WARNING: Use only airway T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the adapter.
WARNING: Do only use sample lines intended for anesthetic agents if N2O and/or anesthetic
agents are being used.
WARNING: Do not use T-adapter with infants, as this adds 7 ml dead space to the patient
circuit.
WARNING: Do not use the ISA gas analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized
medications as this may clog the bacteria filter.
WARNING: Since a successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air (21% O2 and 0%
CO2), ensure that the ISA is placed in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing near the ISA
sidestream gas analyzer before or during the zeroing procedure.
WARNING: Never sterilize or immerse the ISA sidestream gas analyzer in liquid.
WARNING: Measurements can be affected by mobile and portable RF communications
equipment.
WARNING: Make sure that the ISA sidestream gas analyzer is used in the electromagnetic
environment specified in this manual.
WARNING: ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment.
It must be used in conjunction with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING: Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red,
or a “Sample line clogged” message is displayed on the host.
WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed without authorization of the
manufacturer. If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be
conducted to ensure continued safe operation.
WARNING: ISA sidestream gas analyzers are not designed for MRI environments.
WARNING: During MRI scanning, the <host device> must be placed outside the MRI suite.
WARNING: Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the ISA/<host
device> may produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
WARNING: Do not apply negative pressure to remove condensed water from the Nomoline
Family sampling line.
WARNING: Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might affect the
sample flow.
WARNING: Strong scavenging suction pressure might affect the sample flow.
Exhaust gases should be returned to the patient circuit or to a scavenging system.
WARNING: Due to the risk of patient cross-infection, always use a bacteria filter on the
exhaust port side if sampled gas is intended to be re-breathed.
