Mounting
RespSense can be equipped with a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp, intended
to fit most hospital rails, poles, and table edges. The mounting bracket is screwed onto the back
side of the RespSense
monitor.
After attaching the mounting bracket to the monitor, securely clamp the monitor to the hospital
rail, pole or table edge. If the pole is mobile, do not attach the monitor to the pole higher than
1.5 meters (5 feet) and do not exceed a total of 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment on the
pole.
Contact Nonin Customer Support to order a mounting bracket and adjustable mounting clamp.
Sample Line
Intended Use
The sample line is used to measure the content of carbon dioxide in expired air (EtCO
2
). It is
single-use disposable tubing that attaches into the patient’s nose and connects to the monitor’s
moisture trap with a Luer lock connector. One sample line is included in the standard kit.
RespSense can be fitted with several types of sample lines to best suit the patient (see
“Accessories” section).
The following instructions refer to the sample line supplied in the RespSense standard kit. Other
sample lines have separate instructions included in their packaging.
CAUTION:
Secure RespSense with mounting bracket if used in transport vehicles.
CAUTION:
Do not mount RespSense directly above the patient. If the monitor is
mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable mounting clamp is securely affixed.
CAUTION:
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor
higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting more than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of
equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
WARNING: Use only Nonin-recommended accessories and replacement parts.
CAUTION:
The sample line, moisture trap, Nafion tubing, and filter are single-use
disposable components. Dispose all components in accordance with your local,
state, or national regulations regarding waste management.
CAUTION:
The patient’s nasal passage may dry out if continuous monitoring is
required. Check patient hourly for nasal comfort.
