WARNING
Risk due to soda lime drying out
The soda lime loses moisture. If the moisture
level falls below the minimum moisture level,
the following adverse reactions occur
regardless of the type of soda lime and the
inhalational anesthetic agent used:
Decreased CO absorption, increased
2
generation of heat in the CO
resulting in increased breathing gas
temperature, formation of CO, absorption
and/or degradation of the inhalational
anesthetic agent.
– Do not use unnecessarily high fresh-gas
flows.
– Only use the O flush if necessary.
2
– With electronically controlled gas mixer:
Only use the emergency O
necessary.
– With mechanically controlled gas mixer:
Do not leave the flow control valves open
unnecessarily long.
NOTE
Only perform leakage tests with CLIC absorber
locked into place because this affects the system
compliance values.
