8.5 Use a Mainstream CO2 Module
NOTE
z This section is only applicable to the anesthesia machine configured with
mainstream CO2 module.
8.5.1 Prepare to Measure CO2
1. Connect the sensor to the CO2 module.
2. By default, the mainstream CO2 module is in measure mode. The [CO2 Warmup]
message appears on the screen when the CO2 module is plugged in.
3. After warm-up is finished, connect the sensor to the airway adapter.
4. Perform a zero calibration by referring to8.5.4Zero the Sensor.
5. After the zero calibration is finished, connect the airway as shown below.
5. Make sure that there are no leakages in the airway and then perform CO2 measurements.
NOTE
z Always position the sensor with the adapter in an upright position to avoid
collection of fluids on the windows of the adapter. Large concentrations of fluids at
this point will obstruct gas analysis.
