NOTE: Dehumidification and cannula tubing can affect the cali-
bration of the airway adapter. If you change to different combina-
tions or lengths of cannula and dehumidification tubing, perform an
adapter calibration.
5. Snap the sensor into the airway adapter. Align the mark on the
bottom of the adapter with the mark on the bottom of the sen-
sor.
6. If you are switching adapter types (e.g., mainstream to side-
stream, or adult to neonatal), you must perform an adapter
calibration. Refer to the section Calibrating the Adapter and
Sensor in this chapter.
7. Insert the cannula tips into the patient’s nostrils, pass the can-
nula tubing behind the ears, and slide the retaining sleeve up
so that the tubing is snug under the chin.
8. Secure the Capnostat sensor to the bedding or to the patient’s
bed clothing.
9. Make sure the sensor cabling and nasal cannula tubing are
secured and out of the patient’s way.
NOTE: It is important to always position the airway adapter verti-
cally. This prevents patient secretions from obscuring the adapter
windows.
