Preparation
Connecting a hose system
WARNING
Make sure that the selected hose system cor-
responds to the device setting!
Carina might not give an alarm when using an
incorrect hose system. In such cases, meas-
ured volumes can differ significantly from the
actual volumes!
WARNING
Do not use antistatic or conductive hoses. The
use of such materials increases the risk of an
electric shock for the patient and the risk of
fire breaking out due to oxygen.
WARNING
Only use hoses and masks that conform to
ISO 5356-1. Otherwise hoses might discon-
nect during ventilation.
WARNING
Route hoses safely. Eliminate the risk of stum-
bling! Do not kink hoses! Keep the leak valve
free for expiration!
NOTE
To avoid contamination and soiling of the hose sys-
tem, it should remain packaged until ready to be
used.
For a detailed description of invasive ventilation,
see page 135.
