NOTES:
! Sampling lines and T-connectors to the patient’s airway are not
reusable. They must be replaced under the following condi-
tions:
-- A new patient is connected to the module.
-- The cleanliness of the tubing/connector is suspect.
! Use only Dräger-approved sidestream sampling lines. Dräger
does not assume responsibility for the reliability and safety of
Scio measurements, if non-approved tubing is used.
WARNINGS:
! Do not use the module without a Watertrap.
! Sampling lines should be kept as short as possible
(but not stretched) to minimize dead space and opti-
mize response time. Long sampling lines degrade
the performance of side stream measurements, may
affect accuracy, and result in slower response times.
! Always use Dräger-approved Scio sampling lines
(polypropylene). Never use standard pressure-sen-
sor tubing (PVC). PVC tubing absorbs anesthetic
agents, which it later releases (degassing). The use
of standard PVC tubing can result in erroneous agent
concentration readings.
! Sampling lines and T-connectors are not reusable
and must be replaced after each patient. Water traps
and fan filters must be replaced at regular intervals
(see the appendix Cleaning, Disinfecting, Sterilizing).
! To avoid the risk of explosion, do not use flammable
anesthetic agents such as ether and cyclopropane in
the presence of the Scio module.
