Connect IRMA /airway adapter 15mm male connector to the breathing circuit Y-piece.
5
Connect the IRMA /airway adapter 15mm female connector to the patient's endotracheal
tube.
Alternatively, connect an HME (Heat Moisture Exchanger) between the patient's endotracheal
tube and the IRMA probe. Placing an HME in front of the IRMA probe protects the airway
adapter from secretions and effects of water vapor and eliminates the need of changing the
adapter. It allows free positioning of the IRMA probe as well.
6
Unless the IRMA probe is protected with an HME always position the IRMA probe with the
status LED pointing upwards.
