2.7 Infection prevention
- Regarding infection prevention, hospital guidelines have to be followed. This includes the
reprocessing of the device after usage on infectious patients (particularly the device surfaces)
but also the adequate use of bacteria filters. More information regarding infection prevention in
the context of COVID-19 is provided in the Dräger 2019-nCoV infection prevention customer
letters for anesthesia and intensive care and their supplements, please refer to the following

2.8 Filters & humidification
- Only mechanical filters are suitable in long-term ventilation because with electrostatic
filters, the filtering performance is reduced when they become too humid. The use of mechanical
filters also ensures that the excess gas or gas that leaves the breathing system when the hand
bag is detached will not be contaminated.
