The IRMA CO
2
sensor is designed to be an adjunct device in patient monitoring, so its
information should be analyzed along with other measurements and symptoms.
•
Incorrect zeroing may result in erroneous measurements.
•
Replace the airway adapter if there is condensation inside the adapter.
•
Use only airway adapters and sensors produced by Masimo.
•
The sensor shall not come in direct contact with the patient during use.
•
Do not connect the airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and the respiratory
circuit elbow as this can cause patient secretions to block the adapter windows,
causing incorrect sensor operation.
