Tests
Testing the outer hose:
1. Connect the breathing circuit as follows:
a. Connect the hose (1) to the inspiratory port (2).
b. Remove the coaxial test adapter (3) from the expiratory port (4).
c. Connect the elbow (5) to the hose (6).
d. Plug the hose (6) with the elbow connected on to the circuit plug (7).
e. Connect the hose (8) to the expiratory port (4).
2. Touch the

button.
3. Touch the
Leakage test
button.
The value determined for leakage is displayed as
Leakage (mech. vent.)
. Note
down the value as the leakage of the expiratory hose.
Evaluation of the values determined for leakage:

Evaluation
≤
150 mL
≤
150 mL
The breathing circuit is intact.
>150 to <500 mL
≤
150 mL
Low leakage. Check whether the
breathing circuit is suitable for the
particular patient category.
>500 mL
≤
150 mL
Do not use the breathing circuit.
There is a risk of rebreathing.
≤
150 mL
>150 to <500 mL
Take account of the leakage when
setting the parameters for fresh gas
and ventilation.
≤
150 mL
>500 mL
Do not use the breathing circuit.
>150 mL
>150 mL
The leakage is possibly caused by
other components and not by the
breathing circuit. Repeat the test with
a different coaxial breathing circuit.
