Handheld Mainstream and Sidestream CO2/SpO2 Monitors

CapnoTrue®AMP / CapnoTrue®ASP

Selecting Power Supply External Power Supply

Li-Poly Battery or AA Alkaline Batteries

Connect the power supply cable into the power input socket located at the back of the device.

1. Slide down the cover of the battery compartment on the rear panel.

Only use the power supply Model No. FW 7660M/06 provided with the monitor. The use of a power supply other than this may result in hazardous situation and effect patient’s safety.

2. Insert 4 alkaline batteries (1.5V, AA), ensure the correct orientation in accordance with the polarity markings. 3. Alternatively, insert the rechargeable Li-Poly battery (Model Nr. CT-2500) orientated according to the guiding grooves.

Warnings 1. Zeroing needs to be performed only when an offset in gas values is observed, or when an unspecified accuracy message is displayed. Incorrect zeroing will result in false CO2 gas readings. Refer to chapter 11.4 for detailed information. 2. Do not place the IRMA airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and an elbow as this may allow patient secretions to block the adapter windows and result in incorrect operation. 3. To keep secretions and moisture from pooling on the windows, always position the IRMA CO2 analyzer in a vertical position.

Connecting Sensors Sidestream CO2 Measurement (CapnoTrue ASP)

Mainstream CO2 Measurement (CapnoTrue AMP)

1. Insert the Nomo Adaptor head into the CO2 sidestream inlet port located on the top edge of the CapnoTrue ASP

1. Secure the CO2 analyzer on top of the IRMA airway adapter. It will click into place when correctly seated.

SpO2 Sensor Inspect the SpO2 sensor and connector cables for any external damage. Insert the SpO2 sensor cable into the SpO2 sensor port located on the top edge of the device.

2. Connect a sampling line assembly to the female Luer Lock connection at the Nomo Adapter. A typical sampling line assembly for intubated patients consists of a sampling line and a sidestream airway adapter. For non-intubated patients, a sampling line configuration with nasal and/or oral sampling is typical.

Refer to the sensor ‘Instructions for Use’ to determine if an appropriate sensor is being used, and if it is applied correctly. 2. Connect the 15 mm male connector of the IRMA airway adapter to the breathing circuit Y-piece. 3. Connect the 15 mm female connector of the IRMA airway adapter to the endotracheal tube with or without an angled connector.
