Patient Monitor User Manual
19 ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It
must be used in conjunction with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
20 Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red, or a
"Sample line clogged" message is displayed on the host.
21 ISA analyzers are not designed for MRI environments.
22 Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the monitor may
produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
23 Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment may enhance the risk of being
burned; therefore, a static-free or conductive respiratory cannula is not
recommended.
24 Do not apply negative pressure to remove condensed water from the Nomoline
Family sampling line.
25 Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might affect the sample
flow.
26 Strong scavenging suction pressure might affect the sample flow.
27 Exhaust gases should be returned to the patient circuit or a scavenging system.
28 Due to the risk of patient cross-infection, always use a bacteria filter on the exhaust
port side if sampled gas is intended to be re-breathed.
29 Do not place the ISA gas analyzer in any position that might cause it to fall on the
patient.
30 Do not immerse Nomoline Family sampling lines in liquid.
31 Do not operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer if the enclosure is damaged.
1 The ISA analyzers should be securely mounted in order to avoid the risk of damage
to the ISA.
2 Do not apply tension to the ISA analyzer cable.
3 Do not operate the ISA analyzer outside the specified operating temperature
environment.
4 The sidestream AG module configured with ISA OR+ analyzer is fragile and should
be handled with care.
5 After plugging the module into the monitor, remember to connect the sampling line to
the module to prevent dust ingress which may result in performance degradation.
