Airway gases
Stopping the airway gases measurement
1.
Remove the added adapters from the patient’s breathing circuit and gas
scavenging.
2.
Check the patient’s breathing circuit.
3.
Remove the gas module from the monitor when it is not used.
Calibrating airway gases
Perform calibration every six months in normal use, once every two months in
continuous use, and whenever there are indications of errors in the gas readings to
ensure that the measurement accuracy remains within specifications.
NOTE
Ensure that the calibration gas and regulator are functioning
properly before calibration. Perform annual maintenance of
the regulator as required.
NOTE
Make sure that you are using a correct GE Healthcare
calibration gas, see the CARESCAPE Modular Monitors
Supplemental Information Manual. Do not use any other
calibration gases.
1.
Turn on the patient monitor. For maximum accuracy, let the monitor warm up
for 30 minutes.
2.
Attach a regulator to the calibration gas cylinder.
3.
Attach a new sampling line to the water trap. Connect the other end of the
sampling line to the regulator on the gas container.
4.
Select a gas related parameter window >
Calibration
tab.
5.
Wait until the messages
Zero OK
and
Feed gas
appear after each gas on the
screen.
6.
Open the regulator and feed gas until the message
Adjust
appears, then close
the valve.
7.
Check that the displayed values match the values on the calibration gas container.
Adjust if necessary:
a. Select the first gas to be adjusted.
b. Adjust the value until it matches the desired value on the gas container.
8.
Confirm by selecting
Accept
9.
If the calibration is successful, the message
Calibration OK
is displayed for a few
seconds. If the calibration fails, the message
Calibration error
appears instead.
In this case, start a new calibration by selecting
Recalibrate
.
If the message
Zero error
appears, repeat the calibration procedure. If the problem
persists, contact authorized service personnel.
