To Empty the Water Trap
The water trap should be emptied if the contents have reached the ‘full’ mark. Replace
the water trap if it has been in use for 4 weeks (see page 23-25).
1. Disconnect the sampling tubing.
2. Remove the trap from its connector by holding it firmly on
the ridged surfaces and pulling it out from the Scio module.
3. Connect an empty syringe (size > 20 ml and without a
needle) to the port on the back of the water trap.
4. Aspirate the water trap contents into syringe.
5. Remove the syringe and discard it.
6. Reseat water trap by pressing it against the Scio. A click will indicate that it is
seated properly.
7. Reconnect the sampling tubing (before monitoring a new patient, exchange
the tubing and T-connector, see page 23-24).
