4.3 Connecting the breathing circuit
The disposable breathing circuit and the reusable breathing circuit
are connected to the device differently:
• Reusable breathing circuit: The measuring circuit connector
is connected directly to the device.
• Disposable breathing circuit: The adapter for the disposable
breathing circuit is permanently connected to the device.
The flexible oxygen tube and pressure measuring tube are
connected to the adapter for the disposable breathing
circuit.
4.3.1 Connecting the reusable breathing circuit
1. Connect the ventilation hose to the ventilation hose
connection.
Hypoventilation resulting from use of additional breathing
system filters!
Using additional breathing system filters (breathing system filter,
bacteria filter or combined breathing system/bacteria filter)
increases the dead space volume of the overall system. Increased
dead space volume may lead to hypoventilation. This can cause
serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Use only approved accessories.
Pay attention to increased dead space volume when ventilating
at low tidal volumes.
