adapter
Connect the CO
2
sensor ISA CO
2
to the configured BF interface on the back
of the ventilator using the connection cable and the CO
2
adapter (see separate
accessory list).
Using the approved support, fasten the sidestream sensor to one of the two side
handles of the ventilator. Using a sampling line, connect the sensor to the appro-
priate port of the HME filter.
Warning
The sampling line must be replaced after each patient to avoid
cross-contamination.
When using a sidestream CO
2
sensor, you can choose between sampling lines
with Luer-Lock connectors (such as on the HME filter) or with a tube adapter
(e.g., for combination with heated tubing systems). The respective sampling line
is first connected to the gas inlet of the sidestream CO
2
sensor and then to the
corresponding connection in the breathing circuit.
