Bacteria filter
Oxygen supply
An oxygen concentrator (e.g. Oxymat), liquid oxygen or an oxygen cylinder with a suitable
pressure reducer may be used. This application must be prescribed by the patient's doctor.
To prevent oxygen entering the therapy unit, the CPAP 20e automatically generates a ther-
apy pressure of at least 5 hPa when an oxygen connection valve is attached. You must al-
ways follow the safety instructions for handling oxygen as well as the operating instructions
for the oxygen valve and the oxygen unit used.

– Fit the external exhalation system between the breath-
ing mask and the breathing tube.
If the CPAP 20e is to be used by several patients (e.g. in a
hospital), a bacteria filter should be used to protect against
infection. It is inserted between the breathing tube and the
device outlet port. Using a bacteria filter can reduce the
pressure and flow rate.
For safety reasons (risk of fire) the direct introduction of
oxygen into the breathing hose or the mask without any
special protective device is not permitted. However, the
supply of up to 4 l/min oxygen to the breathing mask is
possible when using the WM 24042 oxygen connection
valve.
