• Attach the MainFlow™ CO2 sensor onto a clean and dry CO2 adapter.
3 – CONNECTION WITH LIFEWINDOW LITE
•
The LifeWindow™ Lite LW8 CO2 function is a Plug and Play technology built in the hardware
and software of the unit. Without the MainFlow™ CO2 sensor connected, the message “CO2
is Off” is displayed in the CO2 screen indicator area and no CO2 trace is present. If the CO2
menu or CO2 indicator area is touched in this situation, nothing happen as the CO2 function
is turned off.
•
Insert the MainFlow™ CO2 Sensor connector into the receptacle ( 17 ) of the LifeWindow™
Lite LW8 Patient Panel.
•
Make sure the arrows on the connector line up the two keys of the connector with the
receptacle and insert.
•
To remove the connector, grasp the body portion of the connector back and remove.
Note: Do not remove by pulling cable.
• The CO2 monitoring screen is automatically configured, with the CO2 indicator area, CO2
traces, scales and CO2 alarm messages.
• Wait for the Sensor Warm Up message to clear. If a Zero Calibration message is displayed,
perform a Zero Calibration process.
4 – ZEROING THE MAINFLOW™ CO2 MAINSTREAM SENSOR
• The MainFlow™ CO2 sensor is compatible only with Digicare Biomedical Technology CO2
airway adapters.
• Each airway adapter has a unique set of optical characteristics. The adapter zero allows the
MainFlow™ CO2 sensor to adjust to the optical characteristics of each of the different
adapter types.
• An “Adapter Zero” is a quick process that allows the LifeWindow™ Lite LW8 to adjust to the
special characteristics of a particular MainFlow™ CO2 sensor; it is necessary only when
requested. Such a request may occur the first time a particular MainFlow™ CO2 sensor is
connected to the LifeWindow™ Lite LW8, or if a change is detected in the MainFlow™ CO2
sensor or in the adapter.
