3.1.3.4 Connecting the CO
2
sidestream sensor
WARNING
• Always ensure the integrity of the patient
breathing circuit after insertion of the sample
kit by verifying a proper CO
2
waveform (capno-
gram) on the ventilator display.
• If the capnogram appears abnormal, calibrate
the CO
2
sensor, inspect the CO
2
sample kit and
replace if needed.
• Monitor the capnogram for higher-than
expected CO
2
levels during ventilation. These
can be caused by sensor or patient problems.
• Do not use the CO
2
sensor module if it appears
to have been damaged or if it fails to operate
properly. Refer servicing of the module to HAM-
ILTON MEDICAL authorized personnel.
• To reduce the risk of explosion, DO NOT place
the CO
2
sensor in a combustible or explosive
environment (for example, around flammable
anesthetics or other ignition sources).
• DO NOT operate the CO
2
sensor when it is wet
or has exterior condensation.
