WARNING
• To minimize the risk of bacterial contamination
or physical damage, handle bacteria filters with
care.
• To prevent patient or ventilator contamination,
always use a bacteria filter between the venti-
lator and the inspiratory limb of the patient
breathing circuit.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only breathing cir-
cuits intended for use in oxygen-enriched envi-
ronments. Do not use antistatic or electrically
conductive tubing.
