Philips V200 manual Inspiratory Bacteria Filter Installation Instructions

Chapter 4

Getting Started

WARNING:	To reduce the chance of contamination or infection, always use an
	inspiratory and expiratory filter when the ventilator is in operation. Refer to
	manufacturer’s instructions and follow institutional infection control
	guidelines when replacing the inspiratory and expiratory filter.
WARNING:	Do not use anti-static or conductive hoses or conductive patient tubing.
NOTE:	Follow institutional infection control guidelines when replacing the
	inspiratory or expiratory bacteria filter.
NOTE:	When adding attachments or other components or subassemblies to the
	breathing system, for example, an HME or humidifier, ensure that the
	inspiratory and expiratory resistances (measured at the patient
	connection port) do not exceed 6 cmH2O (hPa) at a flow of 60 L/min for
	adults, 30L/min for pediatrics.
