/0%2!4)/. This section of the Operating Instructions provides general guidelines and step-by-step instructions for the proper use of the MULTINEX / Gas Module. Perform all instructions in the order given. Do not omit any instructions. Numbers in parenthesis identify the controls and indicators previously described in Chapter 2, Controls and Indicators.
'ENERAL 'UIDELINES The MULTINEX / Gas Module calculates and displays Inspired O2, End-Tidal CO2, Inspired CO2, Inspired and Expired N2O, and Respiration Rate. Inspired and Expired Anesthetic Agent data is only available on units with Agent capability. NOTE: Prior to applying des. or sev., select agent id disabled mode, then select agent. Failure to do so will cause erroneous CO2, N2O and agent readings. SaO2 and Pulse Rate data is only available on the 4000 Plus, 4000ID Plus and 4200 models. Operation of the MULTINEX / Gas Module is based on breath-by-breath measurements via a catheter and a breathing-tube adaptor. The 7-inch raster type CRT displays a maximum of three trace waveforms, trended data, alarm limits, and user-messages. Trace 1 always displays the CO2 waveform. Trace 2 and Trace 3 are used to display the other available waveforms, i.e., N2O, Pleth, and Cascaded CO2 (CO2DY). Trace 2 is always the Agent waveform on units with Agent capability. Each trace area is outlined and scaled with it’s appropriate units.

4URNING 0OWER /. 1. Attach the catheter to the MULTINEX / Gas Module before turning the unit ON. 2. Turn the front panel ON/OFF switch (6) ON. Observe the illumination of the CRT and digital displays and two audible beeps. The system performs a self-test before proceeding with monitoring. If a problem exists a message will appear identifying it. In some cases a prompt will ask the operator if they wish to continue monitoring (of SaO2 only). See Section 4.3 for messages and responses. O2 cell calibration is the next step in this process and takes two minutes to complete. During O2 cell calibration, two or three flat traces appear on the screen with the message "O2CAL: XXX", where XXX denotes the time remaining in seconds until the completion of the O2 Cal. After the O2 Cal is complete, the unit calibrates the gas channels and operation begins. The agent channel is not operational for the first five minutes. The unit is fully operational (reaches full specification) (including agent) after a 5-minute warm-up period. Additional calibrations are recommended at 30 minutes and any time the operator feels the need to re-calibrate (see drift specification). WARNING: When using the MULTINEX / Gas Module prior to a warm-up period of 5 minutes, its accuracy may not meet specification. WARNING: Evaporated alcohol or organic vapor will affect the reading of the Halothane, Enflurane or Isoflurane display. Alcohol in the patient’s breath cannot be distinguished from an anesthetic agent. A reading of the patient’s expired breath on the MULTINEX / Gas Module display should be taken before the administration of an anesthetic agent to establish the presence of alcohol or organic agents.

4YPICAL /PERATION NOTE: The following sequence is presented only to describe to the operator a simple, straightforward method for using the multinex and does not take the place of other instructions described in this manual. 1. Set Up Connect an ac power cord to the AC Power Connector (42) and into an ac receptacle. 2. Catheter Connection Attach the catheter to the Sample Connector (18). Attach an appropriate breathing tube adaptor to the catheter. 3. Sensor Connection (Models with SaO2 option only) Plug the appropriate Datascope SaO2 sensor into the Patient Connector (17). 4. Main Power Switch Press the POWER ON/OFF switch (6) to the ON position. The unit begins a "self-check" and a two minute calibration for the O2 cell, followed by a calibration of the CO2, N2O and Agent channels. Auto-calibration occurs during the first 5 minutes. 5. Agent Analysis a. Agent ID Versions (Models 4000ID Plus, 4100ID Plus) Select the mode of agent identification desired, AUTO, VERIFY or ID DISABLED, using AGENT ID MODE (7). If VERIFY or ID DISABLED is selected, use AGENT SELECT (19) to indicate the agent being delivered. NOTE: When using Sevoflurane or Suprane, the ID DISABLED mode must be used. The MULTINEX will not AUTO ID or VERIFY Sevoflurane or Suprane. NOTE: Prior to applying des. or sev., select agent id disabled mode, then select agent. Failure to do so will cause erroneous CO2, N2O and agent readings. b. Agent Versions (Models 4000 Plus, 4100 Plus & Gas Module) Use AGENT SELECT (19) to indicate the agent being delivered.
