CAUTION:
Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway
adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter
from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor.
Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sampling tube from the CO
2
sensor when not in use.
Pull the sampling tube out of the sampling tube connector when not in use.
Do not insert the things other than sampling tube into receptacle of sampling
tube.
The sampling tubes are disposable. Please keep the sampling tube clean, and
prevent the tube from clogging by dust. Under the conditions that the sampling
gas temperature is 37℃, the indoor temperature is 23℃, and the sampling
relative humidity is 100%, replace the sampling tube at least every 12 hours (if
filter tip is used, it can be extended to 120 hours), or replace the sampling tube
when the sampling tube is found to be leaking, damaged or contaminated.
When using a sidestream/microflow CO2 module, the exhaust holes on the
module must be connected to the exhaust gas treatment system.
7. Pre-use inspection (pre-use inspection must be performed before connecting the
sampling tube to the patient’s breathing circuit):
① Insert the sampling tube into the air inlet on the module.
② Check whether the LED aperture on the module is green and always bright. (a green
light indicates that the system is normal)
③ Exhale toward the sampling tube and check whether CO2 waveform and value are
displayed on the monitor.
④ Block the sampling tube with your fingers and wait for 10s.
⑤ Check whether the blockage alarm is displayed, and whether the LED aperture on the
module flashed red at the same time.
⑥ Under appropriate circumstances, check the tightness of the patient’s breathing
circuit connected with the sampling tube.
