should be attached to the expiratory port of the
breathing system.
CAUTION!
Risk of gas measurement failure and device failure
Disinfectants can damage the sample gas line and
the diaphragm of the water trap.
Sample gas lines are single-use articles and must
not be disinfected.
WARNING!
Risk of gas measurement failure
If the water trap is used longer than intended,
the diaphragm may become brittle and allow
water and bacteria to enter the measurement
system. Such contamination affects the gas
measurement which may fail as a result.
The water trap must be replaced at least every
four weeks.
WARNING!
Risk of gas measurement failure and device
failure
If alcohol or cleaning agents/disinfectants come
in contact with the inside of the water trap, they
can damage the diaphragm and the
measurement system may fail as a result.
Do not use these substances and do not wash,
flush, or sterilize the water trap.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
If the APL valve becomes blocked due to e.g.
lines or cables being caught under the knob, the
patient may be endangered.
Route all cables away from the APL valve; do
not hang lines, hoses or cables, e.g. the sample
line, on or near the APL valve.
CAUTION!
Risk of contamination of the device
Do not put the device into operation without a water
trap.
