• Measurements can be affected by mobile and RF communications
equipment. It should be assured that the CO
2
sensor is used in the
electromagnetic environment specified in “Emission and Immunity
Declaration” on page 187.
• Do not place the airway adapter
between the endotracheal tube
and an elbow as this may allow
patient secretions to block the
adapter windows and result in
incorrect operation.
• Incorrect CO
2
zeroing will result in false gas readings.
• Replace the airway adapter if rain-out/condensation occurs inside
the airway adapter.
• Only use airway adapters distributed by Breas Medical AB.
• Do not apply tension to the CO
2
sensor cable.
• To keep secretions and moisture from pooling on the windows,
always position the CO
2
sensor in a vertical position with the green
LED pointing upwards.
• Disposable airway adapters shall not be reused. Reuse of the single
use adapter can cause cross infection.
• If an intentional leakage port is used, make sure that the CO
2
sensor
is placed between the patient interface and the leakage port.
• If a patient interface with integrated leakage is used, the monitored
CO
2
values may be influenced.
• The CO
2
sensor should be placed as close to the patient interface as
possible. However, a HME (if used) shall be placed between the
patient interface and the CO
2
sensor. This will protect the airway
adapter from secretions and effects of water vapour and eliminates
the need of changing the airway adapter.
