Sterilization
• Liquid Chemical Sterilization
Remove obvious contamination by using the cleaning procedure described previously. Select a sterilant
that your hospital or institution has found to be effective for liquid chemical sterilization of operating room
equipment. Buffered gluteraldehyed (e.g. Cidex or Hospisept) has been found to be effective. Do not use
quaternary cationic detergents such as zephiran chloride. If the whole unit is to be sterilized, immerse the
transducer but not the electrical connector into the sterilant for the recommended sterilizing period.
Be sure that the dome is removed. Then rinse all transducer parts except the electrical connector with
sterilized water or saline. The transducer must be thoroughly dried before storing.
• Gas Sterilization
For more complete asepsis, use gas sterilization.
Remove obvious contamination by using the cleaning procedure described previously. To inhibit the
formation of ethylene glycol when ethylene oxide gas is used as the disinfectant, the transducer should be
completely dry.
Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the gas disinfectant.
Warning
• The sterilize temperature must not exceed 70°C (158°F). Plastics in the pressure transducer may deform or
melt above this temperature.
Chapter 16
Co2 MeASurInG(oPtIonAl)

16.1General

This chapter offers some relevant data concerning CO2 monitoring.
The monitor provides two kinds of CO2 measuring methods as per the requirements of users,which are
MainStream and SideStream.
The module is used to monitor continuous carbon dioxide and report the End Tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2),
Inspired CO2 (InsCO2) and Air Way Respiratory Rate(AWRR) values of the intubated and non-intubated
adult, pediatric ,infant and neonatal patient.
CO2: EtCO2
INS: Inspired Minimum CO2(InsCO2).
AWRR: Air Way Respiration (AwRR)(Resp. times/MIN).
Note
• Before use, if the measurement is MainStream,you must set the "work mode" to "measure"in the submenu
"OTHER SET" of "CO2 SETUP",otherwise the module will not work correctly.
• Don't use the device in the environment with flammable anesthetic gas.
• The device can only be operated by personnel having taken professional training and familiar with this
manual.
Warning
• CO2 module shall be avoided from crash and vibration.
• Do not operate the CO2 Module when it is wet or has exterior condensation.
• Do not connect the exhaust tube to the ventilator circuit.
• This product and its accessories are latex free.
• DO NOT use device on patients that can not tolerate the withdrawal of 50 ml/min +/- 10 ml/min from the
airway or patients that can not tolerate the added dead space to the airway.

16.2 Monitoring Procedure

16.2.1 Principle of operation

The measurement of this module is based on the feature that the CO2 molecule absorbs 4.3um infrared ray.
The measurement procedure is as follows : send the CO2 to a measurement chamber inside the module
through the airway system, and then irradiate infrared ray at one side of the chamber and use the sensor to
measure the attenuation degree of the received infrared ray at the other side. Since the attenuation degree of
the infrared ray is proportional to the concentration of CO2, the CO2 concentration is calculated.
