• Carefully route the NomoLine Sampling Line to reduce the risk of patient entanglement or strangulation.
• Do not apply negative pressure to remove condensed water.
• Dispose in accordance with local regulations for biohazardous waste.

has a perforated septum.
• Do not use NomoLine Adult/Pediatric Airway Adapter Sets for infants/neonates as the adapter adds 6 ml dead space.
