Caution: Ensure CO

has been fully released prior to disposing of the cartridge. This may be
accomplished by: (i) turning the regulator to “OFF”, (ii) detaching the female luer fitting from
the blue luer lock ring on the VitalsBridge, (iii) slowly turning the regulator knob clockwise

manner. The CO

yourself and others. Wear eye protection. Ensure that the knob is turned to the off position
before a new cartridge is installed.
Caution: When not in use turn the CO

to the off position and disconnect the CO

line from the
VitalsBridge.
