23-10 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA VF8
23 S
CIO® FOUR MODULES
Tubing Connections
To connect the module and tubing
1. Connect one end of the sampling tubing to the water trap, and the other end to
the airway T-connector. For information on changing sampling tubing and T-
connector, see page 23-24.
2. If return of sample gas is not possible, connect one end of the exhaust tubing
to the exhaust port at the rear of the module (see illustration on page 23-5),
and the other end to the hospital’s gas-scavenging system.
3. Connect recirculating sample gas tubing as follows:
For Dräger COSY breathing system (Fabius GS):
- Use the sample gas return kit.
- Push the rubber sleeve on to the exhaust port on the back of Scio and
plug the connector into the socket on the front of the COSY (Fabius
GS) until it clicks into place.
For other breathing systems:
-Use the sample gas return kit with an integrated bacterial filter and
connect it to the breathing system used adjacent to the expired gas
valve so that the returned sample gas is routed through the CO
2
absorber.
NOTE: Do not use the module without a water trap.
NOTE: If possible, use sample gas recirculation for the following reasons:
To prevent increased anesthetic agent concentration in the operation room.
To conserve anesthetic agents.
To prevent undesired losses of volume during low-flow application.
WARNING: Accumulation of exhaled metabolic products may
occur during low flow anesthesia, therefore monitoring of
oxygen concentration is mandatory. Flushing the circuit with
fresh gas at regular intervals may be necessary particularly if
decreasing oxygen concentrations are measured.
CAUTION:
Replace the bacterial filter in the sample gas tubing every six months.
Strictly follow Instructions for Use of the breathing system.
