4.8 Volume measurement To prevent hypo- or hyperventilation in the case of prolonged manual resuscitation with the COMBIBAG, a volumeter for measuring the expired gas volume can be connected to the expiration branch of the patient valve. Operating instructions...
4.9 Use of HME-Filters For hygienical reasons and for climatizing the breathing air, the inspiratory branch of the patient valve can be fitted with commercial 15/22 mm stan- dard cone HME-filters (heat and moisture exchang- er). This insignificantly increases the inspiratory as well as the expiratory resistance.
Upon completion of the purification process, carry out a functional test. Patient valve Individual parts of the COMBIBAG resuscitator are made of silicon or polysufone. Safety valve clean Use soapy water to COMBIBAG and rinse un- (relief valve) der running water.
