Note: The leak test should be performed each time
the absorbent, breathing hoses, patient

mode takes approximately 90 seconds. System
compliance is then determined for volume
correction and the overall system is checked for
leaks in the breathing system. The breathing bag
and hose are also checked. Leakage is tested in
the mechanical branch and in the overall system.
