WARNING !
Dräger cannot warrant or endorse the safe
performance of third party humidifiers for use
with the Babylog 8000 plus infant ventilator.
Specifically, combinations of humidifiers not
intended for use with infant patients bear risks
of delivering breathing gas not maintained at a
proper temperature.
Excessive rainout in the inspiratory line of the
breathing circuit may disable the flow and
volume measuring capabilities of the Babylog
8000 plus ventilator.
Increased pneumatic resistance and compli-
ance in the inspiratory line caused by
a humidifier may result in inaccurate airway
pressure readings.
We recommend contacting the manufacturers
/distributors of heated humidifying devices
about compliance of their products with the
requested performance characteristics.
Humidifiers for use with the Babylog 8000 plus venti-
lator:
– Humidifiers must conform to ISO 8185.
– The total resistance of the patient circuit must be less
than 20 cmH O/L/s,
2
inspiratory resistance ≤ 12 cmH
expiratory resistance ≤ 8 cmH
– The combination with the Babylog 8000 plus ventilator
may not impair safety and function of either device.
Prepare humidifier following its operating instructions.
