Connecting the Sensor
Before you connect any CO2 hardware, make sure the cuvette setting of the monitor matches the cuvette
in use. For example, the Delta must be configured for a disposable cuvette if a disposable cuvette is being
used. Not aligning the configuration setting with the cuvette type compromises the displayed CO2 value.
To connect the sensor
1 Connect the Dräger mainstream CO
2 sensor cable into the Dräger mainstream CO2 module input port
(as depicted by B on the Hardware – Module Connection diagram).
2 Select a suitable mainstream cuvette (H) whose windows are clean and dry (replace the cuvette if
necessary).
3 Insert the cuvette (H) between the endotracheal tube adapter (I) and the ventilator (G).
4 Snap the Dräger mainstream CO
2 sensor (F) firmly into the cuvette (H) and make sure that the cable
is directed away from the patient.
CAUTION
The cuvette windows of the reusable cuvette have optical properties different from the cuvette windows
of the disposable cuvette. Therefore, select the cuvette type correctly; otherwise, the zero point shifts
by up to 8 mmHg CO
2 (1.1 kPa CO2).
