16 Principles of operation
16.1 Safety instructions
Infinity ID components
It is only possible to use the additional functions of Infinity ID accessories if the
device has the additional functions for replacement interval monitoring and anti-
interchange security.
The use of these additional functions does not ensure the maximum period of use
for the accessories and any correctly connected hoses. The user is thus not
excused from regularly checking the accessories. If these accessories are not
checked, the patient may be put at risk.
► Use the appropriate Infinity ID accessories to utilize the additional functions.
► Check the current condition and the period of use of the accessories regularly.
► Check regularly that the hoses are correctly connected.
There are product-specific data saved on the Infinity ID accessories, which are
further processed by the device. If an unused Infinity ID accessory is in the
immediate vicinity of the device, values such as those for resistance and
compliance may be transferred inadvertently from this accessory. When
accessories are added to an Infinity ID breathing circuit, the values for compliance
and leakage may deviate from those saved on the breathing circuit.
► Do not keep unused Infinity ID accessories in the vicinity of the device.
► To determine the actual values for compliance and resistance, always perform
the leakage test before starting the therapy. If the test cannot be performed
because the patient is already connected, particular attention is required during
ventilation.
