Smart CapnoLine Guardian
Intended Use
The Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ set is intended to sample oral and
nasal CO
and administer supplemental oxygen via the nose and mouth,
2
for patients who can wear a 60 fr. bite block, during upper endoscopy
type procedures. The set is intended for single patient use only.
Contents:
25 Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ kits that contain:
• 1 Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block
• 1 Microstream
Note: A hook and loop strap (PN 012542) is available for use instead
of the rubber strap, for enhanced securing of the Guardian
patient. See insert for usage instructions.
Instructions for Use
See the sketches below for instructions for use. Please note:
• Connect the sampling line to the monitor by inserting the sampling
line connecter clockwise into the monitor CO
the connector until it can no longer be turned, to ensure that it is
connected securely to the monitor. This will assure that there is no
leak of gases during measurement at the connection point and that
measurement accuracy is not compromised.
• Place the oral/nasal sampling line on patient. Ensure that the
unattached end of the O
line is facing downward (see sketch 1). Adjust length of oral prong (A
in sketch 3) until fully extended (sketch 1).
• Place the Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block on the patient
after the oral/nasal sampling line is in place. Ensure that the strap is
tightened and that it remains under the O
procedure. Once both parts are in place, adjust the length of the oral
prong of the sampling line so that it rests in the channel of the Smart
CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block (B in sketch 4) and is visible
through the window. (This is to accommodate different patient face
sizes.) Please note that the oral prong may need to be repositioned to
keep it in the channel during the procedure.
• The oral/nasal sampling line includes an O
this connector to the Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block
as required (see sketch 5). If sampling line and Smart CapnoLine
Guardian™ bite block are not connected via the O
the O
flow will be delivered to the patient's nares. If sampling line
2
and Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block are connected via the
O
luer (as recommended), O
2
the patient's nares and mouth, with 80% of the O
patient's mouth and 20% dispersed through the O
patient's nares.
• After the Smart CapnoLine Guardian™ bite block is removed from
the patient at the end of the procedure, CO
delivery can continue during recovery with the sampling line alone.
O
delivery should be <5L/min when being delivered only through
2
the nasal cannula.
