4. Connect the exhaust tube to the gas outlet on the module to scavenge the sample gas to
the waste gas disposal system.
5. By default, the AG module is in measure mode. The message [
AG Startup
] appears on
the screen when the AG module is plugged in.
6. After start-up is finished, the message [
AG Warmup
] is displayed. The AG module is
in ISO accuracy mode. If you perform AG measurements during warm-up, the
measurement accuracy may be compromised.
7. After warm-up is finished, the AG module enters full accuracy mode.
CAUTION
z
Position the airway adapter properly so that the part connecting to the gas
sampling tube is pointing upwards. This prevents condensed water from entering
the gas sampling tube and causing an occlusion as a result.
z
The watertrap collects water drops condensed in the sampling tube and therefore
prevents them from entering the module. If the collected water reaches a certain
amount, you should drain it to avoid airway blockage.
z
The watertrap has a filter preventing bacterium, vapor and patient secretions from
entering the module. After a long-term use, dust or other substances may
compromise the performance of the filter or even block the airway. In this case,
replace the watertrap. Replacing the watertrap once a month is recommended.
WARNING
z
Do not apply adult watertraps to neonatal patients. Otherwise, patient injury could
result.
z
Make sure that all connections are reliable. Any leak in the system can result in
erroneous readings due to patient breathing gas mixed with ambient air.
