Always use an anti-bacterial humidity and moisture exchanger (HME) filter
between the patient and the patient circuit, as shown below.
Connecting the Patient Circuit
Warning: Read carefully the Instructions For Use of patient circuit,
attached inside the patient circuit pack.
Note: The patient-side connector is standard 22 mm outer diameter
and 15 mm inside diameter. It must be connected to the female side
of an HME which then connects to an endotracheal device/
facemask or other airway management device that is in direct contact
with the patient. When connecting the airway management device to
the patient, follow the instructions for use provided with the device.
See Section 12.1.3. Additional recommended legally marketed components /
accessories for recommended legally marketed filters.
After connecting the patient circuit to the ventilator, verify that no caps are
installed on the patient connection port. Perform circuit testing by following
the instructions on the screen (see Section 9.2. Disconnect patient).
The patient may be ventilated by an endotracheal tube or facemask (non-
invasive ventilation). See Section 12.1.3. Additional recommended legally
marketed components / accessories for recommended legally marketed
endotracheal tubes and facemasks.
