3.
For a non-intubated patient, position the
cannula on the patient according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Warning
The cannula is disposable and should only be used for a
single patient. Do not reuse the cannula for another patient.
If oxygen is being delivered while using Sidestream CO
2
,
be sure to use a CO

Sampling and O
2
Delivery Cannula. Using a
different type of cannula could obstruct oxygen delivery.
4.
Connect the sample line to the cannula (for a non-intubated patient) or the elbow connector
(for an intubated patient) and the watertrap. Make sure that the sample line is firmly
connected.
Warning
The exhaust port for Sidestream CO
2
is an output for the expired gases from the patient and any connected
breathing apparatus. The exhaust port is intended only for connection to gas collection equipment such as gas
scavenger devices (the device should comply with ISO 8835-3:1997 E). Do not allow any other connection to the
exhaust port.
If the Sidestream CO
2
option is connected to a ventilatory circuit, be sure to adjust appropriate ventilator or
anesthesia system settings to compensate for the sampling flow volume (90 or 175 ml/min) that is aspirated from the
ventilatory circuit by the Sidestream CO
2
option.
If you use a gas scavenging system with Sidestream CO
2
, be sure to install it according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The scavenging system should comply with ISO 8835-3:1997 (E).
Sidestream CO
2
accuracy decreases if additional tubing is connected to the sample line. Avoid
connecting additional tubing to the standard sample line.
