WARNING

When using the airway adapter on patients with low

ventilatory amount, due to the airway adapter’s dead

space volume (4 mL), the CO2 sensor might have

difficulty in detecting no breath. Perform ventilation

taking into consideration the 4 mL dead space volume.

CAUTION

The airway adapter is non-sterilized and disposable.

Use only for a single patient and single use. Failure to

follow this instruction causes cross infection.

CAUTION

Failure to follow the instructions below degrades the

anti-fogging ability of the transparent film and results

in incorrect measurement.

• Replace the airway adapter with a new one every 24

hours.

• Replace the airway adapter with a new one if blood,

sputum or mucus adhere to the transparent film.

• Do not damage the transparent film. Do not let dust

or detergent contact the transparent film. Do not

touch, wipe or clean the transparent film with fingers

or cleaners.

CAUTION

United States law restricts this product to sale by or on

the order of a physician.

NOTE

• Open the package just before use.

• Do not leave the airway adapter in a place with high

temperature such as on a dashboard of a car. This

may deform the airway adapter and cause inaccurate

measurement.

• Loose or damaged connections may compromise

ventilation or result in inaccurate measurements of

respiratory gases. Securely connect all components and

check the connections regularly.
