Connecting The Sample Line; Sample Gas Scavenging - Dräger Vamos Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting the Sample Line

1 Screw the filter into the T-piece.
2 Plug the T-piece into the patient connection of the Y-piece
– with the filter on top to prevent it becoming clogged with
liquid.
3 Screw the sample line firmly to the filter and water trap.
WARNING !
Leaks in the pneumatic system can lead to wrong gas
measurement values.
WARNING !
Dräger cannot warrant or endorse the safe performance
of third party gas sample lines for use with the Vamos
monitor. We recommend using genuine Dräger OEM
sample line. Other lines may alter the technical data of
the monitor.
4 Instead of the separate T-piece and filter, a Y-piece with
direct connection port for the sample line may also be used.

Sample Gas Scavenging

Use hose 11 90 520, see Ordering Information on
page 49.
Connect the hose to the exhaust port »
the monitor.
Push the other end of the exhaust hose into the anesthetic
gas scavenging hose.
Secure against disconnection.
The hose of the anesthetic gas scavenging line should have
an inner diameter measuring at least twice that of
hose 11 90 520 (i.e., at least 0.55 inches, 14 mm).
NOTE: The sample gas taken from the Y-piece reduces the
tidalvolume.
