3. After start-up is finished, the [CO
2
Warm-up] message is displayed. The CO
2
module is
in ISO accuracy mode. If you perform CO
2
measurements during warm-up, the
measurement accuracy may be compromised.
4. After warm-up is finished, the CO
2
module enters full accuracy mode.
NOTE
To extend the lifetime of the water trap and CO
2
module, disconnect the water trap
and set the CO
2
monitoring to OFF when CO
2
monitoring is not required.
It takes approximately 2 minutes from powering on the ventilator to reaching the
sidestream CO
2
monitoring performance specified in section B.10 of this manual.
The sidestream CO
2
measurement can be used, with specified accessories, on
intubated and non-intubated, adult and pediatric patients. A sample of the
respiratory gas is drawn from the patient's breathing circuit through an airway
adapter and a gas sampling line.
When dealing with water trap and sampling line, please comply with related
biohazard regulations.
Please don’t block this connector when the sample gas is emitted from CO
2
Module
gas outlet.
CAUTION
The water trap collects water drops condensed in the sampling line, and therefore
it prevents water drops 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 water trap has a filter preventing bacterium, vapor and patient 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 water trap. Replacing the water trap once a month is recommended.
Or, replace the water trap when it is detected leaky, damaged or contaminated.
