18.2.2 Safety Information for IRMA Module
WARNING
1 The IRMA probe is intended for use by authorized and trained medical personnel
only.
2 The IRMA probe must not be used with flammable anesthetic agents.
3 Disposable IRMA airway adapters shall not be reused. Used disposable airway
adapters shall be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for medical wastes.
4 Use only PHASEIN manufactured oxygen sensor cells. Depleted oxygen sensors
shall be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for batteries.
5 Do not use the IRMA Adult/Pediatric adapter with infants as the adapter adds 6 ml
dead space to the patient circuit.
6 Do not use the IRMA airway adapter with adults as this may cause excessive flow
resistance.
7 Measurements can be affected by mobile and RF communications equipment. It
should be assured that the IRMA probe is used in the electromagnetic environment
specified in this manual.
8 Do not place the IRMA airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and an elbow
as this may allow patient secretions to block the adapter windows and result in
incorrect operation.
9 To keep secretions and moisture from pooling on the windows or oxygen sensor port,
always position the IRMA probe in a vertical position with the LED pointing upwards.
