NOTE:
For disposal of hospital waste such as accumulated fluids, calibration gases, sampled
gases, where not otherwise specified, follow local regulations regarding disposal of
hospital waste.
17.3 Monitoring Steps
Nomoline Family Sampling Lines
ISA samples gas from the respiratory circuit through the Nomoline Family sampling line at a rate
of 50 sml/min, making measurements of CO

possible for adult, pediatric and infant patients.
The Nomoline Family sampling lines incorporate a unique water separation (NO MOisture)
section, which removes condensed water. The NOMO section is also fitted with a bacteria filter
that protects the gas analyzer from water intrusion and cross contamination.
As long as no sampling line is connected, the ISA gas analyzer remains in a low-power sleep
mode. Once the sampling line is connected, the ISA gas analyzer switches to measuring mode
and starts delivering gas data.
The Nomoline Family sampling lines are available in a wide variety of versions for both
intubated and spontaneously breathing patients and in both disposable and re-sposable
configurations –intubated patients can for instance be monitored using the disposable Nomoline
Airway adapter Set or a com-bination of the multiple patient use Nomoline Adapter and a
disposable Nomoline Extension / T-adapter. Spontaneously breathing patients could similarly be
monitored using a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO

Cannula or a combination of the multiple
patient use Nomoline Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO

Cannula with Luer
Connector.

Figure 1.The disposable Nomoline Airway Adapter Set is an alternative to using a combination of
the multiple patient use Nomoline Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Extension / T-adapter.
The Nomoline Adapter may be used with other third party sampling lines and cannulas. Please
however note that the Nomoline Family of sampling lines are designed for optimal performance
and measure-ment fidelity when used with the ISA gas analyzers. For instance, when connecting
to a respiratory circuit, the Masimo T-adapter provides a central gas sampling point thereby
minimizing the risk of sampling line occlusion (see below)
