Introduction Warnings, Precautions and Notes
vii 0070-00-0420 Passport 5-Lead, 5L, LT, XG Service Manual
WARNING: The site should be checked at least every eight (8) hours
(every four (4) hours with the Adult re-usable finger sensor).
Ensure proper adhesion, skin integrity, and proper
alignment. Nail polish and fungus may effect readings.
Exercise extreme caution with poorly perfused patients.
Skin erosion and pressure necrosis can be caused when
sensors are not frequently monitored. Assess the site every
two (2) hours with poorly perfused patients.
WARNING: Do not use the following 3-Lead ECG cables with Passport
XG (P/N’s 0998-00-0133-xx, 0998-00-0134-xx and 0998-
00-0137-xx): 0012-00-0620-05, -06, -07, -08; 0012-00-
0722-05, -06, -07, 08; 0012-00-0723-05, -06, -07, -08;
0012-00-0724-05, -06, -07, -08. The above 3-Lead cables
contain a jumper wire which connects RL (right leg) to LL (left
leg). As a result, when you view aVR, aVL and aVF you will
see the appropriate ECG waveforms (even though you are
using a 3-lead cable). However, there may be excessive
noise on these waveforms which can corrupt the heart rate
calculation. See Section 5 in the Datascope P/N’s 0070-00-
397, 0070-00-0440, 0070-00-0503 of the Passport
Operating Instructions for a list of the proper ECG cables.
WARNING: If the sensor or patient cable is damaged in any way,
discontinue use immediately. To prevent damage do not
soak or immerse the sensor in any liquid solution. Do not
attempt to sterilize.
WARNING: The maximum sampling rate at the nasal cannula is 200 ml/
min. This device should not be used on patients whose
breathing could be impaired by this vacuum flow rate.
WARNING: Connection of the Passport’s exhaust port to the hospital’s
waste gas scavenge system is recommended to prevent
exposure of hospital personnel to the patient’s respiratory
sample.
WARNING: In an intubated configuration, ensure all tubing connections
are tight. If tubing disconnects on the monitor side of the
airway adapter, ventilator pressures cause inaccurate CO
2
waveforms and readouts to be displayed.
WARNING: The maximum sampling rate at the nasal cannula is 200 ml/
min. This device should not be used on patients whose
breathing could be impaired by this vacuum flow rate.
WARNING: Connection of the Gas Module exhaust port (50) to the
hospital’s waste gas scavenge system is strongly
recommended to prevent exposure of hospital personnel to
the patient’s respiratory sample. Vacuum (negative
pressure) should not exceed 1 mmHg at the Gas Module
Pump Exhaust fitting (50). Excessive scavenge vacuum may
result in damage to the Gas Module’s internal pump.
