Pressure Drop Versus Flow for Patient Circuits
The device automatically compensates for pressure drops associated with a 6-foot (182.9 cm) smooth bore tube. Additional
pressure drops will occur when restrictive elements are added to the patient circuit. The following graph shows the additional
pressure drop when adding:
1. A bacteria filter
2. A bacteria filter and a Respironics Pass-over humidifier
NOTE:
Always use a manometer to verify patient mask pressure.
