Figure 2. For optimal water handling, always use T-adapters with the sampling point in the
center of the adapter, as shown above.
Note: Using sample tubes or cannulas with an inner diameter greater than 1mm will increase
NomoLine capnography’s total system response time.

consumables, visit www.masimo.com.
NomoLine Sampling Line Replacement
NomoLine sampling lines should be replaced according to good clinical practice or when the
sampling line becomes occluded. Occlusion occurs when water, secretions etc. are aspirated
from the respiratory circuit to such an extent that NomoLine capnography cannot maintain
the normal 50 ml/min sample flow. This situation is indicated by a red flashing sampling gas
connector and an alarm message; replace sampling line and wait until the sampling gas
connector switches to green, indicating that the NomoLine capnography gas analyzer is
again ready for use.
Operation
System Setup
1. Connect a new NomoLine sampling line to the NomoLine Capnography input
connector. See Front View on page 38.
2. Connect the gas sample exhaust port on the rear of Rad-97 to a scavenging system
or return the gas to the patient circuit as shown below to prevent pollution of the
operation room when N
2
O and/or anesthetic agents are being used. Due to the risk
of patient cross-infection, always use a bacteria filter on the exhaust port side if
sampled gas is intended to be re-breathed.
