The use of an HME filter is recommended! In this case, place the measuring probe
between the HME filter and the ventilator. The HME filter protects the airway adapter
from secretions and water vapor so that the adapter does not have to be replaced.
The measured gas values should be checked regularly for accuracy by conducting
comparative measurements. The gas section should be tested annually.
After inserting the probe, a leakage test of the EVE
TR
patient system is recommended.
The airway adapter must be replaced if moisture or condensation collect on the inside.
