ambient temperature and humidity at that time. If the heat and humidity exchanger is added to the pipeline to filter part of moisture, the relative difference between the CO concentration measured by the device and the dry CO concentration is less than 1%. If converted to CO concentration in human alveoli (temperature 37°C, tidal pressure 47mmHg, BTPS), a compensation calculation is required.

4 Patient connection 4.1 CO and Respiration rate measurement Push in and twist 45° clockwise to connect the Filter to the Connector on the top of the Monitor. Attach the selected Gas Sampling Line to the CO filter Female Luer Connector (Use a Male to Male Luer adapter if necessary) and then select a sampling point as close as possible to either the patient or the Ventilator Breathing Circuit.
Page 18
Figure 4.2 Instruction for use of the Filter 1.) Insert the convex cleat of Filter into the notch of the inlet port of device and turn 45°clockwise. 2.) Attach male luer lock sample line connector to Filter (Use a Male to Male Luer adapter if the sample line has Female Luer connector) 3.) Connect the other end of the Sample line to the chosen sampling point of patient or Ventilator Circuit.
4.2 CO Measure principle 1). Theory introduction The device working theory is NON-DISPERSIVE INFRA GAS ANALYZER. The principle is based on the fact that CO molecules absorb infrared light energy of specific wavelengths, with the amount of energy absorbed being directly related to the CO concentration.
show "OCCLUSION ', the operator needs to change the filter. 4.3 Oximeter density measurement (optional) 1). Theory introduction SpO2 is measured by Pulsating oximetry. This is a continuous, non-invasive method to measuring hemoglobin oxygenation saturation. It is determined the number of sensor light emitted from the light source side penetrating the patient tissue (such as a finger or ear), to the receiver sensor.
PLEASE NOTE: when SpO is not being monitored the probe should be disconnected from the monitor to save battery life, or the two windows of sensor should be kept face to face, otherwise the light window will remain operational and the photoplethysmogram wave will be disordered and the screen will display “FAIL SEARCH”.

The approved sampling lines provided by or specified by the manufacturer or distributor, shall be used, otherwise readings may be inaccurate. Fast changes in ambient Temperature may cause inaccuracy and in this instance the Display will show “TEMP IMBALANCE”. The measured data may be influenced by different kinds of anaesthetic gases. If it is required to calibrate interference gases please refer to Appendix 2.
