1 Connect breathing hoses (H) with fitted micro-
bial filters to the inspiration and expiration noz-
zles of the breathing system.
2 Attach hose water traps (I) attach at the lowest
point to collect the condensate.
3 Connect the small sleeves with Y-piece (J).
4 Connect the sample line (K) on the tube con-
nector and on the CO
5 Connect the breathing bag with the connecting
nozzle to the breathing bag hose and attach to
the angled nozzle (L) on the breathing system.
Insert the breathing bag downward, hanging in
the direction of the floor, into the mount.
It is recommended that only Dräger-approved
breathing bags be used. Otherwise, device opera-
tion may be restricted.

WARNING
When using additional components in the
breathing system or configurations which are
different from the standard breathing circuit,
inspiratory and expiratory breathing resist-
ance may be increased beyond the standard
requirement. The use of such configurations
therefore calls for special care and monitoring
by the user.
In spontaneous breathing, high breathing resist-
ance leads to an increase in the amount of respira-
tory work to be performed by the patient.
In volume-controlled ventilation, a high breathing
resistance has a slight effect on the administered
volume during inspiration. The PIP pressure, how-
ever, is increased while the plateau pressure Pplat
remains the same. In the expiration phase this in-
creases the time constant (RC). If the expiration
times are too short, the lung might not be emptied
completely, resulting in a dynamic overfilling of the
lungs (air trapping).
In pressure-controlled ventilation, high airway re-
sistance can cause a reduction in inspiratory or ex-
piratory volume.
The accessories for the application must have been
connected before the self test is performed. Expan-
sion hoses must be drawn out to the intended user
length. Only in this way is the compliance correctly
determined and with volume-controlled ventilation
a correct tidal volume applied.
If coaxial hoses are used, leakages between the in-
ner and outer hose are not detected during the self
test/leak test.
