Airway gases
WARNING
Do not use a CO
2
module at the same time as a compact
airway module or a CARESCAPE respiratory module.
WARNING
When using the CARESCAPE respiratory modules with volume
controlled ventilation at low tidal volumes, the specified gas
withdrawal rate may significantly reduce the amount of gas
delivered to the patient.
WARNING
CARESCAPE respiratory modules: Make sure to compensate
for the possible reduction of tidal volume caused by the 120
ml/min gas sample flow.
WARNING
Compact airway modules: Do not use these modules on
patients that cannot tolerate the removal of 200 ml/min from
their total minute ventilation.
WARNING
E-miniC modules: Do not use this module on patients that
cannot tolerate the removal of 150 ml/min from their total
minute ventilation.
WARNING
A failure in zeroing or calibrating airway gases may cause
inaccurate readings.
WARNING
Ensure that the compact airway modules and CARESCAPE
respiratory modules are in vertical position when used. Tilting
them may result in erroneous readings.
WARNING
Since calibration gas contains anesthetic agents, always
ensure sufficient ventilation of the room during calibration.
WARNING
Do not wash, disinfect or open the water trap cartridge.
Do not touch the water trap membrane. The hydrophobic
membrane is damaged if any cleaning is attempted, and this
may result in the contamination of the gas sensors.
WARNING
Compact airway modules: Never connect any tubing to the
reference gas inlet connector. The inlet must be open at all
times.
WARNING
E-miniC: O
2
, N
2
O and anesthetic agent gases may interfere
with EtCO
2
readings.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of patient cross-infection, do not return the
sampled gas to the breathing system.
