WARNING:
Do not position the sensor cables or tubing in any manner that may cause
entanglement or strangulation.
Reuse, disassembly, cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing the single patient use
cannula kits and on-airway adapters may compromise functionality and system
performance leading to a user or patient hazard. Performance is not guaranteed
if an item labeled as single patient use is reused.
Before using, please check whether the airway adapter is damaged. Do not use if
damage is found.
If excessive secretions are found on the airway adapter, replace them
immediately.
When monitoring CO2 waveform, if changes or abnormal phenomena are found,
please check the airway adapter or sampling tube. If necessary, please replace it
immediately.
Note whether the baseline of CO2 waveform is too high. Sensor or patient
problems will cause the baseline to be too high.
Regularly check CO2 sensor and pipeline for excessive moisture or secretion
accumulation.
Do not operate the CO2 module when it is wet or has exterior condensation.
Do not use microflow CO2 sensors for patients who cannot tolerate the
withdrawal of 50 mL/min±10 mL/min from the airway or patients that cannot
tolerate the added dead space to the airway.
Do not connect the exhaust tube of sidestream/microflow CO2 module to the
ventilator circuit.
CAUTION:
Use only accessories provided by manufacturer.
Do not sterilize or immerse the CO2 sensor in liquids.
Clean the CO2 sensor and accessories as directed in this manual.
