NOTE
:
Inserting the sampling tube into the sampling tube connector will automatically
start the sampling pump. After the sampling tube is pulled out, the sampling
pump stops.
3. If the sampling pump fails to turn on, or runs intermittently, perform a “Zero”
procedure. (Refer to the 15.8 Zeroing)
4. Ensure that the CO
2
sensor exhaust tube vents gases away from the sensor
environment.
5. Wait for the CO
2
sensor to warm up. The monitor will display the “Sensor Warm
Up...” message for approximately 1minute while the sensor warms up to operating
temperature. The message disappears when the sensor is ready for use.
6. Applying airway adapter or cannula:
1) For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the
proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y section. Shown
as follows:
2) For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit:
Connect the male connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the
airway adapter. Shown as follows:
