Care and Cleaning of Gas Module
The Gas Module enclosure may be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution or
ammoniated window cleaner. Apply cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly onto the Gas
Module. DO NOT apply large amounts of liquid. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or
organic solvents.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the Gas Module while it is on and/or plugged
CAUTION:
The internal sampling system of the Gas Module does not
need to be cleaned or sterilized. There is no reverse flow
back to the patient. If the internal sampling system is
suspected to be clogged or dirty, the module should be
serviced by an authorized service person only.

The Water Trap Reservoir must be checked and emptied whenever changing patients or
if it is more than half full.
• To remove the water trap, push the water trap latch to the right. The water trap is
spring loaded and will pop out. An Air Leak message will be displayed. The monitor
will suspend sampling.
• Detach the reservoir from the water trap assembly by pulling it down carefully.
• Empty the reservoir and rinse with water only.
• Re-attach the reservoir to the assembly tightly.
• Re-install the whole unit into the Gas Module making sure the latch is set. Check that
the Air Leak message disappears and monitoring resumes.
NOTE:
Do not disinfect or open the water trap. If an occlusion
message appears it may be necessary to replace the water
trap assembly part number 0202-00-0129.
The Water Trap Assembly must be replaced every two months.
