Getting started
System compliance
Primus determines the current
compliance of the patient system with
fitters, hoses and a Y-piece. Depending
on the breathing hoses used, the
inspiratory system compliance is approx.
1.2 mL/mbar.
Leakage
Leakages are tested in the mechanical
subsystem and in the complete system
(see gas diagrams),

Primus determines the current leakage
of the breathing system and breathing
hoses. The system tolerates leakage of
up to 150 mL/min.
For leaks of more than 150 mL/min:
@
Check the components of the
breathing system,
repair any leaks and
repeat the leak test.
Possible causes of leaks include:
—
Damaged breathing hoses
—
02 sensor not connected or
incorrectly connected
—
Sample line for gas measurement not
connected
—
Water trap not inserted
—
Breathing bag/diaphragm defective
—
Vaporiser not connected correctly/
filling device open
—
Absorber nat firmly screwed into
place
—
Flow sensor not firmly screwed into
place
—
Breathing system not assembied and
fitted correctly
—
Microbial filters not connected
securely
