Bacteria filter
If the SOMNOvent CR is intended for use by several patients (e.g. in a hospital), a bacteria
filter should be used to prevent infections.
Oxygen supply
Warning!
For safety reasons (risk of fire), it is not permitted to supply oxygen straight into the
breathing tube or the breathing mask without a special safety device. It is possible to
supply up to 4 l/min oxygen to the breathing mask using oxygen supply valve
WM 24042.
An oxygen concentrator (e.g. Oxymat), liquid oxygen or an oxygen cylinder with the
appropriate pressure-reducer on it can be used. This use must be prescribed by the doctor
in charge.

– Fit the bacteria filter between the breathing tube and
the adapter.
Caution!
• Pressure consistency and flow rate may be
reduced if a bacteria filter is used. If a bacteria
filter is connected, check the pressure.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions,
particularly the expiry date of the filter.
It is essential to follow the safety instructions for handling
oxygen as well as the instructions for use for the oxygen
valve and the oxygen device used.
