Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
blocked HME filter or filter in this position at the
Y-piece, the measurement system would produce
negative pressure situations in the patient’s lungs.
Observing the resistance and compliance
WARNING!
Risk due to additional components in breathing
circuit
When additional components are used or in the
case of hose configurations that differ from the
standard or recommended hose configurations,
the inspiratory and expiratory breathing
resistances may exceed the standard
requirements.
If such configurations are used, the user must
pay particular attention to the measured values.
Observe the instructions for use of the
additional components.
WARNING!
Risk of increased rebreathing
If coaxial hoses are used, leakages between the
inner and outer hose cannot be detected during
the leak test.
To avoid insufficient gas exchange and
rebreathing of CO
2, monitor the measured gas
concentration extremely carefully.
WARNING!
Risk due to incorrect measured values
Replacing the breathing hoses, filters,
vaporizers, or soda lime may change the
calculated leakage and compliance values of
the anesthesia machine and affect the therapy.
– Perform a leakage and compliance test after
replacing breathing hoses, particularly
extendable hoses, vaporizers, and soda
lime.
– Perform a leakage and compliance test after
adjusting the length of extendable hoses.
