WARNING
11
The 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.
12
Measurements can be affected by mobile and portable RF communications
equipment. Make sure that the ISA sidestream gas analyzer is used in the
electromagnetic environment specified in this manual.
13
Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red, or
the monitor displays “Sample Line Occluded” message.
14
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.
15
The ISA sidestream gas analyzers are not designed for MRI environments.
16
During MRI scanning, ISA must be placed outside the MRI suite.
17
Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the monitor may
produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
18
Do not apply negative pressure to remove condensed water from the Nomoline
Family sampling line.
19
Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might affect the sample
flow.
20
Strong scavenging suction pressure might affect the sample flow.
21
Exhaust gases should be returned to the patient circuit or a scavenging system.
22
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.
23
Do not place the ISA gas analyzer in any position that might cause it to fall on the
patient.
24
Do not re-use disposable single-patient use Nomoline Family sampling lines due to
the risk of cross contamination.
25
Do not sterilize or immerse Nomoline Family sampling lines in liquid.
26
Do not operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer if the enclosure is damaged.
27
Do not use the NomoLine Adult/Pediatric Airway Adapter Sets for infants/neonates as
the adult/pediatric airway adapter adds 6 ml dead space.
28
Do not use the NomoLine Infant/Neonate Airway Adapter Sets for adults/pediatrics, as
they may cause excessive flow resistance (0.7 ml dead space).
29
Disconnect the module from the gas inlet or set
