Capnograph Warnings, Cautions, and notes
WARnInG! The capnograph contains no compensation for barometric pressure; therefore, readings in
mmHg and kPa are correct only under the pressure at which the capnograph is calibrated.
Manual compensation can be made by performing a low calibration (low cal).
WARnInG! Use of accessories other than those supplied by or recommended by the manufacturer may
result in inaccurate readings, altered measurement response times or erroneous occlusion
messages.
CAUTIon! Pump motors in the capnograph may adversely affect other medical equipment such as ECG
tracings.
CAUTIon! Use of the monitor during continuous nebulized medication delivery will result in damage to
the monitor which is not covered by the factory warranty. Disconnect the ETCo
2
sample line
from the patient circuit or power off during medication delivery.
noTE! All user and patient accessible materials are non-toxic.
noTE! During the auto zero calibration (autocal) sampling, the Co
2
waveform and digits will disappear
for 1-5 seconds. After this, breath detection restarts. This should happen only during extreme
temperature changes, and not during normal patient monitoring or changes of ambient pressure.
noTE! The auto zero calibration (autocal) is similar to a low calibration (low cal), excluding ambient
pressure so as not to stop the pump.
noTE! Capnometer patient attachments and sample lines are disposable, single-patient use items. Use a
new patient attachment and sample line for each new patient.
noTE! Discard and replace the patient attachment if it becomes occluded. If an air leak is noted, check all
patient connections. If the air leak persists, discard and replace the patient attachment.
