Patient Spirometry safety precautions
Patient Spirometry warnings
WARNING
The presence of Helium or Xenon in the breathing circuit
causes incorrect measurement values.
WARNING
Make sure you select the correct sensor type for the patient:
D-lite(+) for adult patients, Pedi-lite(+) for pediatric patients.
WARNING
Always check the sensor type selection from the monitor
( Sensor Type > Adult or Pediatric ).
Patient Spirometry cautions
CAUTION
Never connect the loose end of the gas sampling line to
the Patient Spirometry connector as this may break the
spirometry unit. The Patient Spirometry connector is meant
for the Patient Spirometry tube only.
CAUTION
Do not apply pressurized air or gas to any outlet or tubing
connected to the monitor. Pressure may destroy sensitive
elements.
Patient Spirometry limitations
