To verify the CO

sensor readings, a gas span check shall be performed
every year, preferably when the Vivo 65 is sent for service.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the CO
2
sensor using a lint-free cloth moistened, but
not wet, with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol (< 70%).
Disposal
The CO
2
sensor must be disposed of in accordance with the local envi-
ronmental regulations regarding the disposal of used equipment and
waste.
Using the Vivo 65 with the SpO
2
Module
The SpO
2
module, consisting of a SpO
2
sensor, an electronic unit and
cable, is intended to measure functional oxygen saturation of arterial
hemoglobin (SpO
2
) and pulse rate.
The SpO
2
sensor can be connected to the Vivo 65 in order to monitor
and store SpO
2
measurements. The SpO
2
measurements will be stored in
the data memory which can be downloaded to a PC and viewed in the
Vivo 65 PC software.
See the Vivo 65 service manual for how to perform the gas span check.
Do not under any circumstances attempt to service or repair the CO
2
sen-
sor yourself. If you do so, the manufacturer will no longer be responsible
for the performance and safety of the CO
2
sensor.
• Always be careful when cleaning to ensure that you do not damage
any equipment.
• Fluid must not be allowed to enter into the CO
2
sensor.
• Remove the airway adapter before cleaning.
• Do not sterilize the CO
2
sensor.
• Do not autoclave the CO
2
sensor.
