thermal pad from the bag of included hardware shipped with the GUI
PCB FRU kit.

5 Peel the remaining adhesive backing from the thermal pad.

8.15.7.3.2 Installing AC panel

1 Using needlenose pliers, connect wires to AC panel components (Figure 8-53):
• red wire to terminal 10 of relay
• black wire to terminal 12 of relay
• blue wire to top left-hand terminal of AC filter PCB
• brown wire to top right-hand terminal of AC filter PCB
• brown wire to middle left-hand terminal of compressor AC receptacle
• blue wire to middle right-hand terminal of compressor AC receptacle
2 Using 5/16-in. nutdriver, connect the two green ground wires to top left-hand ground
stud of AC panel.
3 Secure wires to wall of AC power distribution compartment using small tie wrap.
4 Install panel to BDU chassis using six screws. (Two screws also secure BPS connector
cover to panel.) Take care not to pinch wires between panel and chassis.
5 Connect ventilator and compressor power cords to AC panel, and BPS cable to BDU.
6 Install inspiratory module (Section 8.15.8.10).

8.15.8 Inspiratory module

Warning
Replacing key inspiratory module components requires the use of leak detector fluid to
ensure a good gas seal. Use extreme caution when using leak detector in the vicinity of
electronics. Thoroughly dry all components following use of leak detector.

8.15.8.1 Inspiratory module modifications

Earlier inspiratory modules used threaded air and oxygen inlets. Later versions use a common
manifold that allows the module to be easily configured for each style of connection.
When ordering a replacement inspiratory module, you must order two additional parts: the
inlets (air and oxygen), and the mounting brackets. There are five unique configurations
available to support the needs of various countries. Refer to Chapter 9 of this manual for part
numbers.
If replacing the inlet manifold only on an original module, refer to Chapter 9 to determine
the replacement parts required.

8.15.8.2 Additional noise suppression (ferrite cores)

Additional noise suppression has been added to the 840 ventilator, in form of three ferrite
cores on the air flow transducer harnesses (refer to Section 9.4.8.2 for part number). The cores
are now standard on new ventilators. When configuring a field unit for the NeoMode option,
you must add these ferrite cores to the unit.
Add the ferrites to the inspiratory module in accordance with the following instructions.
1 Remove the inspiratory module fascia panel. (Section 8.15.8.5.1)
2 Place the first of two latching ferrite cores around the lower third of the air flow
transducer harness (Figure 8-54).
3 Place the second latching ferrite core around the upper third of the air flow transducer
harness, allowing a minimum of 0.75 inches distance between the two cores.

Figure 8-54. Adding ferrites to air and oxygen transducer harnesses

4 Place the third core in the middle of the oxygen transducer harness, using care not to
pinch or damage the wires.
5 Visually inspect the cables and ensure that both of the latches are secure and that no
stress is being placed on any discrete wires.
6 Reinstall the fascia panel. (Section 8.15.8.5.2)

8.15.8.3 Inspiratory module O-rings

Caution
When replacing damaged O-rings, carefully remove and install to prevent damage to the
manifold ports.

Check for damaged O-rings as you disassemble the inspiratory module. If O-rings are
damaged, pry them off of the ports. Lubricate replacement O-rings with Krytox grease, then
gently stretch O-ring over base of the port and position in place.
Allow replaced O-rings to settle in place; then verify their integrity.

8.15.8.4 Air inlet filter (F2)

NOTE:
Replace the air inlet filter (F2) and O-ring every 10,000 hours. They are part of the
10,000-hour preventive maintenance kit.

8.15.8.4.1 Removing F2
1 Make sure air source is disconnected from ventilator.
2 Drain any condensate from air inlet filter bowl by unscrewing captive drain plug at
bottom (Figure 8-55). Tighten plug.
3 Unscrew bowl.
4 Unscrew filter.
