8 CO2 measurement (optional)
The IRMA™ airway adapter is a disposable product and not designed to be reused.
Reuse of the disposable adapter may cause cross-infection.
Do not use the IRMA™ airway adapter for adults and children with infants because
the adapter increases the dead space in the patient's breathing system by 6 ml.
Do not use the IRMA™ airway adapter for infants with adults because this may cause
excessive flow resistance.
Mobile and RF communication devices may impair the measurements. It must be
ensured that the probe is used in an electromagnetic environment as specified in the
operating instructions.
The use of RF electrosurgical devices in the vicinity of the IRMA™ CO
2
analyzer or
the EVE
TR
may cause interference and erroneous measurements.
The IRMA™ CO
2
analyzer is not designed for use in MRI environments.
Do not use the IRMA™ airway adapter together with metered-dose inhalers or
medication nebulizers because this impairs the translucency of the adapter's view
ports.
