Chapter 13: GAS Monitoring (Mainstream)
Do not use the IRMA adult/pediatric airway adapter with infants as the adapter adds 6 ml
dead space to the patient circuit.
Warning
Do not use the IRMA infant airway adapter with adults as this may cause excessive flow
resistance.
Warning
Do not use the adapter if it or its package is damaged and return it to the vendor.
Warning
Do not use the IRMA airway adapter with metered dose inhalers or nebulized medications
as this may affect the light transmission of the airway adapter windows.
Warning
Replace the airway adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter.
Warning
Use only the recommended IRMA airway adapters for monitoring. Other airway adapters
may cause improper performance. (Refer to Accessories chapter for detail)
