Connection to Central Unit
1. Ensure that the module is properly orientated (i.e. module release latch facing downward).
2. Align the module insertion guide slot with the frame insertion guide.
3. Push the module into the frame until it clicks.
NOTE: The Compact Airway Modules cannot be placed into the third and fourth slot from the
right-hand side of the Central Unit F-CU8.
3.8.2 Sample gas exhaust
Preventing operation room pollution
When N
2
O or volatile anesthetics are used, pollution of the operation room by these gases
should be prevented. Connect the sample gas outlet of the monitor to the scavenging system
or return it to the patient circuit.
NOTE: The sample gas from the E-MiniC can only be connected to the scavenging, not returned
to the patient circuit.
Connect the sample gas outlet of the monitor to the scavenging system either
• through the ventilator, or
• directly to the vacuum scavenging system.
WARNING Strong scavenging suction may change the operating pressure of the
module and cause inaccurate readings or excessive sample gas flow. To
prevent this, there must for example be an opening to room air.
Connect the sample gas outlet only to open scavenging system where gas is removed in room
pressure.
