A mechanical deficiency in an anesthesia ventilator was identified during a preoperative machine check. A pressure regulator in a cold evaporator (CE) system and a higher pressure regulator in an anesthesia ventilator malfunctioned simultaneously and induced leakage in the ventilator circuit. The pressure regulator in the CE system failed probably due to a foreign body in the valve seat, which resulted in increased pressure in the supply system (from 4.0±0.5kgf•(cm2)-1 to 6.3kgf•(cm2)-1). In addition to this, the higher pressure regulator in the ventilator was also damaged and, consequently, non-reduced pressure was loaded into the ventilator circuit. As the circuit tubes were supposed to take lower pressures, only it eventually ruptured and leakage started. This accident indicates the importance of preoperative anesthesia machine checks, regular preventive maintenance, periodical overhauls and safety measures against unexpected increases in central supply pressures.
