if the patient is intubated, attach the patient
valve to the tube.
Filter
If a filter is to be used, this should be installed be-
tween the patient side connector on the patient
valve and the mask or tube. In this case, the
MEDUtrigger is attached to the filter.
Always follow the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of the filter.
Note
Please note that the respiratory resistance of the en-
tire system is increased when an HME filter or bacte-
ria filter is used and under certain circumstances,
may exceed the value permitted by EN 794-3.
PEEP valve
If a PEEP valve is to be used, this should be inserted
into the expiration tube on the patient valve.
To adjust the PEEP valve, always follow the
