A200SP Absorber 7 User Manual
Description
3.1.4 Absorbent Capacity
The canster nner contaner (1) holds 13 kg (equvalent to
1500 ml) of loose absorbent
DO NOT OVERFILL - see secton 53
Alternatvely, a standard sze pre-pack unt can be used n the

3.2 Inspiratory and Expiratory Non-return
Valves (NRV)
The valves are postoned on the top of the manfold block (1)
and control the drecton of the gas flow through the system
Each valve conssts of a dsc located over a valve seat The
dscs operate by gravty and are retaned by gudes to prevent
lateral movement
The valves are vsble through the top cover (2) and the
operaton of each valve can be vsually checked as the patent
breathes n and out
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE ABSORBER IS MOUNTED
UPRIHT SO THAT THE VALVE DISS MOVE IN A TRULY
VERTIAL PLANE, WITH THE VALVE SEATS HORIZONTAL
3.3 Bag/Ventilator Switch
The swtch (1) can be set to bag or ventlator postons See

Ventlator mode
In ‘Ventlator’ mode the reservor bag s closed off from the

Bag mode
The breathng bag acts as an addtonal over-pressure
protecton devce, preventng pressure exceedng 60 cmHO
WARNIN
If no ventlator s connected to the absorber, care must be
taken to ensure that the bag/ventlator swtch s kept n the
‘Bag’ poston, to avod gross loss of gas from the breathng
