LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator Operating Instructions
OBSERVATION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTIVE ACTION
EtCO
2
values are consistently
higher than expected
Physiological cause such as
COPD
•
None.
Inadequate ventilation
•
Check ventilator, increase
ventilatory rate/bagging.
Patient splinting during
breathing
•
Supporting measures such
as pain relief.
Improper calibration
•
Contact qualified service
personnel.
EtCO
2
values are consistently
lower than expected
FilterLine connection to device
is loose
•
Twist FilterLine connector
clockwise until tight and
firmly seated..
Physiological cause
•
See Physiological factors in
CO2 Detection (on page 91).
Hyperventilation
•
Check ventilator, decrease
ventilatory rate/bagging.
Improper calibration
•
Contact qualified service
personnel.
CO
2
waveform stays elevated
for several seconds
Expiration is prolonged due to
bagging technique
•
Release bag reservoir
completely with expiration.
Observe that elevated
baseline returns to normal
level.
Sudden extreme increase in
EtCO
2
Fluid has entered CO
2
module
•
Contact qualified service
personnel.
XXX
appears instead of
EtCO
2
value
CO
2
module malfunction
•
Turn device off and then on
again.
•
If problem persists, contact
qualified service personnel.
There is no EtCO
2
value and the
CO
2
waveform is flat
Measured CO
2
is less
than 3.5 mmHg
•
See CO2 Detection (on
page 91).
Note:
To decrease the likelihood of the FilterLine connection coming loose during use, hand-
straighten the tubing after removal from the package before connecting to patient or device.
