NomoLine Sampling Lines
NomoLine ISA CO2 samples gas from the respiratory circuit through the NomoLine Family
sampling line at a rate of 50 sml/min, making measurements of CO
2
possible for adult,
pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. The NomoLine Family of sampling lines are designed
for optimal performance and measurement fidelity when used with the NomoLine ISA CO2
gas analyzers.
NomoLine sampling lines include nasal and nasal/oral cannulas for non-intubated patients
with and without supplementary oxygen delivery and airway adapter sets for intubated
patients.
As long as no sampling line is connected, the NomoLine ISA CO2 gas analyzer remains in a
low-power sleep mode. Once the sampling line is connected, the NomoLine ISA CO2 gas
analyzer switches to measuring mode and starts delivering gas data.

Sampling Line Replacement
NomoLine sampling lines should be replaced between each patient or when the sampling
line becomes occluded. Occlusion occurs when water, secretions etc. are aspirated from the
respiratory circuit to such an extent that NomoLine capnography cannot maintain the normal
50 ml/min sample flow. This is indicated by a red flashing LEGI indicator and an alarm
message; replace the sampling line and wait until the LEGI indicator switches to green,
indicating that the NomoLine ISA CO2 gas analyzer is again ready for use.
