Connecting the breathing circuit and the filters

WARNING
Risk due to particles and dust
In order to protect the patient from particles
and dust, a filter must be used between the
inspiratory limb of the breathing system and
the patient.
Use a patient-side filter or a filter at the
inspiratory port.
WARNING
Risk of infection
If no microbial filter is used, the breathing
system may become contaminated with
disease-causing germs.
In this case, hygienically reprocess the
breathing system after each patient.
