Monitoring Carbon Dioxide
4-2 Efficia CM Series Rack and Modules Instructions for Use
Intended Use
The CO
2
measurement module is intended for use under the direct supervision of a
licensed healthcare practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. The module is
used in the Efficia rack to monitor carbon dioxide in Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal
patients within a hospital or medical facility.
Preparing to use the CO
2
measurement module
The patient monitor can be configured to use internal CO
2
or external CO
2
from either the
Gas or CO
2
module. If your monitor is configured for internal CO
2
, but you prefer to use
either the Gas module or CO
2
module, you will notice that the Rack button will be red
and a message will be displayed indicating that only one CO
2
must be selected, as
displayed in the following screenshot.
Figure 4-2 Modules Configuration
To use the Gas or CO
2
module, clear the check mark for the internal CO
2
and then select
the check box for the Gas or CO
2
module. The internal CO
2
button text will remain red to
indicate that one of the existing measurements cannot be enabled. And the message
“Only one CO
2
can be enabled at a time. The CO
2
connected to the patient should be
selected” is displayed.
Note: If your monitor is configured for internal CO
2
and you remove the Gas or CO
2
module from the
rack, the internal CO
2
is not automatically enabled. You must select it as described above.
