WARNING
16 Do not spray the O-rings of the watertrap holder with silicon spray. Silicon can get
into the measuring cuvette and influence the gas measurement permanently.
17 Always connect the gas exhaust of the medical device and anesthesia machine to
the scavenging system.
18 Used sample lines may be infectious due to the breathing gases that passed through
them. Sampling lines are not reusable and must be replaced after each patient
unless a bacterial filter is in place between sample line and patient.
19 Ensure proper ventilation of the place where the medical device is located.
20 Negligent placement of sample line, cables, and similar device components can
endanger the patient. Use particular diligence when establishing connections to the
patient.
21 To avoid temporary influence on the gas measurement and prevent damage to the
water trap and measuring system do not use nebulizers/aerosols in the breathing
system, when the medical device is connected.
22 Do not wash or disinfect the inside of the sample line or watertrap to avoid temporary
influence on the gas measurement and prevent damage to the watertrap and
measuring system. Do not sterilize the sample line or watertrap.
CAUTION
1 Strictly observe the requirements in the user manual while using the module.
2 Do not operate the medical device without watertrap.
3 If the water trap is nearly filled, you should replace it to avoid blocking the airway.
4 Do not apply excessive pressure (e.g., syringe, or compressed air) to the inlet,
exhaust port, or the water trap of the medical device.
5 To avoid temporary influence on the gas measurement and prevent condensation
and resulting failure of electrical components, do not switch on the medical device
after significant temperature changes for 1 to 2 hours (e.g., after storage in unheated
rooms).
