Monitoring End-Tidal CO2
2000966-386D Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 15-3
Safety
The following safety statements apply when monitoring CO
2
.
WARNING
DEVICE PROXIMITY—Capnostat CO
2
sensors should not be used
in close proximity to wireless networking equipment or strong
electromagnetic fields (for example, radio station transmitters,
citizen’s band radios, cellular phones, etc.). Using these sensors
under these conditions may cause one or all of the following to
occur:
Noise may be induced on the capnogram.
The CO
2
parameter values may be replaced by Xs.
The message “CHECK ADAPTER CAL” may display.
The message “CALIBRATE SAMPLE LINE” may display.
Normal operation will resume when the source of interference is
removed.
CAUTION
CO
2
SOURCE—Do not attempt to use a combination of gas
monitoring modules (for example, end-tidal CO
2
and SAM) at the
same time. Only data from one acquisition source is displayed.
CAUTION
GAS EXHAUST LINE—Do not allow the gas exhaust line to
become kinked or blocked. Back pressure may cause inaccurate gas
readings. It may also cause serious damage to the module or
monitor’s internal components.
CAUTION
INFECTIOUS DISEASE—To avoid the spread of infectious
disease, do not allow the exhaust to discharge in the direction on the
patient or the user.
CAUTION
VACUUM SOURCE—Do not connect the exhaust to an
unregulated high vacuum source. Pressures may cause inaccurate
gas readings. It may also cause serious damage to the module or
monitor’s internal components.
