WARNING
The
etCO2
,
inCO2
, and
RRc
alarms do not activate until the second breath is detected after
turning on the monitor or discharging a patient.
WARNING
RRc
apnea alarms are NOT reported if the setting
RRc Apnea Time
is set to
OFF
in the
etCO2
setup menu and the
RRc
alarm feature is deactivated. To generate
RRc
apnea alarms, activate
the
RRc
alarms and select an
RRc
apnea time.
WARNING
To minimize the risk of patient strangulation, carefully position and secure sensor cables.
WARNING
Patient monitors that measure CO
2
, anesthetic agents, and/or respiratory mechanics are not
intended to be used as an apnea monitor and/or recording device. While these products provide
an apnea alarm, that alarm condition is initiated based on the elapsed time since the last breath
was detected. Clinical diagnosis of a true apneic event, however, requires multiple physiological
signals.
WARNING
In an ambient temperature of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C), the CO
2
mainstream sensor reaches
a surface temperature of 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
WARNING
Do not use the CO
2
mainstream sensor in an explosive or oxygen-enriched environment
(atmosphere) (100% oxygen is allowed in the measuring cuvette). Fire hazard!
WARNING
Risk of device failure and/or patient injury and user injury
Magnetic fields can negatively influence the correct functioning of the medical device and
therefore endanger the patient or user.
Do not use the medical device near magnetic resonance imagers (MRI, NMR, NMI).
WARNING
Do not use any explosive anesthetic agents (e.g., ether or cyclopropane). Fire hazard!
CAUTION
Leaks in the breathing circuit (for example, an uncuffed endotracheal tube or a damaged cuvette) may
significantly affect
CO
2
measurement values.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental disconnections, do not apply excessive tension to any sensor cable.
