Using the ventilator 27
5.5 Ventilation with PEEP Valve
A PEEP valve can be fitted to the expiration tube on
the patient valve with an adapter.
This valve makes it possible to use positive end-
expiratory pressure (PEEP).
5.6 Ventilation with HME filter
A conventional heat and moisture exchange (HME)
filter with standard 15/22 mm connectors can be
fitted on the inspiration tube of the patient valve for
hygienic purposes and to condition the inspired air.
This will increase both inspiratory and expiratory
resistance. You should therefore monitor ventilation
pressure and ventilation volume very carefully.
A close watch must be kept for any increase in dead
space, especially in children.
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s
directions for use.
5.7 Ventilating with bacteria filter
To protect the patient and the environment from in-
fection, you can connect the upgrade set for the de-
vice outlet port filter between the device outlet port
and the ventilation tube. Always monitor the ex-
change of air at the device inlet carefully.
Follow the instructions for use for the device outlet
port filter upgrade set.
