NOTE:
• For optimal ventilator operation, use HAMILTON
MEDICAL breathing circuits or other circuits that
meet the specifications given in Appendix A, Specifi-
cations. When altering the HAMILTON MEDICAL
breathing circuit configurations (for example, when
adding accessories or components), make sure not
to exceed these inspiratory and expiratory resistance
values of the ventilator breathing system, as required
by EN 794-1/IEC 60601-2-12: adult, 6 cmH2O at
60 l/min; pediatric, 6 cmH2O at 30 l/min; and infant,
6 cmH2O at
5 l/min).
• Any bacteria filter, HME, or additional accessories in
the expiratory limb may substantially increase flow
resistance and impair ventilation and lead to alarms.
• To ensure that all breathing circuit connections are
leak-tight, perform the tightness test every time you
install a circuit or change a circuit part.
• Regularly check the water traps and the breathing
circuit hoses for water accumulation. Empty as
required.
• For neonatal patients with body weights > 7 kg, you
may want to select the pediatric patient type. This
prevents the need to change circuits and calibrate
the flow sensor should you later decide that your
patient requires more support.
• Do not combine the Infant CO
2
airway adapter and
the adult flow sensor. Artifacts during the measure-
ment are possible.
