23 S
CIO® FOUR MODULES
Site of Operation
The site of operation must meet the temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure
requirements listed in appendix C. In addition, observe the following guidelines:
Make sure that the platform which supports the module is large enough, level,
and stable.
Make sure that the fan exhaust screen at the rear of the module and the
ventilation holes on the underside are not obstructed.
Place the module at least 25 cm (10 inches) from any possible source of
ignition, such as sparking.
Place the module close enough to the patient so that the sampling tubing can
reach the airway T-connector and the exhaust tubing the hospital’s exhaust
gas scavenging system without stretching.
Installing the Water Trap
Install the water trap into its receptacle on the Scio module by pushing against the
Scio. A click indicates that it is seated properly. Confirm that the water trap is empty
(for information on replacing the water trap, see page 23-25).
