Measuring Mainstream Co 2 Using M3016A - Philips IntelliVue X2 Instructions For Use Manual

Measuring Mainstream CO
Removing Exhaust Gases from the System
WARNING
Anesthetics: When using the sidestream CO
recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff
to anesthetics.
Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor
at the outlet connector.

WARNING Infra-red radiation: Do not expose the airway adapter or M1460A transducer to infra-red radiation
during use. This may cause incorrect readings.
Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO
1 Attach the transducer connector to the CO
2 Wait 20 minutes, allowing the transducer to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal
condition.
Perform an accuracy check and then, if necessary, calibrate the transducer.

same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now.
3 Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labelled 0.0 mmHg or "ZERO"). The reading
on the screen should be zero within ±1 mmHg within one minute.
4 Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within ±1
mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute.
If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the
5
readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer.
Calibrating the Transducer
Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear.
