Applying an Airway Adapter with Mouthpiece
The disposable Pediatric/Adult airway adapter with
mouthpiece can be used for spot checking CO
non-intubated adult or pediatric patients.
CAUTION! The disposable Pediatric/Adult Airway
Adapter with mouthpiece is intended for
single patient use. Do NOT reuse or sterilize
the adapter, as system performance will be
compromised.
1. Remove adapter with mouthpiece from the package.
Verify that the adapter and mouthpiece are intact and
securely fastened to each other.
2. Attach the airway adapter to the CAPNOSTAT 5 CO
sensor, as follows:
a. Align the arrow on the bottom of the airway adapter
with the arrow on the bottom of the CAPNOSTAT
sensor.
b. Press the sensor and airway adapter together until
they click (see Figure 3).

message, follow steps a through c, else go to step 4.
a. Verify proper connection of the adapter to the
sensor.
b. Verify that the airway adapter windows are clean
and dry.
c. If the adapter is properly connected, and the
windows are clean and dry, then zero the adapter
as described in "Zeroing the Mainstream
CAPNOSTAT 5 CO2 Sensor/Airway Adapter" on
page 5.
4. Ensure the patient seals his or her mouth completely
around the mouthpiece and breathes normally.
A nose clip may be needed if the patient is exhaling
through the nose. It is important that all, or most, of the
exhalation be routed through the airway adapter.
