standard nasal CO
2
sampling cannula is used on such
patients, the EtCO
2
values and capnogram waveform
displayed will be substantially lower than the actual CO
2
levels present in the patient’s expired breath.
CAUTION! The disposable Nasal and Nasal/Oral
Cannulae are intended for single patient
use. Do NOT reuse or sterilize the cannula,
as system performance will be
compromised.
1. Remove the cannula from the package. Verify that
the cannula is clean, dry, and undamaged. Replace if
necessary.
2. Attach the cannula’s sample cell to the sample cell
receptacle on the LoFlo module, and ensure that it
clicks into place.
3. If the unit displays either of the following messages
take the appropriate user action.
4. Place the nasal cannula onto the patient as shown in
Figure 6.
5. If necessary, cut the oral portion of the oral/nasal
cannula (if you are using an the oral/nasal cannula)
to an appropriate length to adequately fit the patient,
as follows:
a. Place the cannula onto the patient as shown in
Figure 7.
b. Observe the length of the oral cannula tip. It should
extend down past the teeth and be positioned in
the mouth opening (see Figure 7).
CAUTION! To avoid injury to the patient, remove the
cannula from the patient before you cut the
oral cannula tip.
c. Trim to the appropriate length.
Cleaning the CAPNOSTAT 3 Sensor
and LoFlo Module
The CAPNOSTAT 3 sensor and LoFlo module (and
rubber protective covering) can be cleaned and
disinfected by wiping with one or more of the following
solutions:
• 70% isopropyl alcohol
• 2% gluteraldehyde
• 10% bleach solution
Use a soft cloth dampened with one of the above listed
solutions to clean the sensor or module. After cleaning,
wipe with a clean, water-dampened cloth to rinse. Dry
before use.
Note Do not immerse or attempt to sterilize the
CAPNOSTAT 3 sensor or LoFlo module.
Cleaning Reusable Airway Adapters
Reusable airway adapters may be cleaned by rinsing in
a warm soapy solution, followed by soaking in a liquid
disinfectant such as Cidex® or System 1® (refer to the
disinfectant manufacturer's instructions for use).
Adapters should then be rinsed with sterile water and
dried.
Reusable airway adapters may also be pasteurized or
autoclaved. Autoclave at 121° C (250° F) for 20 minutes,
unwrapped.
If you see this
message:
Take this action:
CHECK CO2
LINE Verify that the sample cell 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, the pump shuts off in
approximately 15 seconds. To restart
the pump, correct the blockage, then
remove and reinsert the sample cell
into the sample cell receptacle.
If the problem persists, replace the
sample line.
CHECK CO2
MODULE Check that module cable is plugged in
and seated properly.
Check that module is not exposed to
excessive heat.
If problem persists, replace module.
