Using the Microstream CO
2
Extension (M3015A)
The M3015A Microstream CO
2
Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a
patient’s expired gas using Microstream technology.
In intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patient’s breathing circuit
through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. In non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn
through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula.
When using the appropriate accessories, you can use the Microstream CO
2
measurement with adult,
pediatric, and neonatal patients.
The M3015A is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation.
Preparing to Measure Microstream CO
2
Use appropriate accessories for:
• the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal),
• the ventilation situation (including humidification)
• the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU).
All accessories are for single patient use only.
Using Microstream Accessories
M3015A can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for
