Safety information

WARNING
Risk due to leakage in coaxial breathing
circuit
Leakage in the inner hose of a coaxial
breathing circuit may result in CO
rebreathing or inadequate gas exchange. The
device can only detect such leakage if a
separate test with a coaxial test adapter is
performed.
– Use a coaxial test adapter to check the
inner hose for leakage, see page 125.
Next, perform a leakage test on the entire
breathing circuit.
– Monitor the measured gas concentrations
during ventilation.
