Carbon Dioxide Sensor and Airway Adapter Tube
Carbon Dioxide Sensor
The Model 9840SA CO
2
Sensor is a crescent-shaped device containing light emitting and detecting
elements (figure 7) on the end of a cable that connects to the 9847V. The CO
2
sensor is connected
onto the Model 9840AAT Airway Adapter Tube, which in turn is connected between the endotracheal
tube and the breathing circuit of an intubated animal.

WARNING: Do not use a damaged sensor. If the sensor is damaged in any way,
discontinue use immediately and replace the sensor.
CAUTION:
Before use, carefully read the Instructions for Use provided with the
sensors and airway adapters.
CAUTION:
Water or other liquid between the airway adapter tube and the CO
2
sensor may cause erroneous readings.
CAUTION:
Ensure all connections to the airway adapter tube are tight and leak-free,
and that the airway adapter tube is properly attached to the CO
2
sensor.
