Warm-Up
Upon start-up, the Scio module passes through an initialization
and warm-up period. During this time, concentrations for certain
gases may not be available and the anesthetic agent may not be
identified. Scio achieves full accuracy after a warm-up period of
about 5 minutes.
WARNIN G: During warm-up, reported values may not
be accurate. Refer to the Technical Data appendix for a
detailed description of Scio accuracy.
Site of Operation
The site of operation must meet the temperature, humidity, and
atmospheric pressure requirements listed in the appendix Techni-
cal Data. In addition, observe the following guidelines:
! Make sure that the platform which supports the module is
large enough, level, and stable.
! Make sure that the fan exhaust screen at the rear of the mod-
ule and the ventilation holes on the underside are not
obstructed.
! Place the module at least 25 cm (10 inches) away from any
possible source of ignition, such as sparking.
! Place the module close enough to the patient so that the sam-
pling lines can reach the airway T-connector and the exhaust
tubing the hospital’s exhaust gas scavenging system without
stretching.
WARNINGS:
!
Do not use mobile phones within 33 feet (10 m) of the
Scio module. Such phones may cause equipment mal-
function.
! Do not expose the Scio module to mechanical vibra-
tions or shock during measurements. Mechanical vibra-
tions or shock can have adverse effects on measured
gas values.
! The operation of the Scio module in magnetic reso-
nance imaging environments (MRI) is not supported.
! Do not use a Scio module near devices with microwave
or other high-frequency emissions. These emissions
may interfere with the module’s operation.
