Assembly and preparation
5.8 Connecting bacteria filters, HME, or catheter mounts
WARNING
Risk of CO2 rebreathing
Bacteria filters, HMEs, catheter mounts, and masks increase the resistance and
dead space of the breathing circuit.
► Note the manufacturer’s directions.
When using an HME, the measured flow may deviate from the actual expiratory
flow, because temperature and humidity of the breathing gas are reduced.
The flow and volume measurements can be adjusted for use with an HME. For
further information, see the following chapter: "Setting the HME
correction", page 75.
Connect the bacteria filter or HME to the elbow as follows:
● Connect the bacteria filter, HME or catheter mount (A) to the patient port on the
breathing circuit (B).
5.9 Connecting the CO2 sensor and the CO2 cuvette
(option)
1. Disconnect the elbow (A) from the flow sensor or pressure sensor.
2. Connect the CO
2 cuvette (C) to the flow sensor or pressure sensor so that the
windows point to the side.
3. Attach the elbow (A) to the CO
2 cuvette (C).
4. Push the CO
2 sensor (B) onto the CO2 cuvette (C), with the cable toward the
device.
5. Connect the CO
2 sensor (B) to the port on the device.
