clinical considerations, over which North American Dräger has no
control, must be included in this decision. North American Dräger is
available to discuss with you in detail the positive and negative aspects
of each pressure monitoring approach.
North American Dräger anesthesia systems are supplied with two
breathing pressure pilot lines: a shorter one for breathing pressure
monitoring at the absorber, and a longer line for breathing pressure
monitoring at the Y-piece. For either type of pilot line, check the line for
obstructions and moisture accumulation before and during use.
For breathing pressure monitoring at the absorber, install the shorter
pilot line (which has quick-connect fittings on both ends) as follows:
1. Insert one quick-connect fitting on the pilot line into the quick-
connect fitting mounted on the rear of the gas pipe that extends from
the absorber top assembly. (The absorber quick-connect fitting has a
self-closing construction, and can be left unused when employing the
longer pilot line.)
2. Insert the other quick-connect fitting into the quick-connect fitting on
the breathing pressure monitor interface panel.
