other equipment.
• Failure of Operation: If the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module fails to respond as described in this
user guide; DO NOT use it until approved for use by qualified personnel.
• DO NOT position the sensor cables or tubing in any manner that may cause entanglement or
strangulation. Support the sidestream CO2 airway adapter to prevent stress on the ET tube.
• Reuse, disassembly, cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing the single patient use cannula kits and on
airway adapters may compromise functionality and system performance leading to a user or patient
hazard. Performance is not guaranteed if an item labeled as single patient use is reused.
• Inspect the sidestream on airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits for damage prior to use. DO
NOT use the sidestream on airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits if they appear to be
damaged or broken.
• Replace the sidestream on airway adapters and sidestream sampling kits if excessive secretions are
observed.
• Monitor the CO2 waveform (Capnogram). If you see changes or abnormal appearance check the
patient and the sampling line. Replace line if needed.
• Do not operate the MicroFlow™ CO2 Sidestream Module when it is wet or has exterior condensation.
• Do not apply excessive tension to any cable.
• Electrical Shock Hazard; No user serviceable parts inside.
• DO NOT use device on patients that can not tolerate the withdrawal of 50 ml/min +/- 10
ml/min from the airway or patients that can not tolerate the added dead space to the airway.
• Do not connect the exhaust tube to the ventilator circuit.
CAUTIONS
• Electrical Shock Hazard; the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module is not user serviceable. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.
• Follow precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) to and from
other equipment.
• Use only Digicare Biomedical Technology approved accessories.
• DO NOT use the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module if it fails to operate properly, appears to have
been damaged, is wet or has exterior condensation.
• DO NOT sterilize or immerse the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module in liquids.
• DO NOT clean the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module and accessories except as directed in this
guide.
• DO NOT apply excessive tension to the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module cable.
• DO NOT store the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module at temperatures less than -40º F (-40º C) or
greater than 158º F (70º C).
• DO NOT operate the MicroFlow™ sidestream CO2 Module at temperatures less than 32º F (0º C) or
greater than 104º F (40º C).
• Remove the LoFlo sampling kit sample cell from the receptacle when not in use.
• DO NOT stick appendage into sample receptacle.
• Always insert sample cell before inserting the on-airway adapter into the ventilated circuit.
• Always remove the on-airway adapter from the ventilated circuit before removing the sample cell.
C. PATIENT CONNECTIONS
1- CO2 MICROFLOW™ SIDESTREAM MODULE
•
The MicroFlow™ CO2 sidestream Module is a rugged, solid-state, sidestream sensor. It is
factory calibrated and does not require further calibration. The Module can be internally
installed or external to the LifeWindow™ Lite LW8.
• When using the external module, connect it to the ( 17 ) connector in the LifeWindow Lite
patient connections panel.
2 - SINGLE PATIENT USE SIDESTREAM ON-AIRWAY ADAPTERS
• For monitoring CO2, select a sidestream on-airway adapter kit that is appropriate for the
patient size and application.
