17.4 Preparing to Measure AG
1. Select an appropriate watertrap according to patient category and attach it to the module.
2. Connect the gas sample line to the watertrap connector.
3. Connect the other end of the gas sampling line to the patient via the airway adapter.
4. Connect the gas outlet to a scavenging system using an exhaust tube.
5. Insert the AG module to the monitor and the monitor will prompt [AG Startup]. Then the AG module starts to
warmup and at the same time the monitor prompts [AG Warmup]. After 45 seconds, the AG module enters the iso
accuracy mode. After 10 minutes, the module enters the full accuracy mode.
WARNING
 Make sure that the connections are tight. Any leak in the system can result in erroneous readings due to
ambient air mixing with patient gases.
 Do not apply adult watertrap to the neonate patient. Otherwise, patient injury could result.
 Using high-frequency electrosurgical units may increase the risk of skin burn. In this case, do not use
antistatic or conductive respiratory tubing.
 Check that the alarm limit settings are appropriate before taking measurement.
CAUTION
 Position the airway adapter so that the part connecting to the gas sample line is pointing upwards. This
prevents condensed water from passing into the gas sample line and causing an occlusion.
 The watertrap collects water drops condensed in the sampling line and therefore prevents them from
entering the module. To avoid blocking the airway, empty the watertrap container whenever half full.
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
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. Replacing the watertrap once a month is recommended.
