Note Replace the sampling line according to hospital protocol or when a
blockage is indicated by the device. Excessive patient secretions or a
buildup of liquids in the airway tubing might occlude the sampling line,
requiring more frequent replacement.
Note When the message "Check for occlusion in gas line" appears on the screen,
indicating that the sampling line attached to the monitor is blocked, the
monitor’s CO2 pump will stop. Follow the instructions in the
Troubleshooting section of this manual to correct the problem.
Stop and restart the CO2 pump
