to step 4.
a. Verify proper connection of the adapter to the sensor.
b. Verify that the airway adapter windows are clean and dry.
c. If the adapter is properly connected, and the windows are clean and dry, then zero the
adapter as described in “Zeroing the Mainstream CAPNOSTAT 5 CO2 Sensor/Airway

most, of the exhalation be routed through the airway adapter.
Cleaning the CAPNOSTAT 5 CO

Sensor
The outside of the sensor or module may be cleaned and disinfected by wiping with 70%
isopropyl alcohol, a 10% bleach solution, or mild soap.
After cleaning, wipe with a clean, water-dampened cloth to rinse. Dry before use.
Cleaning Reusable Airway Adapters
Reusable airway adapters may be cleaned by rinsing in a warm soapy solution, followed by
soaking in a liquid disinfectant such as 70% isopropyl alcohol, a 10% bleach solution, Cidex
®
or System 1
®
(refer to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for use). Adapters should
then be rinsed with sterile water and dried.
The adult reusable airway adapter may be autoclaved at 121° C (250°F) for 20 minutes,
unwrapped.
Note: The Neonatal reusable airway adapter cannot be autoclaved.
Before reusing the adapter, ensure the windows are dry and residue-free, and that the adapter
has not been damaged during handling or by the cleaning process.
