Precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) to and from other
equipment.
Failure of Operation: If the CO
2
Sensor fails to respond as described in this user manual; DO NOT use it
until approved for use by qualified personnel.
DO NOT position the sensor cables or tubing in any manner that may cause entanglement or strangulation.
Support the airway adapter to prevent stress on the ET tube.
Reuse, disassembly, cleaning, disinfecting the single patient use CO
2
cannula kits and on-airway adapters
may compromise functionality and system performance leading to a user or patient hazard. Performance is
not guaranteed if an item labeled as single patient use is reused.
Inspect the sidestream on-airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits for damage prior to use. DO NOT
use the sidestream on-airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits if they appear to be damaged or bro-
ken.
If the CO
2
waveform (Capnogram) appears abnormal, inspect the CO
2
airway adapters and replace if need-
ed.
Periodically check the CO
2
/Flow sensor and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion buildup. Do not use
them if there is excessive moisture or exterior condensation.
Electric Shock Hazard: The CO
2
Sensor contains no user serviceable parts.
Refer service to qualified service personnel. Do not open the sensor cabinet at will, as electric shock hazard
may occur.
Place the exhaust vent of the CO
2
Sensor in drafty ambient and do not let anything block the exhaust vent.
Always disconnect the CO
2
Sensor before cleaning. Do NOT use if it appears to have been damaged. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
DO NOT sterilize or immerse the CO
2
Sensor in liquids.
Replace the sidestream on-airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits if excessive secretions are ob-
served.
Do not operate the CO
2
Sensor when it is wet or has exterior condensation.
Monitor the CO
2
waveform (Capnogram). If you see changes or abnormal appearance, check the patient
and the sampling line. Replace line if needed.
DO NOT use device on patients that cannot tolerate the withdrawal of 50 ml/min +/- 10 ml/min from the
airway or patients that cannot tolerate the added dead space to the airway.
Do not apply excessive tension to any sensor cable or pneumatic tubing.
Explosion Hazard: DO NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable gasses. Use
of the CO
2
Sensor in such environment may present an explosion hazard.
Electrical Shock Hazard: Always disconnect the CO
2
Sensor before cleaning. Do NOT use if it appears to
have been damaged. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
The power voltage over monitor working voltage may cause damage to CO
2
sensor. Likewise, too low pow-
er voltage may affect the CO
2
measuring accuracy or even make the CO
2
sensor not work.
When changing sampling tube, it is suggested to choose the default sampling tube with dehumidifying
function. The sampling tube without dehumidifying function may be easily blocked by excessive moisture.
(Use life: ordinary sampling tube: 6~12 hours; the sampling tube with dehumidifying function: about 120
hours.)
If the measurement shows an abnormity caused by sampling tube block, please replace it.
The total length of the sampling tube and extending airway tube shouldn’t be longer than 3 meters, too long
may cause measurement abnormity. If using T connector sampling cannula kits, please insert the sampling
tube with the tubes upward to avoid the affects of excessive moisture.
Altitudes are different in different area, so set the Barometric Pressure setting value as the ambient baro-
metric pressure.
Use the manufacturer approved accessories only.
While using the CO
2
sensor, a system leak, that may be caused by an uncuffed endotracheal tube or a
damaged CO
2
sensor may significantly affect flow-related readings. These include flow, volume, pressure
and other respiratory parameters.
When stopping CO
2
monitor, please disconnect the CO
2
sensor from the patient monitor.
Disposal of the CO
2
Sensor and its accessories should comply with national and/or local requirements.
In the presence of electromagnetic devices (i.e., electrocautery), patient monitoring may be interrupted due
to electromagnetic interference. Electromagnetic fields up to 20 V/m will not adversely affect system per-
formance.
Nitrous oxide, elevated levels of oxygen, helium and halogenated hydrocarbons can influence the CO
2
measurement.
Excessive moisture in the CO
2
may affect the accuracy of the flow measurement.
