1.3.11.3 Adapter Selection
Selection of an airway adapter is based on the diameter of the patient’s endotracheal tube.
There are two sizes of airway adapters available:
• Adult Airway Adapter (P/N 0103-15-0003). For use on patients with endotracheal tube
diameters greater than 4.0 mm.
• Neonatal Airway Adapter (P/N 0103-15-0013). For use on patients with endotracheal
tube diameters less than or equal to 4.0 mm.
1.3.11.4 Use of Adult Airway Adapter
The adult airway adapter should be used when monitoring patients with endotracheal tube
diameters greater than 4.0 mm.
1. Verify the windows are clean and dry. Clean or replace the adapter if necessary.
2. Snap the airway adapter into the Capnostat® sensor. Align the line on the bottom of the
airway adapter with the line on the bottom of the Capnostat®. Press the sensor and
airway adapter together until they “click”.
3. If necessary, perform an adapter calibration. See “Adapter Calibration” on page 44.
4. Place the Capnostat® / airway adapter assembly between the elbow and the ventilator
circuit wye.
NOTE: For optimal results, DO NOT place the airway adapter
between the endotracheal tube and the elbow, as this may
allow patient secretions to block the adapter windows.
Position the airway adapter with it’s windows in a vertical
and NOT a horizontal position. This helps keep patient
secretions from “pooling” on the windows.
To prevent “rain-out” and moisture from draining into the airway adapter, DO NOT place
the airway adapter in a gravity dependent position.
