baseline can be caused by sensor or patient problems.
Do not operate the CO
2
module when it is wet or has exterior
condensation.
Do not use device on patients that can not tolerate the withdrawal of
50 ml/min±10 ml/min from the airway or patients that can not tolerate
the added dead space to the airway.
Do not connect the exhaust tube to the ventilator circuit.
Caution:
Use only accessories provided by manufacturer
Do not sterilize or immerse the
CO
2
sensor
in liquids.
Clean the CO
2
sensor
and accessories as directed in this manual.
Do not apply excessive tension to the CO
2
sensor cable.
It is recommended that the CO
2
sensor be removed from the circuit
whenever an aerosolized medication is delivered. This is due to the
increased viscosity of the medications which may contaminate the
sensor windows, causing the sensor to fail prematurely.
Note:
This product and its accessories are latex free.
After the life cycles of the CO
2
module and its accessories have been
met, disposal should be accomplished following national and local
requirements.
Nitrous oxide, elevated levels of oxygen and helium can influence the
CO
2
measurement.
Please setup gas compensation according to actual
state.
Barometric pressure compensation is required to meet the stated
accuracy of the CO2
module.
Do not place the airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow, as
this may allow patient secretions to block the adapter windows.
Position the airway adapter with its windows in a vertical and not a
horizontal position, this helps keep patient secretions from pooling on
the windows.
