Removing the Gas Sample
To
remove
the gas sample from the anesthesia circuit, a scavenging system needs to be connected to the
gas analyzer’s Anesthetic Gas Exhaust. If you intend to use a scavenging system with the gas analyzer,
one of the following parts must also be connected to protect it against malfunction:
1
A ventilator reservoir where the suction pressure does not exceed 70 mbar or
2
A scavenging interface, properly set and maintained (see scavenging interface manufacturer’s
instructions).
N O T E
If you are not returning the gas sample into the patient’s breathing circuit, install the M1655B Exhaust
Return Tubing
without
the M1656B Exhaust Return Filter, shorter tube and the luer lock fitting. See
the Instructions for Use provided with the tubing and filter for further details.
