ICROSTREAM® ETCO2 MONITORING
Overview
The Infinity
®
etCO
2
Microstream
®
SmartPod
®
, when connected to a monitor, allows
the monitor to measure and display sidestream etCO
2
(end-tidal CO
2
), iCO
2
(inspired
CO
2
) and RRc (Respiration Rate). The Microstream pod cannot be used
simultaneously with either an etCO
2
pod or an etCO
2
/respiratory mechanics pod.
The Microstream pod is intended for use with adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients
with appropriate accessories (see page C-24). The pod uses a fixed sample flow rate of
50 mL/min. and requires a proprietary sample line (accessory) and connects to the
monitor via PodCom.
Precautions
Refer to the general precautions section for etCO
2
on page 19-2.
CAUTION:
To avoid blocking the sampling tube, do not attempt to sterilize the
Microstream pod by immersing it in liquids.
Do not obstruct the exhaust port on the Microstream pod because it prevents
air flow.
NOTE:
The pod and associated accessories that have patient contact are free of latex.
The pod automatically compensates for atmospheric pressure within the defined
operating ranges listed in appendix B.
The Infinity etCO
2
Microstream SmartPod meets its accuracy specifications
within 1.1 minutes after the monitor is powered on.
