Mounting the CO2 absorber to the
compact breathing system
Reusable CO2 absorber
Dismounting and emptying
1 Turn the CO
2 absorber (A) clockwise and
remove it from below.
2 Remove and dispose of the soda lime dust
filter
*
(B).
WARNING
Risk of high inspiratory CO2 values
If the soda lime is used too long, carbon
dioxide can no longer be completely
absorbed.
Check the color of the soda lime regularly,
especially if the inspiratory CO
2 value
increases unexpectedly. Replace if
necessary.
WARNING
Risk due to soda lime drying out
The soda lime loses moisture. If the moisture
falls below the minimum moisture, the
following adverse reactions occur
independent of the type of soda lime and
inhalational anesthetic used: Decreased CO
2
absorption, increased generation of heat in
the CO2 absorber resulting in increased
breathing gas temperature, formation of CO,
absorption and/or degradation of the
inhalational anesthetics.
– Do not use unnecessarily high fresh-gas
flows.
– Only use the supplemental O
2 delivery if
necessary.
– Do not leave the flow control valves open
unnecessarily long.
WARNING
Do not use soda lime based on potassium
hydroxide. Otherwise, there is a risk of CO
formation.
NOTE
Only use pelletized soda lime. Otherwise, there is
a risk of faulty measurement or incorrect delivery
and progressive damage to the breathing system
due to dust.
If conventional, non-pelletized soda lime is used,
then a soda lime dust filter must be used.
CAUTION
Risk of chemical burns
Soda lime is caustic and is a strong irritant for
eyes, skin, and airway.
Handle the soda lime carefully and do not spill it.
