2.3.1 Overview of
flow paths
This section looks at three types of flow paths.
• Ventilation paths: How gas flows from the drive source (bag or
bellows) to and from the patient.
• Fresh gas paths: Common gas can flow from the machine
interface directly to the patient through the inspiratory check
valve, or through the absorber into the expiratory flow.
• Scavenged gas paths: APL or pop-off valve.
• Flow through the optional EZchange Canister: EZchange ON
and EZchange OFF (CO

bypass).
