Breathing circuit support arm on Maquet Servo-i ventilator may restrict gas flow to patient.
PubMed · 2010
When mounted on the same side as the inspiratory port, the breathing circuit support arm used with the Maquet Servo-i ventilator can be positioned in such a way that it compresses the circuit's inspiratory limb, restricting gas flow to the patient. (This problem is possible only on the mobile cart configuration.) Users can avoid this problem by securing the arm above the port or by mounting it on another side of the ventilator.
