may cause severe damage to internal pressure and flow
sensors, which may result in ventilator failure.
2.6.3 Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and
Nuclear Filter
In the event of environmental contamination by hazardous or
toxic substances, the air-inlet filter should be replaced with an
optional CBRN canister. CBRN canisters are designed for first-
response protection against nuclear, toxic, or biological
particulate material and chemical vapors, gases, and
mists/aerosols and tear gas.
The CBRN filter fits into the iVent
201
via an optional air inlet
adapter (item 504A0110-A0). First, remove the air inlet filter
from the iVent
201
by turning it counterclockwise. Then, fasten
the air inlet adapter to the CBRN filter by twisting it on
clockwise. Finally, screw the CBRN canister with the adapter
into the air inlet adapter.
