Introduction
Monitor Features
This manual provides directions for setup and operation of the portable capnograph monitor. The device is a portable capnograph that continuously monitors end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), fractional inspired carbon dioxide (FiCO2) and respiratory rate (RR). The monitor is 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 hospital type facilities. The monitor is intended for use on adult, pediatric, and infant/neonatal patients.

Overview
Principles of Operation FilterLine Displays, Controls, and Connectors
The monitor incorporates Oridions Microstream capnography technology.
Principles of Operation
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 circuit 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 microsample cell (15 microliters). This extremely small volume is
13
Overview
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 concentrations of N2O, O2, anesthetic agents, and water vapor are present in the inhaled and exhaled breath. The IR that passes through the microsample cell and the IR 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 Consumables The following products comprise the Microstream EtCO2 consumables: Sample Lines and Airway Adapter Sets for Intubated Patients: FilterLine Set (for nonhumid environments). FilterLine H Set (for humid environments). Nasal and Oral/Nasal Cannulas for Non-intubated patients: Smart CapnoLine Plus for use in procedural sedation. Also available with O2 delivery. CapnoLine H for patients receiving hiflow oxygen by mask, on long term CPAP or Bi-PAP, or post-op pain management. Also available with O2 delivery. NIV Line for use under oxygen, CPAP, BiPAP or NPPV mask.
* Smart products provide oral and nasal sampling. H products are for long term use.
14
FilterLine
Special Procedure FilterLines FilterLine XL Provides extended length so that the monitor can be used safely during MRI (see MRI Scanning on page 44).
Note: The generic term FilterLine, used in this manual, is interchangeable with any of the Microstream EtCO2 consumables.
FilterLine
The FilterLine has five active elements that work together to offer a solution to the problems that have previously posed challenges to capnography in ICU, emergency, and intra-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 a 0.2 hydrophobic porous medium.
* 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.
* 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.
15
Overview
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 measuring.
* 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.

MRI Scanning
WARNING: Do not use the FilterLine H Set Infant/Neonatal consumable during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Using the FilterLine H Set Infant/Neonatal during MRI scanning could harm the patient. During MRI scanning, the monitor must be placed outside the MRI suite. When the monitor is used outside the MRI suite, EtCO2 monitoring can be implemented by using the FilterLine XL, to provide extended length.
CAUTION:
Non-invasive EtCO2 monitoring during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be accomplished with the monitor and a FilterLine XL as follows: 1.
Note:
Place the monitor outside the MRI suite. There must be a hole in the wall of the suite (approximately 10cm diameter).
A small hole at the base of the wall does not affect the integrity of the MRI shielding (shielding of a 1.5 Tesla magnet).
2.
Connect the FilterLine XL to the monitor and guide the FilterLine XL through the hole in the wall of the MRI suite. Attach the FilterLine XL to the patient.
Due to the extended length of the FilterLine XL, there may be a slower response and a decreased frequency response time.
Note:
To purchase the FilterLine XL, contact your local representative.
Standby

Calibration
CAUTION:
Microstream EtCO2 consumables are designed for single patient use and are not to be reprocessed. Do not attempt to disinfect or flush the FilterLine as the monitor can be damaged.
Calibration
Calibrate after 1,400 hours of initial use. After that, calibration should be performed any time the monitor displays the advisory message Calibration Required. Calibration should be performed annually or after 4,000 hours, whichever comes first, by qualified service personnel.
Note: It is recommended that you calibrate the monitor within two weeks of the message appearing on the monitor. The monitor is calibrated when it leaves the factory.
Note:
CO2 Calibration Check

The process should be performed only after the device has been operating for at least 20 minutes in a normal operating mode and connected to a FilterLine. The calibration check must be performed with a manufacturer authorized Calibration Kit containing 5% CO2 gas and the connecting means. A manufacturer approved Calibration Kit can be purchased from your Technical Services representative or from Scott Medical (part number 0304653ORFBD). The kit consists of: Calibration Gas containing 5% CO2, 21% O2 Tubing Adapter Calibration Line CAUTION: Do not check CO2 values from the Measuring mode. This mode corrects the CO2 value for BTPS (Body, Temperature, Pressure, Saturation) which assumes that alveolar gases are saturated with water vapor. The Calibration Check mode disables this correction.
59
Maintenance
CAUTION:
The instrument should not be in Standby Mode before beginning the calibration check process. To prevent the device from entering Standby Mode, measure at least two breaths. The device will then remain in normal operating mode with an active Apnea (for software versions prior to 2.7) or No Breath (from software version 2.7) alarm.
If this process is performed while a battery powers the device, make sure that the battery is fully charged. Prior to calibration, verify that the FilterLine supplied with the Calibration Kit is firmly attached.
