Warning!
•
When using a sampling line for intubated patients with a closed suction system, do
not place the airway adapter between the suction catheter and endotracheal tube.
This is to ensure that the airway adapter does not interfere with the functioning of
the suction catheter.
•
Do not cut or remove any part of the sample line. Cutting the sample line could lead
to erroneous readings
•
If too much moisture enters the sampling line (i.e., from ambient humidity or
breathing of unusually humid air), the message Clearing FilterLine will appear in
the message area. If the sampling line cannot be cleared, the message FilterLine
Blockage will appear in the message area. Replace the sampling line once the
FilterLine Blockage message appears.
•
Do NOT use the Microstream sidestream CO
2
accessories in the presence of
flammable anesthetics or other flammable gases.
•
Loose or damaged connections may compromise ventilation or cause an inaccurate
measurement of respiratory gases. Securely connect all components and check
connections for leaks according to standard clinical procedures.
•
Always ensure the integrity of the patient breathing circuit after insertion of the
airway adapter by verifying a proper CO
2
waveform (capnogram) on the monitor
display.
