WARNING: To reduce the chance of contamination or infection, always use an
inspiratory and expiratory filter when the ventilator is in operation. Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions and follow institutional infection control
guidelines when replacing the inspiratory and expiratory filter.
WARNING: Do not use anti-static or conductive hoses or conductive patient tubing.
NOTE: Follow institutional infection control guidelines when replacing the
inspiratory or expiratory bacteria filter.
NOTE: When adding attachments or other components or subassemblies to the
breathing system, for example, an HME or humidifier, ensure that the
inspiratory and expiratory resistances (measured at the patient
connection port) do not exceed 6 cmH2O (hPa) at a flow of 60 L/min for
adults, 30L/min for pediatrics.
