WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
(Please read and understand)
The
II
and its CO2 Module are intended for VETERINARY
USE ONLY. Do not use on a human patient.
The user should be aware that erroneous measurement of ETCO2
due to any cause (eg., improperly placed or secured ET tube, airway
disconnect, equipment or sensor damage, excess humidity in the
ventilation circuit, electronic failure, etc.) could lead to potentially less than
effective or inappropriate ventilator adjustments or other inappropriate
changes or interventions. Always confirm that the CO2 monitoring system
is setup and connected properly and correlate unexpected or unexplained
changes in CO2/capnograph readings with the clinical circumstances and
environment and an arterial blood gas measurement comparison.
Use of an Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) can potentially result in
interference on the CO2 trace and the CO2 numeric values. If ESU
interference adversely impacts the CO2 waveform, do not use the CO2
data until the CO2 waveform has been stable for 10 seconds or more after
ESU use. The BP and SpO2 are typically not adversely affected by ESU
usage, but under certain circumstances the ESU could adversely affect
them. Always assure that the ESU ground plate is well placed on the
patient and placed distant from the ECG electrodes.
The following factors can influence the ETCO2 measurement:
nitrous oxide, elevated oxygen levels, barometric pressure, vapor or
patient secretions, halogenated agents, aerosolized pharmaceuticals or
nitric oxide.
