risk of excessive leakage current and/or shock hazard.
WARNING: Do not reuse disposable devices.
WARNING: Compressed gasses are considered Dangerous Goods/
Hazardous Materials per I.A.T.A. And D.O.T. regulations. It is
a violation of federal and international law to offer any
package or over pack of dangerous goods for
transportation without the package being appropriately
identified, packed, marked, classified, labeled and
documented according to D.O.T. and I.A.T.A. regulations.
Please refer to the applicable I.A.T.A. Dangerous Goods
Regulations and/or the Code of Federal Regulations 49
(Transportation, Parts 171-180) for further information.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged or broken unit or accessory.
WARNING: When using the Gas Module 3, the maximum sampling rate
at the nasal cannula is 200 ml/min with an Adult/Pediatric
water trap and 120 ml/min with a Neonatal water trap.
This device should not be used on patients whose breathing
could be impaired by this vacuum flow rate.
WARNING: Connection of the Gas Module 3 exhaust port to the
hospital’s waste gas scavenging system is strongly
recommended to prevent exposure of hospital personnel to
the patient’s respiratory sample. Vacuum (negative
pressure) should not exceed 1 mmHg at the Gas Module
Pump Exhaust fitting. Excessive scavenge vacuum may
result in damage to the Gas Module’s internal pump.
WARNING: The use of gas sampling accessories in Gas Module 3 other
than specified by Mindray DS may cause significant
measurement errors and patient risk.
WARNING: Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified in the manual may result in increased
Electromagnetic Emissions or decreased Electromagnetic
Immunity of the Gas Module 3.
WARNING: With the exception of stacking under a bedside monitor
with the appropriate mounting brackets, the Gas Module 3
should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Gas
Module 3 should be observed to verify normal operation in
the configuration in which it will be used.
WARNING: If the water trap breaks or becomes damaged during
operation, there is a risk that bacteria and/or mucus may
contaminate the Gas Module.
WARNING: Do not use Adult/Pediatric type water traps and/or
sampling lines with neonates to avoid high sampling flow.
WARNING: The Gas Module must not be used with flammable
anesthetic agents.
WARNING: The Gas Module water trap, sampling line and airway
adapter should be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations for contaminated and biologically hazardous
items.
WARNING: Do not clean the Gas Module while it is on and/or plugged
in.
WARNING: Connect only DRYLINE

IntroductionCautions
Cautions
CAUTION:Use recommended Mindray DS supplied power cords. If a
substitute is necessary use only hospital grade power cords.
CAUTION:The internal sampling system of the Gas Module does not
need to be cleaned or sterilized. There is no reverse flow
back to the patient. If the internal sampling system is
suspected to be clogged or dirty, the module should be
serviced by an authorized service person only.
CAUTION:To avoid permanent damage, do not expose metal
components (pins, sockets, snaps) to disinfectants, soaps or
chemicals.
CAUTION:Gas Module 3 must be moisture protected whenever

Notes
NOTE:Potential hazards due to errors in software or hardware
have been minimized by actions taken in accordance with
IEC 60601-1-4.
Indication For Use
The indications for use for the Gas Module 3 include monitoring of airway gases during
anesthesia and/or assisted respiration. The intended environment of use is the anesthesia
department, including the Operating Room (OR) and post anesthesia care units (PACU), etc.
Unpacking
Remove the instrument from the shipping carton and examine it for signs of shipping
damage. Save all packing materials, invoice and bill of lading. These may be required to

Mindray DS Service Department at (800) 288-2121 or (201) 995-8237 for prompt
assistance in resolving shipping problems.
The Water Trap Assembly is used to capture moisture drawn in with the patient sample. The
Water Trap Reservoir must be emptied and rinsed (with water only) whenever more than half
full or whenever changing patients. Refer to section 3.1 for more details.
