Loose or damaged connections may compromise
ventilation or cause an inaccurate measurement of
respiratory gases. Securely connect all components
and check connections for leaks according to stan-
dard clinical procedures.
Do not cut or remove any part of the sample line. Cut-
ting the sample line could lead to erroneous readings.
Check CO and O
2
ensure that no kinks are present. Kinked tubing may
cause inaccurate CO
to patient.
Ensure that tubing is not stretched during use.
Do not attempt to clean, disinfect, sterilize or flush
any part of the sampling line as this can cause dam-
age to the monitor.
Dispose of sampling lines according to standard op-
erating procedures or local regulations for the dis-
posal of contaminated medical waste.

sampling lines include CapnoLine H/Long, Capno-
Line H O , Smart CapnoLine H/Long, Smart Capno-

The use of non H sampling lines is advised.
Replace the sampling line according to hospital pro-
tocol or when a blockage is indicated by the device.
Excessive patient secretions or a build-up of liquids
in the airway tubing may occlude the sampling line,
requiring more frequent replacement.
When connecting a sampling line to the monitor, in-
sert the sampling line connecter clockwise into the
monitor CO port and turn the connector until it can

no longer be turned, to ensure that it is connected se-
curely to the monitor. This will assure that there is no
leak of gases during measurement at the connection
point and that measurement accuracy is not compro-
mised.
