Assembly and preparation
4.8 Selecting and connecting patient-specific accessories
4.8.1 Fitting the breathing circuit and the filters
This device is made without natural rubber latex.
To minimize the risk of contact with latex, use breathing bags and breathing hoses
that are not made with natural rubber latex.
The device can be used with Infinity ID breathing hoses or conventional breathing
hoses.
If no leakage test has yet been performed after switching on the device, hose
compliance and hose resistance will automatically be adopted when Infinity ID
breathing hoses are connected.
Do not use any inspiratory or expiratory bacteria filters if the ID functionality of
the Infinity ID breathing circuit is to be used. In this case, fit a filter to the Y-piece.
In cases which preclude use of a bacteria filter at the Y-piece, the Infinity ID function
of the Infinity ID breathing circuit cannot be used.
1. Select suitable accessories for the respective patient category.
When applying tidal volumes in the transition range for a specific patient
category, use the smaller breathing bag and the smaller breathing circuit.
WARNING
Risk due to particles and dust
In order to protect the patient from particles and dust, a filter must be used between
the inspiratory limb of the breathing system and the patient.
► Use a filter at the Y-piece or at the inspiratory port.
