Warnings
• Condensate can collect and occlude ventilator circuits. Always position
ventilator circuits so that fluid condensate drains away from the patient.
• Always connect a bacteria filter to the expiratory inlet of the ventilator.
Otherwise the function of the expiratory channel may be degraded.
• Do not use a filter or heat-moisture exchanger (HME) between the
nebuliser and patient airway.
