1. Intended use
AIRcon Gen2 respiratory gas humidifier
is a device for heating and humidifying
respiratory gases, such as medical
oxygen and/or compressed air or else
room air during mechanical ventilation
or respiratory therapy in both the
clinical and home care environments�
AIRcon Gen2 can be used for invasive
as well as noninvasive ventilation/
respiratory therapy for adults, children
and newborn babies�
This device may only be operated by
trained personnel� User training will
be provided by WILAmed or WILAmed
authorized agents�
AIRcon Gen2 is always positioned
between therapy device and patient�
A breathing tube system and a
humidifier chamber are always
necessary for this connection� This
breathing tube system must be
matched beforehand to the therapy
device being used, to the medical
indication and to the respective patient
group�
Connect AIRcon Gen2 with approved
therapy devices (such as ventilators,
bilevel devices, CPAP devices, etc�) only
if patient/user safety and the environ-
ment are not impaired� The user must
make sure that the combination is safe�
If in doubt, the manufacturer must be
contacted�
Respiratory gas is passed from the
therapy device or oxygen source to the
humidifier chamber, where it is heated,
humidified with water vapor and then
passed via the inspiratory tube to the
patient� Three different basic modes
and the freely adjustable temperatures
at the outlet of the humidifier chamber
as well as the patient's proximity make
it possible to adjust or regulate the
moisture output for each application�
AIRcon Gen2 respiratory gas humidifier
is not suitable or intended for
atomization of medications�
