1.2.5 Filters
Because PTS 2000 flow sensors are susceptible to contamination
and condensation, two reusable filters are provided with the
PTS 2000: the Re/Flex filter is installed in-line with the high flow
inlet port, and the low flow input filter is installed in-line with
the low flow inlet port. These filters eliminate contaminants
from the gas flow before it passes through the flow transducers.
The reusable Re/Flex filter is designed for repeated autoclaving,
while the D/Flex filter must be discarded after use. Both filters
have barbed connections at both ends and require a silicone
coupling at the output port which connects to the tester.
An arrow on the top each filter indicates air flow direction.
These components are identified in Figure 1-10.

2.5.4.11 I time
I TIME represents Inspiratory Time. I TIME is the duration in
seconds that the measure of HIGH FLOW is continually higher
than the set threshold level. The starting point of I TIME is
considered valid when at least 250 msec of HIGH FLOW data is
measured above the threshold level. I TIME is measured in
seconds (sec).

2.5.4.12 E time
E TIME is a shortened expression for Expiratory Time. E TIME is
the duration in seconds that the measure of HIGH FLOW is
continually less than, or equal to, the set threshold level. The
starting point of E TIME is considered valid when at least 250
msec of HIGH FLOW data is measured equal to, or below, the
threshold level. E TIME is measured in seconds (sec).

2.5.4.13 I:E ratio

The I:E RATIO is the proportion between Inspiratory Time and
Expiratory Time where the larger is expressed as a multiple of
the smaller.
When I Time > E Time (and E Time is non-zero),
I:E:RATIO=I TIME / E TIME; format XX.X:1 or XXX:1.
When I Time=E Time (and non-zero), I:E:RATIO=1.00:1.
When E Time > I Time (and I Time is non-zero),
I:E:RATIO=E TIME / I TIME; format 1:XX.X1 or 1:XXX

2.5.4.14 Minute volume

MINUTE VOLUME is an estimate of volume flow in the next
minute based on the duration of a current breath. It is expressed
as the following equation:
MINUTE VOLUME = VOLUME current x BREATH RATE current
MINUTE VOLUME has the same optional unit measures as
VOLUME but has no selectable trigger levels.

4.1 Clearing data
This section provides instructions for clearing data entered into
the PTS 2000: zeroing pressure transducers, clearing peak
pressure values, and clearing breathing parameters.

4.1.1 Zero high pressure

The following steps describe how to zero the pressure transducer
and reset the high pressure baseline to 0 ± .1 psig. This can be
accomplished on any screen where the HIGH PRESSURE
parameter is displayed.

NOTE:
Each time the PTS 2000 power switch is turned off and on,
the pressure transducers are automatically zeroed. Do not
apply pressure to the low or high pressure ports during
power up.

1. If necessary, disconnect high pressure tube from high

pressure port on the PTS 2000. This removes any
residual pressure.
2. To zero the pressure transducer, press ESC/CLEAR key.
The high pressure baseline resets to zero (0).

4.1.2 Zero low pressure

The following steps describes how to zero the pressure
transducer and reset the low pressure baseline to 0 ± .4.

Calibration and specifications 5 5

...................................................................
5.1 PTS 2000 calibration
PTS 2000 units are calibrated before shipment and are shipped
with a Certificate of Calibration. A calibration label specifying
the calibration date and the next calibration due date is located
on the PTS 2000 back panel. The certificate also shows the unit’s
model and serial numbers. Calibrations must be performed by
the manufacturer. Section 5.2 instructs how to pack and ship
the PTS 2000.

5.1.1 Certificate of calibration

Both new and recalibrated PTS 2000 test instruments are
delivered with a Certificate of Calibration which certifies that all
materials, components, and workmanship, used in the
manufacture of the instrument, are in strict accordance with all
published specifications. The tests are based on standards and
instrumentation whose accuracy is traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
All PTS 2000 calibrations are performed by the manufacturer
only. For recalibrations, return the unit as defined in
Section 5.2.
Perform recalibration on the PTS 2000 every 12 months.
Recalibration is based on normal usage of four hours per day,
five days per week, with a total of 1,040 operational hours per
12 months.

Caution
Do not use the PTS 2000 if the unit has been dropped, or if
liquid penetrates the unit.

7.1 Replacing O2 sensor
The oxygen sensor should be replaced every two years or as
often as necessary. The sensor’s life depends on the operating
environment. The sensor’s life span is reduced if used in an
environment of higher temperatures or one that is oxygen rich.
To change the oxygen sensor in the PTS 2000 (version 4.0
firmware), follow these instructions:
1. Turn off power to PTS 2000 and unplug from power source.
2. Remove six small screws that fasten top cover of PTS 2000.
Lift off top cover.
3. Locate oxygen sensor.

NOTE:
O2 sensor is located behind front panel as shown in
Figure 7-1.

4. Disconnect cable that connects sensor to PCB.

5. Unscrew sensor from manifold.
