Inserting the sample cell into the receptacle automatically starts the sampling pump.
Removal of the sample cell turns the sample pump off.
• T
o remove the sampling kit sample cell from the sample cell receptacle, press down on the
locking tab and pull the sample cell from the sample cell receptacle.

• Wait for the Sensor Warm Up message to clear. If a Zero Calibration message is displayed,
perform a Zero Calibration process.
4 - ZEROING THE MICROFLOW™ CO2 SIDESTREAM MODULE
• The MicroFlow™ CO2 sidestream Module is compatible only with Digicare Biomedical
sidestream CO2 accessories. The sample cell zero allows the MicroFlow™ CO2 sidestream
Module to adjust to the optical characteristics of the sample cell.
• A “Sample Cell Zero” is a quick process that allows the LifeWindow™ Lite LW8 to adjust to
the special characteristics of a particular MicroFlow™ CO2 sidestream Module; it is necessary
only when requested. Such a request will occur if a change is detected in the MicroFlow™
CO2 sidestream Module.
• Keep the MicroFlow™ airway adapter exposed to room air and away from all sources of CO2,
including the ventilator, the patient’s breath and your own.
• Touch in the CO2 menu and touch in the Calibration “Zero”. A Warning message: “Is input
exposed to 0 mmHg concentration” is displayed. Touch in the Yes button to perform a Zero
Calibration. The message Zero in Progress is displayed during the zero process, typically 15
to 20 seconds (maximum time of 40 seconds).
5 – PATIENT CIRCUIT
• The regular sidestream on-airway adapter kits should be used when monitoring intubated
patients with Endotracheal Tube diameters greater than 4.0 mm. Use the Low Dead Space
on-airway adapter kits when monitoring intubated patients with Endotracheal Tube diameters
less than or equal to 4.0mm.
• CAUTION:
The Regular and the Low Dead Space on-airway adapters are intended for single
patient use. Do NOT reuse or sterilize the adapter kit as system performance will be
compromised.
• Verify that the on-airway adapter is clean, dry and undamaged. Replace the on-airway
adapter kit if necessary.
• Insert the sample cell into the sample cell receptacle as shown in the figure 1. A “click” will be
heard when properly inserted.
• Perform a sample cell zero if prompted by the LifeWindow™ Lite LW8.
