Mainstream CO2 monitoring
340 Instructions for use – Infinity Acute Care System – Monitoring Applications VG6.n
Connecting the CO2 sensor
Before connecting any CO2 hardware, make sure
the airway adapter in use matches the airway
adapter setting of the Cockpit. For example, do not
use a disposable airway adapter if the Cockpit is
configured for a reusable airway adapter (and vice
versa). Not aligning the adapter with the
configuration setting at the Cockpit compromises
the displayed CO
2 value.
The CO2 cable connects directly to the M540.
A M540 CO
2 port
B CO
2 sensor cable connector
C Mainstream airway adapter
D Y-piece
E Airway adapter
F Endotracheal tube adapter
To connect the hardware
The IACS is only compatible with the sensors
6871950 revision 5 or higher. Previous revisions
are not compatible.
1 Connect the CO
2 sensor cable connector (B) to
the yellow CO2 port (A) on the M540.
2 Select a suitable Mainstream airway adapter
(C) whose windows are clean and dry (replace
the adapter if necessary).
3 Insert the airway adapter (E) between the
endotracheal tube adapter (F) and the ventilator
Y-piece (D).
4 Snap the Mainstream airway adapter (C) firmly
into the airway adapter and make sure that the
cable is directed away from the patient.

CAUTION
Always position the sensor windows of the airway
adapter vertically to prevent patient secretions
from obscuring the adapter windows.
