INTRODUCTION Monitor Features This manual provides directions for setup and operation of the monitor. The monitor is a portable bedside capnograph/pulse oximeter that continuously monitors end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), respiratory rate (RR), fractional inspired carbon dioxide (FiCO2), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate. The unit is indicated for 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 • Combines a capnograph and pulse oximeter in a small, portable, lightweight monitor.

• Measures and displays EtCO2, FiCO2, respiration rate, SpO2, and pulse rate in one graphic and two digital displays.

• Displays CO2 and SpO2 waveforms and trends. • Utilizes a wide range of Microstream EtCO2 consumables and Nellcor SpO2 sensors for all applications.

• Operates on mains 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, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and Portuguese.

OVERVIEW Principles of Operation Displays, Controls and Connectors The monitor combines Oridion’s Microstream capnography technology with Nellcor pulse oximetry technology. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Capnography The monitor uses Microstream non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of CO2 during every breath, the amount 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 consumables deliver a sample of the inhaled and exhaled gases from the ventilator consumable or directly from the patient (via an oral/nasal cannula) 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. sampling flow rate reduces liquid and secretion accumulation, decreasing the risk of obstruction in the sample pathway in humid ICU environments. Once inside the Microstream CO2 sensor, the gas sample goes through a micro sample 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 Micro Beam IR source illuminates the micro sample cell and the reference cell. This proprietary IR light source generates only the specific wavelengths characteristic of the CO2 absorption spectrum. 9

Overview

Therefore, no compensations are required when different concentrations of N2O, O2, anesthetic agents and water vapor are present in the inhaled and exhaled breath. The IR that passes through the micro sample cell and the IR that passes through the reference cell are measured by the IR detectors. The microcomputer in the monitor calculates the CO2 concentration by comparing the signals from both channels. Microstream EtCO2 Consumables The following products comprise the Microstream EtCO2 consumables: Intubated • FilterLine Set (for non–humid environments

• FilterLine H set (for humid environments). Non-intubated • Smart CapnoLine Oral Nasal Cannula – for use in procedural sedation. Also available with O2 delivery.

• CapnoLine H – for use in ICU for patients receiving hi–flow oxygen by mask or on long term CPAP or Bi-PAP. Also available with O2 delivery.

• NIV–Line – for use under oxygen CPAP, Bi–PAP or NPPV mask and to avoid intubation during EMS transport. Special Procedure FilterLines • FilterLine XL– Provides extended length so that the monitor can be used safely during MRI (see, page 48). Note:

The generic term FilterLine, used in this manual, is interchangeable with any of the Microstream EtCO2 consumables.

Overview

FilterLine The FilterLine has five active elements that work together to offer a solution to the problems that have previously proved challenging 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. *

Drying element

The drying element is a tube made of a synthetic material that is extremely 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. *

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 a 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 pump, thus enabling measuring.

Overview

Airway Adapter

The 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 airway adapter provides optimal performance in all directions and is seldom disabled by secretions or liquids. Pulse Oximetry Operating Principles Pulse oximetry is based on two principles: oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry), and the volume of arterial blood in tissue (and hence, light absorption by that blood) changes during the pulse (plethysmography). A pulse oximeter determines SpO2 by passing red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed and measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Red and infrared low–power light–emitting diodes (LEDs) in the oximetry sensor serve as light sources; a photodiode serves as the photodetector. Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in light absorption, the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to hemoglobin oxygen saturation. To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses the pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood enters the vascular bed and blood volume and light absorption increase. During diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. The monitor bases its SpO2 measurements on the difference between maximum and minimum absorption (measurements at systole and diastole). The focus of light absorption by pulsatile arterial blood eliminates the effects of nonpulsatile absorbers such as tissue, bone, and venous blood.

12

Overview

Automatic Calibration Because light absorption by hemoglobin is wavelength dependent and because the mean wavelength of LEDs varies, an oximeter must know the mean wavelength of the sensor's red LED to accurately measure SpO2. During monitoring, the instrument's software selects coefficients that are appropriate for the wavelength of that individual sensor's red LED; these coefficients are then used to determine SpO2. Additionally, to compensate for differences in tissue thickness, the light intensity of the sensor's LEDs is adjusted automatically. Functional versus Fractional Saturation This monitor measures functional saturation–oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen. It does not detect significant amounts of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin. In contrast, laboratory hemoximeters report fractional saturation–oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin, including measured dysfunctional hemoglobins. To compare functional saturation measurements to those from an instrument that measures fractional saturation, fractional measurements must be converted as follows: functionalsaturation =

fractionalsaturation 100 - (% carboxyhemoglobin + % methemoglobin)

× 100

Measured versus Calculated Saturation When saturation is calculated from a blood gas partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), the calculated value may differ from the SpO2 measurement of a pulse oximeter. This usually occurs because the calculated saturation was not appropriately corrected for the effects of variables that shift the relationship between PO2 and saturation: pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3DPG, and fetal hemoglobin.
