Fitting The Bacterial Filter; Fitting The Breathing Gas Humidifier - Dräger Savina 300 Instructions For Use Manual

Assembly and preparation
CAUTION
Undesirable intrinsic PEEP
When using coaxial hoses or extendable hoses,
an undesirable intrinsic PEEP may occur with
very short expiratory times (<0.75 s).
Use double-lumen breathing hoses or set the ex-
piratory time to a value above 0.75 s if the patient
therapy allows this.

Fitting the bacterial filter

An HME filter can be used instead of a bacterial
filter. If an HME without filter function is used, a
bacterial filter must still be inserted.
CAUTION
Risk of infection
If no inspiratory bacterial filter is used, the patient
can be infected by aspirated ambient air.
Use an inspiratory bacterial filter.
The inspiratory bacterial filter can be placed on the
inspiratory port or on the patient port of the
breathing circuit.

Fitting the breathing gas humidifier

Prerequisite: The breathing gas humidifier is
prepared in accordance with the corresponding
instructions for use.
CAUTION
High resistance
If an HME and a breathing gas humidifier are used
at the same time, resistance can increase.
Use either HME or breathing gas humidifier.
The breathing gas humidifier can be fitted in the
following ways:
– on the standard rail of the universal holder
– on the humidifier holder
If the external battery is attached to the trolley, the
humidifier holder must be used when fitting the
breathing gas humidifier.
