Figure 2–24: Esophageal balloon connector
Note:
See "Chapter 4: Monitors, Displays and Maneuvers" for placement technique for esophageal balloons.

Tracheal Catheter

A tracheal catheter will attach to the AVEA at the connection on the front panel marked as Aux. The connector is shown
in Figure 2–23.
Note:
See "Chapter 4: Monitors, Displays and Maneuvers" for placement technique for tracheal catheters.
WARNING
The AVEA is designed to ensure that the user and patient are not exposed to excessive leakage current per
applicable standards (UL2601 and IEC60601-1). However, this cannot be guaranteed when external devices
are attached to the ventilator.
To prevent the risk of excessive enclosure leakage current from external equipment attached to the RS-232,
printer or video ports, the protective earth paths must be isolated to ensure proper connection.
This isolation should ensure that the cable shields are isolated at the peripheral end of the cable.
See "Appendix B: Specifications" regarding connections and communications.
