Water Trap For Gas Sensors - Dräger Zeus Infinity Empowered Instructions For Use Manual

Water trap for gas sensors

Zeus IE is equipped with two water traps to protect
the device monitoring system:

– CO : Water trap for the patient sample line
2
CAUTION
Water traps must be changed after 4 weeks of use
at the latest. If they are used for a longer period,
the diaphragm could become permeable, allowing
water and bacteria into the measuring system.
Contamination has a negative effect on gas anal-
ysis, which can fail completely.
CAUTION
Avoid using aerosols in the breathing system. Do
not use a water trap in conjunction with drug neb-
ulization. Do not allow any alcohol or deter-
gent/disinfectant to come into contact with the in-
side of the water trap. Do not wash, rinse or
sterilize a water trap. Such substances can dam-
age the diaphragm and the measuring system.
CAUTION
The presence of organic detergents or gases con-
taining freon can affect the measuring accuracy of
the gas measurement.
