INTRODUCTION Monitor Features This manual provides directions for setup and operation of the handheld capnograph monitor. The device is a handheld capnograph that continuously monitors end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and respiratory rate. The monitor is for attended monitoring only and must be used in the continuous presence of a qualified healthcare provider. It is intended for use in any environment where continuous, noninvasive monitoring of these parameters is desired, including hospital and mobile use (when protected from excessive moisture such as direct rainfall). The monitor is intended for use on adult, pediatric, and infant/neonatal patients. MONITOR FEATURES • Capnograph in a small, handheld, lightweight monitor. • Measures and displays EtCO2, and respiration rate, in one graphic and two digital displays. • Displays CO2 waveforms and trends. • Utilizes a wide range of Microstream EtCO2 circuits and adapters for all applications. • Operates on main line power or a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack. • Employs audible and visual alarm warnings for monitored parameters and instrument malfunctions. • Provides user selectable language options: English, French, German, Spanish. • Displays EtCO2 values in mmHg, kPa or Vol%. • Provides output for printer or PC. 7
OVERVIEW Principles of Operation Displays, Controls, and Connectors
The monitor incorporates Oridion’s Microstream capnography technology. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The monitor uses Microstream non-dispersive infrared (IR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of CO2 during every breath, the amounts of CO2 present at the end of exhalation (EtCO2) and during inhalation (FiCO2), and the Respiratory Rate. Infrared spectroscopy is used to measure the concentration of molecules that absorb infrared light. Because the absorption is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing molecule, the concentration can be determined by comparing its absorption to that of a known standard. The Microstream EtCO2 circuits deliver a sample of the inhaled and exhaled gases from the ventilator circuit or directly from the patient into the monitor for CO2 measurement. Moisture and patient secretions are extracted from the sample while maintaining the shape of the CO2 waveform. The 50 ml/min. low sampling flow rate reduces liquid and secretion accumulation, thus the sample flow is not obstructed, even in humid ICU environments. Once inside the Microstream CO2 sensor, the gas sample goes through a microsample cell (15 microliters). This extremely small volume is quickly flushed, allowing for fast rise time and accurate CO2 readings, even at high respiration rates. The Microbeam IR source illuminates the microsample cell and the reference channel. This proprietary IR light source generates only the specific wavelengths characteristic of the CO2 absorption spectrum. Therefore, no compensations are required when different 9
Overview
concentrations of N2O, O2, anesthetic agents, and water vapor are present in the inhaled and exhaled breath. The radiation that passes through the microsample cell and the radiation that passes through the reference channel are measured by the IR detectors. The microcomputer in the monitor calculates the CO2 concentration by comparing the signals from both channels. Microstream EtCO2 Circuits - Microstream FilterLine The Microstream FilterLine has four active elements that work together to offer a solution to the problems that have previously posed challenges to capnography in ICU, emergency, and transport applications. These elements are described below. * Hydrophobic filter
The hydrophobic filter is located at the end of the sample line that is closest to the capnograph. This filter strips the remaining water vapor from the gas sample while keeping a laminar flow of the gas. This laminar flow minimizes distortion of the CO2 waveform. This filter is made of 0.45µ hydrophobic porous media that reduces biological contaminants. * Drying element
The drying element is a tube made of a synthetic material that is chemically stable and has high water absorption. This material allows the water vapor to pass outside the tube, thereby adjusting the humidity inside the FilterLine close to the level of humidity in the ambient air.

Overview
* Sample line
The sample line has low dead space due to its small internal diameter. This provides a sharp waveform and an accurate CO2 reading at high breath rate per minute. The sample line is not affected by gases and anesthetic agents in the operating room environment. * FilterLine Recognition Safeguard
When the FilterLine is attached to the monitor, the FilterLine Recognition Safeguard (FRS) identifies the FilterLine and activates the monitor, thus enabling it to take a measurement. - Microstream Airway Adapter The Microstream airway adapter design provides multiple channels for the sampled air from the airway minimizing the possibility of water infiltration or line blockage. These multiple channels allow uninterrupted monitoring for all adapter orientations and in all applications. The Microstream airway adapter provides optimal performance in all directions and is seldom disabled by secretions or liquids.

POWER REQUIREMENTS The monitor operates on batteries or on AC power. It is equipped with a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack. When a power outlet is available, use the medical grade AC adapter provided with the monitor. Before using the monitor in the field, ensure that the battery pack is fully charged. (At the measuring mode, check that the battery icon at the right side of the graphic display is full.) Note: If the battery is not fully charged, the icon may first show as full and after a short period of time will drop to indicate the real charge level. A fully charged battery pack provides between three to six operating hours, depending on power management (refer to Table 6 for a description of the power management options). WARNING: Use only the medical-grade AC adapter provided by the manufacturer. If in doubt about the integrity of the mains supply connection, operate the monitor from its internal battery pack.
WARNING: To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with circuits that are electrically isolated.
