Emptying the Water Bottle
The water bottle (see Figure 3-8) collects fluids separated from the patient gas sample.
• Empty and clean the water bottle before each patient use and empty whenever the bottle is more than half
full.
• Empty the water bottle routinely. Allowing it to fill and overflow may cause system errors.
• A "Water Bottle Full" message will remind the user to empty and clean the bottle should it become full.
Note:
Monitoring will be temporarily interrupted when the "Water Bottle Full" message is indicated.

Note:
1. The disposable water separator cartridge on the rear of the water bottle housing protects the
monitoring system from moisture and other contaminants and may need to be replaced
occasionally while in use (refer to Section 6/ Maintenance).
2. To avoid medications interfering with the gas monitoring system, administer any aerosolized
medications distal to the sampling tee in the breathing circuit.
