• Incorrect CO
2
zeroing will result in false gas readings.
• Replace the airway adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the
airway adapter.
• Only use airway adapters distributed by Breas.
• Do not apply tension to the CO
2
sensor cable.
• To keep secretions and moisture from pooling on the windows,
always position the CO
2
sensor in a vertical position with the green
LED pointing upwards.
• If an intentional leakage port is used, make sure that the CO
2
sensor
is placed between the patient interface and the leakage port.
• If a patient interface with integrated leakage is used, the monitored
CO
2
values may be influenced.
• The CO
2
sensor should be placed as close to the patient interface as
possible. However, a HME (Heat and Moisture Exchanger) should
be placed between the patient interface and the CO
2
sensor. This will
protect the airway adapter from secretions and effects of water
vapour and eliminates the need of changing the airway adapter.
The CO
2
monitoring automatically compensates for changes in ambient
barometric pressure.
