WARNING
10
Do not use the IRMA airway adapter with metered dose inhalsers or nebulized
medications as this may affect the light transmission of the airway adapter windows.
11
Do not try to open the oxygen sensor assembly. The oxygen sensor is a disposable
product and contains a caustic electrolyte and lead.
12
The IRMA probe is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used
in conjunction with other assessment of clinical signs and symptoms.
13
Incorrect probe zeroing will result in false gas readings.
14
Incorrect agent selection by the user for IRMA AX (no automatic agent identification)
will result in false agent readings.
15
Using IRMA AX (no automatic identification) with gas mixtures containing more than
one agent will result in false agent readings.
16
Replace the adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter.
17
Use only PHASEIN manufactured IRMA airway adapters.
CAUTION
1
Do not apply tension to the probe cable.
2
Do not operate the IRMA probe outside the specified operating temperature
environment.
3
Do not leave depleted oxygen sensors mounted in the IRMA probe, even if the probe
is not in use.
18.3 Monitoring Steps
18.3.1 Monitoring Steps for ISA Analyzer
18.3.1.1 Performing a Pre-use Check
Before connecting the Nomoline sampling line to the breathing circuit, do the following:
1. Connect the sampling line to the ISA gas inlet connector (LEGI).
2. Check that the LEGI shows a steady green light (indicating that the system is OK).
3. For ISA OR+ and ISA AX+ module with O
2
option fitted: Check that the O
2
reading on the
monitor is correct (21%).
4. Breathe into the sampling line and check that valid CO
2
waveforms and values are displayed
on the monitor.
5. Occlude the sampling line with a fingertip and wait for 10 seconds.
6. Check that an occlusion alarm is displayed and that the LEGI shows a flashing red light.
