EZchange canister mode
Use the optional EZchange canister mode for continued ventilation of
the patient while changing the absorber canister. The EZchange
canister mode seals the breathing circuit when the canister holder is
down. While the absorber canister is out of the breathing circuit, the
patient re-breaths exhaled gases without any gas passing through the
absorbent.
Systems with EZchange canister mode have a label on the canister
holder. An EZchange canister has side rails that fit in the EZchange
canister holder.
