Applying a Smart CapnoLine Oral/Nasal Cannula
The oral/nasal cannulas are intended for monitoring CO
2
in non-intubated patients.
Oral/nasal sampling cannulas are especially valuable for patients who are prone to mouth
breathing, since most (if not all) of the CO
2
is exhaled through the mouth. If a standard nasal
CO
2
sampling cannula is used on such patients, the EtCO
2
values and capnogram displayed will
be substantially lower than the actual CO
2
levels present in the patient’s expired breath.
Warning! • The disposable Smart CapnoLine oral/nasal cannula sets are intended for single
patient use. Do NOT reuse any part of this product as the monitor may be damaged by
reuse of the sampling line.
• If oxygen is being delivered while using CO
2
, be sure to use a CO
2
sampling with O
2
delivery. Using a different type of cannula will not enable oxygen delivery.
Remove the cannula from the package. Verify that the cannula is clean, dry, and undamaged.
Replace if necessary.
Placing the Cannula onto the Patient
Place the oral/nasal cannula onto the patient as follows:
Caution Dispose of Microstream EtCO
2
consumables according to standard operating procedures or
local regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste.
