1 Intended use
The CAPNOMETER Emergency Capnograph Monitor measures, displays and monitors carbon dioxide
concentration and respiratory rate during anesthesia, recovery and respiratory care. It may be used in the
operating suite, intensive care unit, patient room, clinic, emergency medicine and emergency transport
settings for adult and pediatric patients.

2 Safety Information
2.1 Warnings
Adhere to the following warnings for safe operation of Capnometer Emergency Capnograph.

WARNING! Capnometer Emergency Capnograph should only be used for the purpose and in the

manner described in the manual.

WARNING! Use only Prior-care manufactured Airway Adapters.

WARNING! Airway Adapters shall not be reused. Used airway adapters shall be

disposed of in accordance with local regulations for medical waste.

WARNING! The user must be aware that the Airway Adapter will add 6 ml dead spaceto the

breathing circuit.

WARNING! To prevent “rain-out” and moisture from draining into the Airway Adapter,place the

adapter in the vertical position as shown in the picture below.

WARNING! The user must be aware that light transmission can be affected by water

rainout/condensation in the airway adapter if a heated humidifier is used. Dry or change airway adapter if
necessary.

 WARNING! Check all alarm settings before use.

WARNING! Audible alarm volume of any monitor may not be heard in some loud environments,

such as when sirens are in use and the care provider is more distant from the alarm source. Alarm volume
should be tested with the extremes of your noise environment to confirm ability orlimitations to hear an
alarm in all circumstances of the environment.

2.2 Cautions

CAUTION! The airway adapters are non-sterile devices. Do not autoclave the devices
as this will damage them.

CAUTION! Never sterilize or immerse Capnometer in liquid.

CAUTION! Do not operate Capnometer at ambient temperatures less than 5°C or greater than 50°C.

Note: The unit of ETco2 and Inco2 is mmHg. 1mmHg CO2 means (1 / 7.6)% CO2 (sea-level)
The unit of Rr is bpm (Breath per minute)

4 Preparation for Use

4.1 Setting up
Please charge the battery before using it. It can be used for 3 hours after it is fully charged. The green light
will be on during charging.

4.2 Starting up
Attach the Airway Adapter to the Capnometer. Check that it is properly fitted and press the power on
button. A start-up sequence will be initiated to check the proper functioning of all display .

When you turn on the capnometer, it must be preheated so that the screen will display ”warm up” before it
can be measured until it is gone. It takes about 30-90s.

When the Capnometer is ready, the end tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and the inspirate CO2 (INCO2) display indicates 0,
the Respiratory Display indicates “- -“.

4.3 Switching off

Long press the power switch, the device will be off .

4.4 Connecting the Capnometer to a breathing circuit

4.5 Calibration zero

If the sensor indicates zero required or the baseline on the display screen is too high, press the
on/off button twice in 2 seconds (short press), the machine will perform zero and display
"Zeroing" after the user confirms that there is no breathing air in the mainstream adapter.
The ”zeroing” process takes about 10S-15S.

4.6 Use attention

If the screen show “chk adapt”, the airway adapter may be polluted by water vapor, dry or change airway
adapter if necessary.

5 Alarm
Low battery: If the battery is out of power, the battery icon will flash. The volume alarm level 1.
Check adapter: The screen will show “CHK ADPT ” , etco2 ,inco2 and rr will display “--” . The volume alarm

level 1.
Etco2 too high: If the etco2 value more than 48mmHg, the value will flash. The volume alarm level 2.
Etco2 too low: If the etco2 less than 28mmHg, the value will flash. The volume alarm level 2.
Inco2 too high: If the inco2 more than 7mmHg, the value will flash. The volume alarm level 2.
Rr too high: If the respiration rate more than 30 bpm, the value will flash. The volume alarm level 2.
Rr too low: if the respiration rate less than 8 bpm, the value will flash. The volume alarm level 2.
Apnea: the screen will show “APNEA! ” , rr will display “--” and flash, etco2 and inco2 will display “0”. The
volume alarm level 3.
