7. Remove and discard the device after use, not to exceed 2 hours.
CAUTION:
75°F
STORE AT OR BELOW 24°C 75°F. STORAGE FOR EXTENDED
24°C
PERIODS AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 24°C 75°F MAY
REDUCE SHELF LIFE.
CAUTIONS:
• Inspect the EASYCAP II detector before attaching it to the
endotracheal tube. Do not use if any physical damage is
observed.
• Do not use device in the presence of trichlorethylene or
chloroform anesthetic; chemical interactions will affect device
accuracy.
• Do not subject device to extreme humidity, such as a heated
humidifier or nebulizer; excessive humidity will affect device
accuracy.
• Reflux of gastric contents, mucus, edema fluid, or intratracheal
epinephrine into the EASYCAP II detector can yield persistent
patchy yellow or white discoloration which does not vary with the
respiratory cycle. Contamination of this type may also increase
airway resistance and affect ventilation. Discard device if this
occurs.
• In cardiac arrest, re-establishment of cardiac output and
pulmonary blood flow by adequate CPR is necessary to increase
end-tidal CO
(above 0.5%).
• The EASYCAP II detector is not a substitute for observation of the
patient. This device must not be relied upon as the sole indicator
of resuscitation performance.
