Setup with external humidifier
Please note:
•
Use an approved humidifier according to DIN EN ISO 8185 with a humidity out-
put of > 33 mg/l.
• Follow the manufacturer user’s manual.
• The humidifier should be positioned below the patient and the device, so that no
water can accumulate in the patient’s lungs or in the ventilator. If water accumu-
lates in the tube circuit, we recommend using water traps.
