vapor and eliminates the need of changing the adapter. It allows free positioning
of the AG sensor as well.
5. Unless the AG sensor is protected with an HME always position the AG
sensor with the indicating LED pointing upwards
Pre-use Check
1. Prior to connecting the AG airway adapter to the breathing circuit, verify
the O2 calibration by checking that the O2 reading on the monitor is correct
(21%). See Chapter 14.7.1 for instructions on how to perform room air
calibration.
2. Always verify gas readings and waveforms on the monitor before
connecting the airway adapter to the patient circuit.
3. Perform the tightness check of the patient circuit with the AG sensor
snapped on the AG airway adapter.
The state of the LED on the AG sensor:
Indication Status
Steady green light System OK
Blinking green light Zeroing in progress
Steady blue light
