SIDESTREAM MESSAGES
Message/Symptom Possible Cause(s) Recommended Action(s)
CHECK CO2 LINE Sample line blockage or damage.
Sample line is kinked or pinched.
Exhaust tube is blocked.
Verify that the sample line is plugged into
the module and seated properly.
Verify that neither the sample line nor the
exhaust tube are blocked, kinked, or
pinched. Verify that the airway adapter is
not blocked. If the sample line, exhaust
tube, or the airway adapter is blocked or
otherwise compromised for 15 seconds,
this message will appear. The pump will

sample cell receptacle.
If the problem persists, replace the sample
line.
