17.2.5 Taking a CO
2
Measurement
NOTE: When the caution message Occlusion displays, indicating that the
FilterLine which is attached to the handheld monitor is blocked, the
monitor’s CO
2
pump stops pumping the patient’s breath into the
monitor for testing. First disconnect and reconnect the Filterline. If the
message still displays, disconnect and replace the Filterline. Once a
working Filterline is attached to the bedside monitor, the pump
automatically resumes operations.
NOTE: The microstream CO
2
measurement can be used, with specified
accessories, with intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, and
neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory
gas is drawn from the patient's breathing circuit through an airway
adapter and a gas sampling line. With non-intubated patients, the gas
sample is drawn through a nasal cannula.
NOTE: During nebulization or suction for intubated patients, in order to avoid
moisture buildup and sampling line occlusion, remove the sample line
luer connector from the monitor.
1. Select the appropriate tubing for the patient.
NOTE: Replace the sampling line according to hospital protocol or when a
blockage is indicated by the device. Excessive patient secretions or a
build-up of liquids in the airway tubing may occlude the sampling line,
requiring more frequent replacement.
2. Open CO
2
input door on the CO
2
module and connect the sensor. Connect the opposite end to
the patient.
NOTE: Ensure all tubing connections are secure.
NOTE: Consideration should be given to the disposal of packaging waste and
calibration gases.
3. After a warm-up period, the CO
2
waveform and digital CO
2
value display in the CO
2
tile.

. Microstream
capnography is accomplished via a nasal cannula (non-intubated) or through an adapter set for use
in a breathing circuit (intubated). Microstream and can be used on adult, pediatric and neonatal
patients.
NOTE: When monitoring an anesthesized patient in an operating room
environment, connection from the exhaust port of the V 12/V 21 to the
hospital's waste gas scavenging system is recommended to prevent
exposure of hospital personnel to the patient's respiratory sample.
