Removing Exhaust Gases from the System
Anesthetics: When using the CO
2
measurement on patients who are receiving or
have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, or to
the anesthesia machine/ventilator, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.
To remove the sample gas to a scavenging system, connect an exhaust tube to the
gas outlet connector of the module.
