WARNING!
The disposable absorber must be clicked into
place before switching on the Apollo. This
ensures that the absorber is included in the leak
and compliance test for the anesthesia machine.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
The soda lime loses humidity. Generally, if the
humidity falls below a minimum set point, the
following undesirable reactions can occur,
independent of the type of lime and the
inhalation anesthetic being used:
– reduced CO2 absorption;
– increased heat build-up in the absorber and
thus, an increased breathing gas
temperature;
– formation of CO;
– absorption and/or decomposition of the
inhalation anesthetic.
These reactions could pose a danger to the
patient.
If using dry gases, only briefly flush the
anesthesia system and only if necessary.
