17.2 Safety Information
17.2.1 Safety Information for ISA Analyzer
WARNING
1 The ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended for use by authorized healthcare
professionals only.
2 Use only Nomoline sampling lines manufactured by Masimo.
3 The ISA analyzer must not be used with flammable anesthetic agents.
4 Carefully route the sampling line to reduce the risk of patient entanglement or
strangulation.
5 Do not re-use disposable single-patient use Nomoline Family sampling lines due to
the risk of cross contamination.
6 Do not lift the monitor by the sampling line as it could disconnect from the monitor,
causing the monitor to fall on the patient.
7 Dispose Nomoline Family sampling lines in accordance with local regulations for
biohazardous waste; otherwise, it may cause environmental contamination.
8 Use only airway T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the adapter.
9 Do only use sample lines intended for anesthetic agents if N
2
O and/or anesthetic
agents are being used.
10 Do not use T-adapter with infants, as this adds 7 ml dead space to the patient circuit.
11 Do not use adult/pediatric type sampling line configurations with infants, as this may
add dead space to the patient circuit.
12 Do not use infant type sampling line configurations with adults, as this may cause
excessive flow resistance.
13 Do not use the ISA analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized medications as
this may clog the bacteria filter.
14 Check that the gas sample flow is not too high for the present patient category.
15 Since a successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air (21% O
2
and 0%
CO
2
), ensure that the ISA is placed in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing near
the ISA sidestream gas analyzer before or during the zeroing procedure.
16 The Nomoline sampling line and its interfaces are non-sterile devices. To avoid
damage, do not autoclave any part of the sampling line.
17 Measurements can be affected by mobile and portable RF communications
equipment. Make sure that the ISA sidestream gas analyzer is used in the
electromagnetic environment specified in this manual.
18 Do not use external ambient cooling of the ISA device.
