Background
The Siemens Servo 900 is a ventilator that helps a patient breathe effectively. The 900C was used to administer vaporized anesthetic gas, nitrous oxide, oxygen and air with the patient's breaths. Also being used in intensive care units for patients, the Servo 900 is used for those who needs intensive breathing support especially during times of surgery. The 900C could also be used to aid ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and negative end-expiratory pressure (NEEP). Used for children and adults, the Servo 900 also monitored a number of parameters, such as airway pressure, tidal volume, and respiratory rate. Add-on units could measure carbon dioxide production and ventilator parameters. Alarms could be set at desired values for the monitored parameters.

Identification
The Siemens Servo 900 consists of two separate rate units. Having the pneumatic unit which comprises the gas conduction system with two pressure transducers, two flow transducers and two servo values. Each of these transducers delivers values to its contributing unit. Each electronic unit comprises three controlling systems, two for regulation of inspiration and another for regulation. These controlling systems will be dependent on the controls labelled "Timing" and "MODE".
