You can consult the documents in the “Documents” section to troubleshoot your device.

Datex-Ohmeda GEM 9100 is a critical care ventilator that supports multiple breathing modes for the comfort of the patient. It belongs to the Datex-Ohmeda Medical Equipment family. The company was bought by General Electric’s Healthcare in 2003. In comparison to its peers, this is one of the newest models. Being released in 2020, it has the ability to switch between a battery energy source and electricity.  The GEM 9100 also has features like pulse oximetry, capnography, and respiratory mechanics. The price is reported to be £4,500.00 GBP which is near $7500 CAD (with the assumption that every British Pound is $1.64 CAD as per the exchange rate provided by Google on January 31^st, 2023) for a refurbished model by the biomedical equipment marketplace website DotMed.

The ventilator weighs approximately 300 pounds, and it supports different modes, which are: VCV, PCV, SIMV, PSVPro with apnea backup. It contains a flow and oxygen sensors which need to be changed approximately every 12 months.

The installation is similar to other ventilation machines by GE Healthcare such as Datex-Ohmeda Aetiva/5 or Datex-Ohmeda Avance. It uses the Tool-free installation technic called Selectetec where the manifold will interlock and isolate the vaporizers which will ensure the safety of the patient and the safe usage of the machine.

Some common failures of the machine, which have been resolved in the attached service manual include:

•   Low pressure leak,
•   Port valve servicing,
•   Low oxygen monitor.
