Nebulizer
Warning
• Do not use a filter, heat-moisture exchanger or heat-moisture
exchanger filter between the nebulizer and the patient airway.
• Use of a heat-moisture exchanger or nebulizer in the breathing
circuit can substantially increase flow resistance when a
nebulizer is active. Monitor the breathing system filter
frequently for increased resistance and blockage.
• Use of an external pneumatic nebulizer may significantly
impact volume delivery and monitoring, decrease trigger
sensitivity, and cause alarms if external flow is introduced
and Pneumatic Nebulizer Flow Compensation is not used.
Caution
• It is strongly recommended to use an expiratory filter when a
nebulizer is used to help protect the expiratory flow sensor.
