Various Presource Kits contain a pre-assembled Filter and Anesthesia Circuit that may contain outer plastic packaging on one or more components. If the packaging is removed without disassembling the components, remnants of the plastic from the packaging material may become lodged in the filter potentially causing an obstruction of airflow.
