ENGLISH
Always verify and check the gas readings and waveforms on the monitor before connecting the IRMA airway adapter to
the breathing circuit.
Perform the tightness check of the patient circuit with the IRMA probe snapped on the IRMA airway adapter.
Operating instruction
On MultiGas Setup screen, set the Switch to “ON” to start the PhaseIn MultiGas Analyzer.

3. Zero Procedure
Warning: Incorrect probe Zeroing will result in false gas reading.
In order to secure high precision of the IRMA probe measurement the following zeroing recommendations should be
followed:
1). Zeroing is performed by snapping a new IRMA airway adapter onto the IRMA probe, without connecting the airway
adapter tot the patient circuit, and then using the host instrument to transmit a Zero reference command to the IRMA
probe.
2). Special care should be taken to avoid breathing near the airway adapter before or during Zeroing procedure. The
presence of ambient air (21% O
2
and 0% CO
2
) in the IRMA airway adapter is of crucial importance for a successful Zeroing.
If a “ZERO_REQ” alarm should be appear directly after a Zeroing procedure, the procedure has to be repeated.
Caution: always perform a pre-use check after Zeroing the probe.
1). IRMA AX+ probe
Zeroing should be performed every time the IRMA airway adapter is replaced, or whenever an offset in gas values or an
unspecified gas accuracy message is displayed.
2). Allow 30 seconds for warm up of the IRMA AX+ probe after power on and after changing the IRMA airway adapter
before proceeding with the Zeroing Procedure.
3). The green LED on the probe will be blinking for approximately 5 seconds while Zeroing is in progress.
4.Instruction for Safe Operation --- IRMA Mainstream

The IRMA probe is intended for use by authorized and trained medical personnel only.

The IRMA probe is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with other
assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.

The IRMA probe must not be used with flammable anesthetic agents.
