Dispose of Nomoline Family sampling lines in accordance with local regulations for biohazardous waste.
Use only airway T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the adapter.
Do only use sample lines intended for anesthetic agents if N
2
O and/or anesthetic agents are being used.
Do not use T-adapter with infants, as this adds 7 ml dead space to the patient circuit.
Do not use the ISA gas analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized medications as this may clog
the bacteria filter.
Since a successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air (21% O
2
and 0% CO
2
), ensure that the ISA
is placed in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing near the ISA sidestream gas analyzer before or during
the zeroing procedure.
Never sterilize or immerse the ISA sidestream gas analyzer in liquid.
The ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in
conjunction with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
Measurements can be affected by mobile and portable RF communications equipment. Make sure that
the ISA sidestream gas analyzer is used in the electromagnetic environment specified in this manual.
Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red, or the monitor shows
a “CO
2
Line Blocked” message.
No modification to the 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 ISA sidestream gas analyzers are not designed for MRI environments.
During MRI scanning, the ISA must be placed outside the MRI suite.
Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the ISA/medical device may produce
interference and cause incorrect measurements.
To avoid water condensation inside the NomoLine ISA Capno Module and the connecting tubing, ensure
that the surrounding temperature of the NomoLine ISA Capno module and the connecting tubing does
not fall below the ambient temperature of the NomoLine sampling line.
Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might affect the sample flow.
Strong scavenging suction pressure might affect the sample flow.
The NomoLine ISA Capno Module’s exhaust gas is not intended to be returned to the patient circuit.
Exhaust gases should be returned to a scavenging system.
The ISA analyzers should be securely mounted in order to avoid the risk of damage to the ISA.
Do not operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer outside the specified operating environment.
(US Only) Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
For professional use. See instructions for use for full prescribing information, including indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions and adverse events.
Do not operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer outside the specified operating environment.
The IRMA mainstream analyzers should be securely mounted in order to avoid the risk of damage to the
IRMA.
Do not operate the IRMA sidestream gas analyzer outside the specified operating environment.
(US Only) Caution: Federal law restricts this equipment to sale by or on the order of a physician.
For professional use. See the instructions for use for full prescribing information, including indications,
contraindications, warnings, precautions and adverse events.
The IRMA probe is intended for use by qualified medical personnel only.
The IRMA probe is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction
with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
Disposable IRMA airway adapters shall not be reused. Reuse of the single use adapter can cause cross
