4.2 Starting up
1. Snap the EMMA Airway Adapter into EMMA. It will click into place when properly seated.
2. Press the Power On button.
3. When EMMA is ready the ETCO
2
value is zero.
The audible alarm sound may be checked by detaching the Airway Adapter to generate a “Check
Adapter” alarm.
When EMMA is ready the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO
2
) display indicates 0 and the Respiratory
Display indicates “- -“.
If the ETCO
2
display shows a non-zero value, ensure that there has not been an accumulation of CO
2
between EMMA and the EMMA Airway Adapter by removing and reattaching the EMMA Airway Adapter.
If the ETCO
2
still displays a non-zero value after this procedure, perform a Zeroing procedure as
described in chapter 7.4 prior to using EMMA with a patient.
4.3 Switching off
EMMA switches off automatically 15 Sec after that the EMMA Airway Adapter is removed or 2 min after
a No Breath condition is detected and the Alarm Silence button is pressed.
