breathing system.

tested for leaks at the same time.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
The system will be pressurized during the leak
test.
To prevent patient injury, do not perform the
leak test with a patient connected to the
anesthesia machine.
WARNING!
Risk of misleading data
Changing the breathing hoses, vaporizers, or
soda lime can modify the calculated leak and
compliance values of the anesthesia machine
and influence the therapy settings.
Perform a leak test after the breathing hoses,
vaporizers, or soda lime have been replaced.
