The sample flow diverted by the module may reduce the breathing system volume in
case of low-flow anesthesia. Compensate by increasing the fresh-gas flow of the
anesthesia machine accordingly. In some anesthesia systems, the sample flow may
influence the measurement of the expiratory minute volume.
13
The liquid in the water trap could be contaminated and must be handled and disposed
of with care. Dispose of the liquid in an adequate way and in compliance with local
regulations.
14
Disconnect sample line before removing the water trap from the medical device.
Contaminated liquid could be pushed out of the water trap when removing it without
disconnecting the sample line.
15
Do not spray the O-rings of the water trap holder with silicon spray. Silicon can get
into the measuring cuvette and influence the gas measurement permanently.
16
Connect the sample line properly, otherwise faulty gas measurements may result.
17
Used sample lines may be infectious due to the breathing gases that passed through
them. Sampling lines are not reusable and must be replaced after each patient unless
a bacterial filter is in place between sample line and patient.
18
Always connect the gas exhaust of the medical device and anesthesia machine to the
scavenging system.
19
Ensure proper ventilation of the place where the medical device is located.
20
Negligent placement of sample line, cables, and similar device components can
endanger the patient. Use particular diligence when establishing connections to the
patient.
21
To avoid temporary influence on the gas measurement and prevent damage to the
water trap and measuring system do not use nebulizers/aerosols in the breathing
system, when the medical device is connected.
22
Do not wash or disinfect the inside of the sample line or water trap to avoid temporary
influence on the gas measurement and prevent damage to the water trap and
measuring system. Do not sterilize the sample line or water trap.
23
Disconnect the water trap from the holder or set Work Mode to Standby when the
module is not in use. Setting path: AG Setup > Work Mode > Standby.
1
Strictly observe the requirements in the user manual while using the module.
2
Do not operate the medical device without water trap.
3
If the water trap is nearly filled, you should replace it to avoid blocking the airway.
