WARNING
Risk of infection
The device and the breathing system can be contaminated with pathogens. The
following causes may be present:
– No bacteria filters have been used at the Y-piece or at the expiratory port.
– The device and the breathing system are used for the first time.
Perform the following measures:
► Reprocess the device and the breathing system before the first use.
► Reprocess the device and the breathing system when necessary.
► Perform the reprocessing in accordance with the reprocessing instructions
supplied with the product.
► To prevent future contamination, use bacteria filters close to the patient.
CAUTION
Risk due to too low tidal volumes
The hose configuration can influence the values for leakage, compliance,
resistance, and the therapy. Consequently, the tidal volume, for example, may be
too high or too low.
► Perform a leakage test after replacing breathing hoses, particularly extendable
hoses, vaporizers, soda lime, or other components.
► Perform a leakage test after changing the length of extendable hoses.
► Do not use extendable hoses to ventilate neonates.
2. Assemble the breathing circuit and connect it to the Y-piece and nozzles on the
breathing system. Observe the following information: "Permissible hose
configurations", page 87.
When attaching or removing the breathing hoses, always hold them by the
connection sleeve and not by the hose itself.
