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

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
Symbol | Description |
---|---|
AA1 | Anesthetic agent as a percentage of concentration (if detected, that |
specific agent will be displayed).
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:
- Attach an airway adapter to the anesthesia sensor. The adapter will click when properly seated.
- Connect the anesthesia sensor cable to either USB-A port on the Certifier™ flow analyzer using the supplied DB-9 serial to USB converter.
- Power on the Certifier™ instrument and configure the anesthesia sensor measurements.
- Wait a minimum of 30 seconds then perform the zeroing procedure.
- The green status LED on the anesthesia sensor illuminates when the sensor is ready for use.
- Connect the attached airway adapter to the anesthesia test circuit.
- 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.
The manufacturer (Masimo®) and serial number (ex. 914990) of the anesthesia sensor are displayed in the heading of the module card dialog screen.
NOTICE
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.
The presence of ambient air (0% CO2) in the airway adapter is of crucial importance for a successful zeroing. No span zeroing is required. 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.

Note 3: Interference at indicated gas level. For example, 50 vol% Helium
typically decreases the CO2 readings by 6%. This means that if measuring on a
mixture containing 5.0 vol% CO2 and 50 vol% Helium, the actual measured CO2
concentration will typically be (1-0.06) * 5.0 vol% = 4.7 vol% CO2.
