Incorrect agent selection by the user for IRMA OR (no automatic
agent identification) will result in false agent readings.
Using IRMA OR (no automatic agent identification) with gas mixtures
containing more than one agent will result in false agent readings
Replace the adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway
adapter.
Use only PHASEIN manufactured IRMA airway adapters.
The IRMA sensor is not intended to be in patient contact.
Caution:
Do not apply tension to the sensor cable.
Do not operate the IRMA sensor outside the specified operating
temperature environment.
Do not leave depleted oxygen sensors mounted in the IRMA sensor,
even if the probe is not in use
Always disconnect the IRMA sensor from the monitor when not in use
to prolong the lifetime of IRMA sensor.
The materials of patient breath tubing which is connected to the gas
adapter, can’t be anti-static and electric ones. Or it will be more
dangerous when using HF electrosurgical equipments.
If error occurs in IRMA sensor, the indicating light will keep in red,
and blink in red means the sensor is check the airway adapter.
The lifetime of the oxygen sensor is up to six months since its leaving
factory. If it cannot work normally or the parameter cannot be accurate
measured due to exceeding time limit, please replace the oxygen sensor
timely.
If the AG airway adapter is detached from the sensor, or low voltage
of oxygen sensor cell, or there is something wrong with the sensor, the
prompting message may pop up on one of above conditions
14.6.2 Sidestream AG module
Warning:
Use only Nomoline sampling lines manufactured by PHASEIN.
The sidestream AG module must not be used with flammable anesthetic
agents.
Carefully route the sampling line to reduce the risk of patient
