Compatibility and Applications
The Smiths Medical 225-3450-800 gas sampling line is intended for use with compatible respiratory gas monitoring systems, anesthesia monitors, capnography equipment, and patient breathing circuits that accept male and female luer-lock sampling connections. It may be used in operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, procedural suites, recovery areas, and respiratory therapy settings.
Common applications include end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring, anesthetic gas sampling, respiratory status assessment, and procedural monitoring where sampled gas is transferred from the patient circuit to a compatible analyzer or monitor.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm that the Smiths Medical 225-3450-800 gas sampling line is compatible with the monitoring equipment, breathing circuit, and facility protocol. Inspect the tubing and luer-lock connectors for damage, kinks, cracks, or contamination before connecting. Attach the male and female luer-lock connectors securely to the appropriate ports, making sure the connection is tight but not overtightened.
Position the 10 ft line to avoid pulling, occlusion, twisting, or contact with moving equipment. During monitoring, check the line periodically to ensure sample flow is not obstructed and that the connection remains secure. Replace the line according to facility policy, manufacturer guidance, and patient care requirements.
