Emptying the water trap
Two water traps are available for the Primus Infinity
Empowered: the WaterLock 2 and the Infinity ID
WaterLock 2. Only the Infinity ID water trap has the
Infinity ID label and the integrated tag on the back.
For more details about the water traps see also the
instructions for use of the water traps.

20 mL) without a cannula into the blue socket
(F).
3 Extract water, remove syringe and dispose of
full syringe as infectious hospital waste.
4 Slide the water trap back into its holder – until it
engages tangibly.
Dealing with the water trap exchange in-
terval for the Infinity ID water trap
To avoid damage to the gas measuring system, wa-
ter traps must be replaced at regular intervals. The
expiration date of Infinity ID water traps is automat-
ically calculated based on the date of first use. The
date of first use of a new water trap is set when
switching from standby to a ventilation mode. When
the expiration date is reached and the water trap
must be replaced an alarm is displayed (only
shown in Standby).

CAUTION
Risk of gas measurement failure
The diaphragm may become brittle and allow wa-
ter and bacteria to enter the measurement sys-
tem. Such contamination affects the gas meas-
urement which may fail as a result.
Infinity ID functionality should not be solely relied
upon for water trap exchange intervals, especially
if e.g. low-flow anesthesia is often applied.
CAUTION
Risk of misleading measured values
Silicone can enter the measuring cuvette and dis-
tort the gas measurement.
Do not spray the O-rings of the water trap holder
with silicone spray.
CAUTION
Risk of misleading measured values
Aerosols can damage the diaphragm and the
measurement system.
Do not use aerosols in the breathing system. The
water trap must not be used in combination with a
medication nebulizer!
