• Use and store the sensor in accordance with specifications.

Performance

WARNING

• Use only airway adapters manufactured by Masimo®.
• No modification of the probe or airway adapters is allowed.
• Light transmission can be affected by and moisture pooling on the airway adapter XTP™ windows. When using heated humidifiers special care should be paid to position the airway adapter in a vertical position and to change airway adapter if necessary.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided as it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating properly.
• Make sure the anesthesia sensor is used in the electromagnetic environment specified in this manual.
• Use of high-frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the sensor may produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the sensor including cable. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of the sensor could result.
• Incorrect zeroing of the anesthesia sensor will result in false gas readings.
• Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or provided could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
• Replace the airway adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter.

CAUTION
DO NOT operate the anesthesia sensor outside of the specified operating environment.

Cleaning and Service

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, always physically disconnect the anesthesia sensor and any electrical connections before cleaning.

CAUTION

• NEVER submerge the sensor in water or any other liquid solution this may cause permanent damage to the sensor.
• DO NOT apply excessive pressure on the IR-windows.
• NEVER saturate the anesthesia sensor completely with any disinfection solution.
• Only perform maintenance procedures specifically described in the manual; otherwise, return the sensor for servicing. Improper maintenance may result in damage to the internal parts. Damage to internal parts may result in no or inaccurate readings.
• DO NOT clean the sensor with any chemical other than those specified in this manual. These substances may affect the device’s materials and damage internal parts.
• The anesthesia sensor and airway adapters are non-sterile devices. DO NOT submerge the sensor or airway adapters in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage the device.

List of Components

Anesthesia Sensor Kit (Model 4093)

Optional Accessory

Multi-Gas Anesthetic Analyzer
The anesthesia sensor is a mainstream gas analyzer that works in conjunction with the TSI® Certifier™ Plus or Certifier™ Pro test systems to measure real- time gas concentrations of CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agents Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, and Desflurane.

Principle of Operation
The measurement of CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agents in gas mixtures is based on the fact that different gas components absorb infrared light at specific wavelengths. A beam of infrared light is directed through the gas flow in the anesthesia sensor adapter. As the beam passes through the adapter, some of the light is absorbed by the gas mixture.
The amount of absorbed light is measured by a miniaturized spectrometer which incorporates multiple light filters and an infrared detector that converts the light beam to an electrical signal and then a digital value. The ratio of light measured through the filters is used to calculate the gas concentration.

Available Measurements

CO2| Concentration of carbon dioxide as a percentage.
N2O| Concentration of nitrous oxide as a percentage.
PATM| Atmospheric pressure displayed in units cmH2O, kPa, Pa, hPa, mbar, mmHg, inH2O, or psi.

Connecting the Anesthesia Sensor
The anesthesia sensor is connected to the USB-A port of the Certifier™ flow analyzer which provides power and user control from its instrument display.
An airway adapter is inserted into the sensor module which can then connect to the test circuit. There are two types of airway adapters that can be used with the anesthesia sensor: adult/pediatric and infant.
Follow the steps below to setup the anesthesia sensor:

1. Attach an airway adapter to the anesthesia sensor. The adapter will click when properly seated.
2. Connect the anesthesia sensor cable to either USB-A port on the Certifier™ flow analyzer using the supplied DB-9 serial to USB converter.
3. Power on the Certifier™ instrument and configure the anesthesia sensor measurements.
4. Wait a minimum of 30 seconds then perform the zeroing procedure.
5. The green status LED on the anesthesia sensor illuminates when the sensor is ready for use.
6. Connect the attached airway adapter to the anesthesia test circuit.
7. Position the anesthesia sensor with the status LED pointing upwards.

CAUTION

• DO NOT run anesthetic agents through Certifier™ flow modules/channels.
• Use of the anesthesia sensor with Certifier™ Flow Analyzers is for testing purposes only and should not be used for human measurements.

Touchscreen Operation
Once the anesthesia sensor is connected to the Certifier™ flow analyzer, a module card will be generated at the top of the dashboard for the connected sensor.

Module Card
The module card will display the model number of the connected sensor (IRMA AX+) and the anesthetic agent detected by the anesthesia sensor. If no anesthetic agent is detected, the module card will display “No Agent.”
Press the IRMA AX+ module card to view and edit settings for the anesthesia sensor.

The manufacturer (Masimo®) and serial number (ex. 914990) of the anesthesia sensor are displayed in the heading of the module card dialog screen.

Selecting Measurements
From the Parameter screen, access the measurement selection screen by pressing on any of the currently displayed measurement symbols, readings, or units of measurement, or by pressing the pencil icon in the right navigation bar.

Press the (+) ADD tile to select an additional measurement, or press the measurement symbol of a currently selected measurement to change that measurement parameter.

Once pressed, a list of available measurements will be displayed in alphabetical order. If more than one module is connected, a letter (ex. M, A, B) will indicate which module the measurement is coming from. The letter “M” is used to indicate measurements coming from the Masimo® anesthesia sensor module. Swipe up and down to scroll through the list options then tap to select. Press the orange X button in the right navigation bar at any time to disregard all changes and return to the Parameter screen.
Press the green √ checkmark button in the right navigation bar to save changes and returns you to the Parameter screen.

Zeroing the Anesthesia Sensor
Zeroing should be performed every time the airway adapter is replaced, or whenever an offset in gas values or an unspecified gas accuracy message is displayed.
Before proceeding with the zeroing procedure, allow 30 seconds for warm up after powering on the anesthesia sensor or after changing the adapter. The green LED on the sensor will be blinking for approximately 5 seconds while zeroing is in process.

Zeroing Procedure
Zeroing is performed by snapping a new airway adapter on the anesthesia sensor without connecting to the test circuit and then using the Certifier™ flow analyzer to transmit a zero reference command to the anesthesia sensor.

NOTICE
The presence of ambient air (0% CO2) in the airway adapter is of crucial importance for a successful zeroing. No span zeroing is required.

Expose the anesthesia sensor to ambient air and press CONFIRM.

A dialog screen will appear while the anesthesia sensor goes through the zeroing process. It takes approximately 5–10 seconds to zero the anesthesia sensor.

A message will be displayed once the zeroing process has completed. Press DONE to return to the previous screen.

Status LED
The status LED provides visual indication of the anesthesia sensor status and illuminates in different colors depending on the state of the device.

NOTICE
Without an airway adapter connected, the status LED will not illuminate.

The status LED is located above the airway adapter inlet on the front of the anesthesia sensor device.
