What to do if the ZOLL Medical Equipment displays 'CHECK CO2 ADAPTER'?
- A
  amandamccallAug 18, 2025
  The error 'CHECK CO2 ADAPTER' on your ZOLL Medical Equipment typically occurs when the airway adapter is detached from the CAPNOSTAT 5 CO sensor, there's an optical obstruction on the adapter's windows, or an adapter zero wasn't performed after switching adapter types. You can resolve this by cleaning and reattaching the airway adapter. If the issue remains or the adapter type was changed, you should perform a mainstream airway adapter zero.

What to do if the ZOLL E EtCO2 Medical Equipment displays 'CHECK CO2 LINE'?
- N
  Nicole HoffmanAug 20, 2025
  The 'CHECK CO2 LINE' error on ZOLL Medical Equipment indicates a blockage or damage to the sample line, a kinked or pinched sample line, or a blocked exhaust tube. To solve this, ensure the sample line is correctly plugged into the module. Check that the sample line and exhaust tube are free from blockages, kinks, or pinches, and verify the airway adapter isn't blocked. If the issue persists after clearing any blockages, try replacing the sample line.

- J
  James JamesAug 26, 2025
  The error 'CO2 UNIT ERROR' on your ZOLL Medical Equipment indicates a hardware problem with the EtCO sensor or module. First, ensure the sensor is correctly plugged in by reinserting it. Then, power the unit off and on to reset it. You can also perform a mainstream airway adapter or module zero. If the issue persists, contact Technical Support.

What to do if the ZOLL E EtCO2 Medical Equipment displays 'CO2 COMM ERROR'?
- K
  kfloresAug 27, 2025
  The 'CO2 COMM ERROR' on your ZOLL E Series Medical Equipment means there's no communication from the EtCO2 module or sensor. Try turning the E Series unit off and then on again to reset it. You can also try using a different EtCO sensor. If the problem continues, the sensor or unit may need to be returned for service.

What to do if the ZOLL E EtCO2 Medical Equipment displays 'CO2 OUT OF RANGE' (dashed lines for CO)?
- J
  Jamie KelleySep 4, 2025
  The 'CO2 OUT OF RANGE' error (dashed lines for CO2) on your ZOLL Medical Equipment means the calculated CO2 value is higher than 150 mmHg. To fix this, perform a mainstream airway adapter or module zero.
D
Deborah HillSep 6, 2025
What does 'CO2 IN ADAPTER: WAIT' mean on ZOLL E EtCO2?
- J
  Jennifer MillerSep 7, 2025
  The 'CO2 IN ADAPTER: WAIT' message on your ZOLL Medical Equipment appears when there's CO2 in the airway adapter during a zeroing attempt, or if zeroing was attempted too soon after a previous zero operation. Remove the airway adapter from any CO2 source, including the patient's exhaled breaths and ventilator exhaust valves. Wait up to 20 seconds before trying a mainstream airway adapter zero again.

What to do if the ZOLL E EtCO2 displays 'ZERO CO2 ADAPTER'?
- R
  Roger BraySep 9, 2025
  The 'ZERO CO2 ADAPTER' error on your ZOLL Medical Equipment indicates negative CO2 was detected, possibly due to zeroing the sensor with CO2 present in the airway or an optical blockage. Inspect the airway adapter and clean it if necessary. Then, perform a mainstream airway adapter zero.
