ZERO DONE The sensor/adapter zero is finished. No action required.
ZERO FAILED The zero operation did not complete
successfully. Clear the occlusion, remove any source of
CO
2
, and try zeroing again. If problem
persists, contact Technical Support.

Message/Symptom Possible Cause(s) Recommended Action(s)
CHECK CO2 ADAPTER This is usually caused when the airway
adapter is removed from the
CAPNOSTAT 5 CO
2
sensor, or when
there is an optical blockage on the
windows of the airway adapter.
It may also be caused by not having
performed an adapter zero after
changing the adapter type (single patient
use vs. reusable).
Clean the airway adapter and reattach it.
If the problem persists or the adapter
type was changed, perform a mainstream
airway adapter zero as described in
“Zeroing the Mainstream CAPNOSTAT 5
CO2 Sensor/Airway Adapter” on page 6.
CHECK CO2 SENSOR The CAPNOSTAT 5 CO
2
sensor cable is
not properly plugged in or is over
temperature.
Check that the sensor cable is plugged in
and properly seated in the connector.
Check that the sensor is not exposed to
excessive heat.
If the problem persists, replace the
sensor.
CO2 DEVICE NOT READY There is CO
2
in the airway adapter when
attempting to zero.
Zeroing was attempted within 20 seconds
of previous zero operation.
Remove airway adapter from CO
2
source
including the patient’s, and your own
exhaled breaths, and ventilator exhaust
valves.
Wait up to 20 seconds before retrying a
mainstream airway adapter zero, as
described in “Zeroing the Mainstream
CAPNOSTAT 5 CO2 Sensor/Airway
Adapter” on page 6.
ZERO CO2 ADAPTER Negative CO
2
detected. May be caused
by a sensor that was zeroed with CO
2
in
the airway, or by an optical blockage of
the airway adapter.
Check the airway adapter and clean if
necessary. Perform a mainstream airway
adapter zero as described in “Zeroing the
Mainstream CAPNOSTAT 5 CO2
Sensor/Airway Adapter” on page 6.
ZEROING CO2 ADAPTER Adapter zeroing is in progress. Wait for the adapter zeroing to finish.
