14.6 Troubleshooting
14.6.1 When the Gas Inlet is Blocked
If the gas inlet (including watertrap, sampling line and airway adapter) is occluded by
condensed water, the message [AG Airway Occluded] will appears.
To remove the occlusion:
îš„ Check the airway adapter for an occlusion and replace if necessary.
îš„ Check the sampling line for an occlusion or kinking and replace if necessary.
îš„ Check the watertrap for a build up of water. Empty the watertrap. If the problem persists,
replace the watertrap.
14.6.2 When Internal Occlusions Occurs
Condensed water may enter the module and cause contamination and/or internal occlusions.
In this case, the message [AG Airway Occluded] will be displayed.
To remove the occlusion:
îš„ Check for any occlusion in the gas inlet and/or outlet system.
îš„ If the problem persists, internal occlusions may exist. Contact your service personnel.
14.7 Removing Exhaust Gases from the System
WARNING
z Anesthetics: When using the AG measurement on patients who are receiving or
have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, or to
the anesthesia machine/ventilator, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.
To remove the sample gas to a scavenging system, connect an exhaust tube to the gas outlet
connector of the module.
