Basic principles for choosing microstream
When choosing Microstream CO
•
The condition of the patient (ventilated or not ventilated)
•
If the patient is ventilated, whether ventilation is humidified or non-humidified
•
Patient's size and weight
•
The probability that the patient will switch between oral and nasal breathing
•
Duration of use
•
For best results, for short term monitoring, use Microstream CO
orange connectors. For long term monitoring, use Microstream CO
with yellow connectors. " Products that include an "H" in the name are intended for
long term use.
Select the appropriate sampling line and connect it to the monitor before putting on the
patient. Be sure to follow the directions for provided with the sampling line.
For further information, please contact your local representative.
Connecting a sampling line
The appropriate sampling line must be connected to the monitor and to the patient.
Connect as follows:
1.
Slide open the sampling line input connector shutter and
connect the appropriate sampling line.
2. Screw the sampling line connector into the monitor clockwise
until it can no longer be turned.
3. Connect the sampling line to the patient as described in the
Directions for Use supplied with the sampling line.
When the sampling line is connected, the monitor will immediately begin to search for
breaths, but it will not indicate a No Breath condition before any valid breaths have
occurred.
