Connecting a Patient Circuit
WARNING !
Dräger cannot warrant or endorse the safe
performance of third party ventilator circuits
for use with the Babylog 8000 plus infant
ventilator. Increased pneumatic resistance
caused by some circuit systems may result in
inaccurate airway pressure readings.
Only use circuits with an inner diameter of at
least 10 mm (0.4 inch)
We recommend contacting the manufacturers
/distributors of infant patient circuits
regarding compliance of their products with
the requested performance characteristics
(see p. 32).
WARNING !
In order to avoid any risk of electric shock in
the event of faulty grounding of patient moni-
toring equipment, do not use antistatic or
electrically conductive patient circuits*
Connect patient circuit to ports on ventilator and
humidifier.
Use segments of appropriate length for the different
application environments (see next page, suggested
lengths are in meters).
CAUTION !
Always hold end cuffs when pulling a circuit from
a port. Otherwise damage to the patient circuit
will result.
______________
* IEC 601-2-12 "Lung Ventilators" does not consider the use of anti-
static or electrically conductive materials for patient circuits of a
lung ventilator a contribution to increased safety. To the contrary,
the use of such materials increases the risk of electric shock for the
patient and the fire risk associated with oxygen.
