CO
2
During MRI scanning, the monitor must be placed outside the MRI suite. When the monitor is
used outside the MRI suite, EtCO
2
monitoring can be implemented using a long FilterLine
®
which permits placement of the monitor outside the MRI suite.
When using the monitor with anesthetics, nitrous oxide or high concentrations of oxygen,
connect the gas outlet to a scavenger system.
Use only Oridion Microstream CO
2
sampling lines.
Microstream CO
2
sampling lines are labeled for single patient use only. Do not reuse sampling
lines.
If using the CO
2
Monitor for extended critical care, replace the airway adapter every 24 hours
or when it becomes occluded.
CO
2
readings and respiratory rate can be affected by sensor application errors, certain ambient
environmental conditions, and certain patient conditions.
Respiration
Do not operate the X Series with any other monitor with respiration measurements on the same
patient. The two devices could affect the respiration accuracy.
The device should not be used as an apnea monitor.
Ferromagnetic Equipment
Biomedical equipment and accessories, such as ECG electrodes, cables, and oximeter probes
contain ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic equipment must not be used in the presence of
high magnetic fields created by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment.
The large magnetic fields generated by an MRI device can attract ferromagnetic equipment
with an extremely violent force, which could cause serious personal injury or death to persons
between the equipment and the MRI device.
Battery
Although the device can operate with auxiliary power alone, ZOLL strongly recommends that
you operate the unit with a battery installed at all times. Operating the unit with a battery
provides a backup in case of AC power shortage, and results in faster charge time. The battery
can be automatically recharged while it is installed in the unit. Keep a fully charged spare
battery pack with the defibrillator at all times.
Test battery packs regularly. A battery that does not pass the ZOLL charger’s capacity test
might cause the X Series unit to shut down unexpectedly.
If the Low Battery indication occurs at any time during operation, immediately replace the
battery pack.
