Abstract: A respiration system with a respirator (2) and with a breathing system (1), which is detachably coupled with the respirator. The coupling between the respirator and the breathing system takes place by at least two connector systems (3). The coupling between the respirator and the breathing system is designed such that the volume flow through the connector systems always takes place in only one direction. A pressure sensor (9; 9?) is preferably combined with at least one of the connector systems (3) such that a unidirectional volume flow, by which the direction of migration of bacteria through the connector system is influenced in the desired manner, becomes established within this connector system (3), as a result of which the connector system and the coupled sensor are kept free from bacteria, viruses and other contaminants.

Abstract: A respirator with a breathing gas block (2) and with breathing gas ducts (13, 15, 17) and with a heater has the electric components located outside of the breathing gas-carrying areas. A heated distributor plate is flatly in contact on the underside of the breathing gas block (2) and has heating ribs (21, 22) that are in contact with breathing gas ducts (13, 15) at least in some areas.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide absorber for a rebreathing system can be connected to a connection head of the rebreathing system in a simple manner. A centering device (43, 44, 45, 46), provided in the area of a guide plate (40) of the absorber (4), can be caused to mesh with centering pins pointing in the direction of the absorber from the connection head.

Abstract: A device for supplying a patient with breathing gas, which has a housing provided with gas ducts and a corresponding cover (5), shall be improved such that the cover (5) can be manufactured in a simple manner and possesses good sealing properties. To accomplish the object, provisions are made for the cover (5) to consist of a one-piece, plate-like elastomer material and for groove-like depressions (10) extending in the direction of partitions (6) to be present as a seal for the gas ducts (8).

Abstract: A filling system for an anesthetic evaporator allows an adapter neck (5) of a bottle adapter (1), which said adapter neck is coded in an anesthetic-specific manner, to be inserted into the filler neck of a filling device in a simple manner. A hinge (39) is provided between the adapter neck (5) and the threaded sleeve (2) of the bottle adapter (1).

Abstract: The interaction between a filling valve (28) on the filling device and an adapter valve on a bottle adapter has improved anesthetics filling features including radially inwardly directed bars (26), which engage (pass into) corresponding slots on the outlet pipe of the bottle adapter. The bars engaged in the slots actuate the adapter valve. The bars are provided on the inner wall of a filler neck (22).

Abstract: A detachable coupling on a rotary drive is provided with first and second coupling surfaces (14, 17) arranged opposite each other. The coupling parts can be assembled without observing a preferential position. The first coupling surface (14) has a plurality of needles (15), which are arranged in a matrix-like pattern and point away from the coupling surface (14). The second coupling surface (17) has a fabric layer (18) designed to receive the needles (15).

Abstract: A filling system for an anesthetic evaporator is improved such that an anesthetic-specifically coded adapter neck (5) of a bottle adapter (1) can be introduced into the filler neck of a filling device. An outer polygon (7) is provided on the bottle adapter and an inner polygon designed correspondingly thereto is provided on the filler neck as anesthetic-specific codings.

Abstract: A pressure relief valve for flowing media has a closing element (6), whose closing force can be set with both the setting of the closing force and the brief release of the closing element (6) performed with a single setting element. Teeth (22, 23) are provided, by which the threaded sleeve (3) can be actuated such that it can perform a rotary movement and a lifting movement can be performed between the handwheel (2) and the threaded sleeve (3). The teeth are provided between a pin (21) of the handwheel (2) for setting the closing force and a threaded sleeve (3). The closing element (6) is connected to the handwheel (2) such that the closing element (6) follows the lifting movement of the handwheel (2).
