CAUTION
Risk to patients by damaged breathing hoses
If the coil reinforcement of a breathing hose is
damaged, there is risk of kinking or occlusion.
When attaching or removing the breathing hoses,
always hold them at the connection sleeve and
not at the coil reinforcement. Otherwise the coil
reinforcement can become separated from the
connection sleeve. Check the breathing hoses
for damage before each use.
WARNING
Risk of strangulation
Negligent placement of hoses, cables, and
similar device components can endanger the
patient.
Use particular caution when establishing
connections to the patient.
WARNING
Risk of use of toxic or incompatible materials
The breathing hoses must comply with the
current standards.
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 patient-side filter or a filter at the
inspiratory port.
NOTE
If it is not possible to use an expiratory filter (e.g.,
due to an intrinsic PEEP due to air trapping),
hygienically reprocess the device after use with
this patient, see chapter Cleaning, disinfection
and sterilization.
WARNING
Risk of infection
If no microbial filter is used, the breathing
system may become contaminated with
disease-causing germs.
In this case, hygienically reprocess the
breathing system after each patient.
