Pressure measurement at the Paux2/Pes port:
Connect a pressure measuring line to the
Paux2/Pes port.
For measuring Pes, connect the pressure mea-
suring line to the Luer Lock connector of the
esophageal balloon catheter.
In order to fill the balloon, follow the instructions
for use of the balloon catheter used.

Pressure measurement at the Paux3/Pga port:
Connect a pressure measuring line to the
Paux3/Pga port.
For measuring Pga, connect the pressure mea-
suring line to the Luer Lock connector of the gas-
tric balloon catheter.
In order to fill the balloon, follow the instructions
for use of the balloon catheter used.
NOTE
Strictly follow the instructions for use of the com-
patible device with which the PressurePod is used
and of the third-party accessories connected to the

Reprocessing
Safety information
WARNING
Risk due to inappropriately reprocessed prod-
ucts
Reusable products must be reprocessed, oth-
erwise there is an increased risk of infection.
–
Follow the infection prevention policies
and reprocessing regulations of the health-
care facility.
–
Follow the national infection prevention
policies and reprocessing regulations.
–
Use validated procedures for reprocessing.
–
Reprocess reusable products after every
use.
–
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning agents, disinfectants, and repro-
cessing devices.
WARNING
Risk due to reuse of disposable third-party ac-
cessories
Reuse, reprocessing, or sterilization of con-
nected third-party accessories for single use
can lead to a failure of the product and cause
injury to the patient.
Third-party accessories for single use must not
be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized.
WARNING
Follow the national infection prevention poli-
cies and reprocessing regulations.
Follow the infection prevention policies and re-

CAUTION
Risk due to faulty products
Signs of wear, e.g., cracks, deformation, discolor-
ation, or peeling, may occur with reprocessed prod-
ucts.
Check products for signs of wear and replace them
if necessary.
Classifications for reprocessing
Classification of medical devices
The classification depends on the intended use of
the medical device. The risk of infection transmission
through the application of the product to the patient
without proper reprocessing is the basis of the
Spaulding classification.
Classification
Explanation
Non-critical
Components that come into con-
tact only with skin that is intact
Semi-critical
Components that carry breath-
ing gas or come into contact with
mucous membranes or patho-
logically altered skin
Critical
Components that penetrate skin
or mucous membranes or come
into contact with blood
Classification of device-specific components
The following classification is a recommendation
from Dräger.
Non-critical
–
Device surface
–
USB cable
