[title] Inflow/Outflow Balance: Maintain Positive Pressure
[* black] Fan power is limiting factor for HALO fan PAPR configuration. There must be sufficient flow to maintain positive pressure during inspiration. Also CO2 clearance must be adequate.
[* icon_note] Bag is intentionally NOT stented open. We want the bag able to readily collapse. This prevents development of negative pressure during inspiration. Also quickly indicates a bag tear.
[* icon_caution] Flutter valvesValves are never instantaneous. Configure your air intake and expiratory fittings to maintain positive pressure even during inspiration.
[* black] Greater fan power and/or reduced filter airflow resistance improve airflow and improveincrease HALO's positive pressure safety barrier.

[* black] The twin filter intake flange for 60 mm fans can improve airflow adequacy when higher power fans are not available.
