15.3 Preparing to Measure CO2
WARNING
Eliminate the exhausted gas before performing the measurement.
Check that the alarm limit settings are appropriate before taking measurement.
NOTE
Perform the measurement in a well-ventilated environment.
15.3.1 Using a Sidestream CO
2
Module
Attach the watertrap to the module and then connect the CO
2
components as shown below. The message [CO2 Sensor
Warmup] is displayed. If you perform CO
2
measurements during warm-up, the measurement accuracy may be
compromised. After warm-up is finished, you can perform CO
2
measurements.
WARNING
Do not apply adult watertrap to the neonate patient. Otherwise, patient injury could result.
CAUTION
The watertrap collects water drops condensed in the sampling line and therefore prevents them from
entering the module. If the collected water reaches a certain amount , you should drain it to avoid blocking
the airway. Dispose of accumulated fluids in accordance with the hospital policy or your local regulations.
The watertrap has a filter preventing bacterium, water and secretions from entering the module. After a
long-term use, dust or other substances may compromise the performance of the filter or even block the
airway. In this case, replace the watertrap. It is recommended to replace the watertrap once a month, or
when the watertrap is found leaky, damaged or contaminated.
