(such as compressed air) will falsify

concentration.
Using the ventilator in a contaminated environment may be dangerous.
Excessive ventilation modes can increase the temperature of the patient's breathing air
up to 43° C. Normal ambient temperatures counterbalance this effect.
Only use patient tubing and accessories listed in chapters 1.2 (Product combination)
and 12 (List of accessories). Using other patient tubing or accessories not intended for
use with the ventilator may impair device performance and safety.
When operating normally or in the event of the first fault, the tube system can be
contaminated with body fluids or exhaled gases by the ventilator up to the expiration
valve.
Burns may be caused by antistatic or electro-conductive patient tubing when using
electrical high-frequency surgical instruments at the same time. Therefore, do not use
antistatic or electro-conductive patient tubing or lines.
Never pull on patient tubing or electrical cables. This may cause the device to tip over
or drop.
