entanglement or strangulation.
Do not re-use disposable sampling lines.
Do not lift the monitor by the sampling line as it could disconnect from
the monitor, casing the monitor to fall on the patient.
Used disposable sampling lines shall be disposed of in accordance with
local regulations for medical waste.
Do not use adult/pediatric type sampling line configurations with
infants, as this may add dead space to the patient circuit.
Do not use infant type sampling line configurations with adults, as this
may cause excessive flow resistance.
Do not use the sidestream AG module with metered-dose inhalers or
nebulized medications as this may clog the bacteria filter.
Check that the gas sample flow is not too high for the present patient
category.
Measurements can be affected by mobile and RF communications
equipment. Make sure that the sidestream AG module is used in the
electromagnetic environment specified in this manual.
The sidestream AG module is intended only as an adjunct in patient
assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other assessments of
clinical signs and symptoms.
Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts
flashing red, or a Nomoline occlusion message is displayed on the host
monitor.
No modification of this equipment is allowed without authorization of
the manufacturer. If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection
and testing must be conducted to ensure continued safe operation.
The sidestream AG module is not designed for MRI environments.
During MRI scanning, the monitor must be placed outside the MRI
suite.
Operating high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of
the monitor may produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
Do not use external ambient cooling of the ISA device.
Do not apply negative pressure to the Nomoline (i.e. by a syringe) to
remove condensed water.
Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might
cause incorrect readings and internal damage.
Strong scavenging suction pressure might cause incorrect readings and
internal damage.
