Set the correct altitude before using the CO
2
measurement function for the first time. Incorrect altitude
causes incorrect CO
2
reading (5% CO
2
error per 1,000m altitude difference).
15.7.11 Enter Intubation Mode.
If the currently monitored patient is under the intubation process of a general anesthesia surgery, the monitor can
be set to Intubation Mode to shield unnecessary alarms. Enter Intubation Mode as follows:
1) Select the CO
2
parameter area or waveform area to enter [CO
2
] menu.
2) Select [Intubation Mode].
Please refer to "
Section 7.16 Intubation Mode
" for more information
15.8 Discharging Waste Gases
When nitrous oxide and/or an anesthetic gas are/is used, prevent these gases from polluting the operating room.
The gas discharging outlet should be connected to an Anaesthetic Gas Scavenging System (AGSS).
Anesthetics: If you measure the parameter of a patient who is using or recently has received anesthetics,
the gas exhaust connector on the module must be connected to a scavenging system or the patient circuit
(on the anesthesia machine or the ventilator), so as to prevent medical personnel from inhaling the
anesthetic.
Ensure not to connect the exhaust tube to an infusion tubing line in the patient environment.
15.9 Information on MASIMO Mainstream & Sidestream Gas Modules
15.9.1 Safety Information
15.9.1.1 Sidestream Gas Module
The gas analyzer of the Masimo ISA sidestream module is intended for use by authorized healthcare
professionals only.
Do not use the ISA gas analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized medications as this may clog
the bacteria filter.
Carefully route the sampling line to reduce the risk of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not lift the ISA gas analyzer by the sampling line as it could disconnect from the ISA, causing the ISA
gas analyzer to fall on the patient.
