13.2.2 Microstream CO
2
Module
1. Attaching the CO
2
sensor Cable
Plug the sensor cable into the CO
2
connector on the monitor.
2. Attaching the Sampling Tube
Insert the sampling tube into the sampling tube receptacle. Shown as follows:
Note:
Inserting the sampling tube into the receptacle automatically starts the
sampling pump. Removal of the sampling tube turns the sample pump
off.
To remove the sampling tube from the sampling tube receptacle, press
down on the locking tab and pull the sampling tube from the receptacle.
3. If the sampling pump fails to turn on, or runs intermittently, perform a
“Zero” procedure. (Refer to the
chapter 13.5 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 Microstream 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.
