Assembly and preparation
1. Select suitable accessories for the respective patient category.
When applying tidal volumes in the transition range for a specific patient
category, use the smaller breathing bag and the smaller breathing circuit.
2. WARNING
Risk due to particles and dust
In order to protect the patient from particles and dust, a filter must be used
between the inspiratory limb of the breathing system and the patient.
► Use a filter at the Y-piece or at the inspiratory port.
WARNING
Risk of infection
The breathing system may be contaminated with infectious agents. The
following causes may be present:
– No bacteria filters have been used at the Y-piece or at the expiratory port.
– The breathing system is being used for the first time.
Perform the following measures:
► Reprocess the breathing system before the first use.
► Reprocess the breathing system if necessary.
► 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.
► Do not use extendable hoses to ventilate neonates.
