If the humidifier is set to heat both tubes, an alarm
screen will indicate a disconnected heating cable of
the expiration tube.
Pressing (about half a second) the button to pause
the audible alarm confirms the new configuration and
the humidifier continues operation only with the
heated inspiration tube.
If the humidifier is only equipped with the heated
inspiration tube, no alarm is triggered when the
heating cable of the expiration tube is connected and
the humidifier continues operation with the new
configuration (both tubes heated).
When switched on for the first time, the temperature
value at the chamber outlet and near the patient is
set to 34 or 37°C.
In operating mode, the green LED on the device will
