Applying A Filterline Set - ZOLL Propaq MD Operator's Manual

WARNING! • The exhaust port for the Microstream sidestream CO
expired gases from the patient and any connected breathing apparatus. The exhaust
port is intended only for connection to gas collection equipment, such as gas scavenger
devices -- there should be no other connections to the exhaust port .
• When connecting the Microstream sidestream CO
receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the CO
scavenging system, or to the patient's anesthetic machine or ventilator to prevent
exposing medical staff to anesthetics .
• Do not lift the monitor by the FilterLine, as it could disconnect from the monitor,
causing the monitor to fall on the patient.
• The FilterLine may ignite in the presence of high O
exposed to laser or ESU devices. Use caution when performing these procedures.

Applying a FilterLine Set

The FilterLine set is intended for the CO
Before attaching the airway adapter to the breathing circuit, verify that the adapter is clean, dry,
and undamaged. Replace if necessary.
Caution The disposable FilterLine set is intended for single patient use. Do NOT reuse or sterilize any
part of the FilterLine Set, as the monitor may be damaged by cleaning or reuse.
1. Place the airway adapter at the proximal end of the airway circuit between the elbow and the
ventilator circuit wye. Do NOT place the airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow
as this may allow patient secretions to accumulate in the adapter.
2. If pooling does occur, the airway adapter may be removed from the circuit, rinsed with water
and reinserted into the circuit. To prevent moisture from draining into the sample tubing,
ensure that the sampling tube exits from the top of the airway adapter, not its bottom or sides.

If you use a gas scavenging system, ensure that it is installed according to the
manufacturers instructions. The gas scavenging system should comply with
ISO 8835-3:1997 (E).
In order to avoid moisture buildup and sampling line occlusion during nebulization or
suction for intubated patients, remove the sampling line luer connector from the
monitor.
