CAUTION
Routinely inspect the hose assemblies for proper attachment and orientation. Replace hose
assemblies with cracks, holes, tears, or cuts that could cause leaks in the system. If hose
assemblies with damage that could result in leaks are used, prolonged and/or inaccurate patient
readings could result.
Note
Always inspect the patient sampling line after attachment to the MR400. If questionable anesthetic
agent gas measurements are observed, recheck the patient connections, the anesthesia gas
machine, and/or the vaporizer before readjusting anesthesia delivery.

WARNING
Patient sampling lines are intended for single-patient use only. Do not clean or disinfect these
items. Follow your hospital’s guidelines for appropriate disposal. Reuse of single-use devices
can result in spread of patient infection, degradation of monitoring performance, or
inaccurate measurements.
CAUTION
The accuracy of the data is greatly influenced by the proper use and fitting of the patient sampling
line to ensure proper sampling without the introduction of outside air.
