Instructions for use Zeus Infinity Empowered SW 2.n
Replacing or filling the CO2 absorber
Instructions on absorber operation
When the breathing system is not used:
Only fill the absorber cannister just before use!
Zeus IE can be used with disposable
Drägersorb CLIC CO
2 absorbers or reusable CO2
absorbers.
Filling the reusable CO2 absorber
Recommendation: Use only Drägersorb 800 Plus
or Drägersorb FREE.
Do not use any fracture lime! Increased dust yield
may impair the functionality of Zeus IE.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
For operation without CO
2 monitoring (gas analy-
sis failed or sample line blocked), set a fresh-gas
flow that is higher than the minute volume to pre-
vent an increase in the inspiratory CO
2 concentra-
tion.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
There is no CO
2 absorption while replacing the
absorber! Monitor inspiratory CO2 and set fresh-
gas flow higher than minute volume if necessary
to prevent an increase in inspiratory CO
2 concen-
tration.
CAUTION
After replacing the absorber, check that the
breathing system is positioned horizontally in the
mount to prevent a loss of gas.
CAUTION
Immediately after replacing the absorber during
operation, proceed directly with a check for leak-
tightness by conducting manual ventilation and
perform a leak test at the next opportunity to elim-
inate possible leaks.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not flush soda lime in the anesthesia sys-
tem with dry gases for an unnecessarily long
period of time!
The soda lime loses moisture. If the level of
moisture falls below the minimum, undesira-
ble reactions usually occur, irrespective of the
type of lime and the inhalation anesthetic be-
ing used:
–reduced CO
2 absorption
– increased heat development in the CO
2 ab-
sorber and hence a high breathing-gas
temperature
– Formation of CO
– Absorption and/or decomposition of inha-
lation anesthetic
CAUTION
If you do not use an IBF absorber filter, the blower
may become contaminated.
