Overview - Siemens Scio Manuel De Référence

Overview

The Scio module is a free-standing unit that samples breathing gases
from adults and pediatric patients in non-, partial- and total rebreath-
ing systems. It continuously measures the content of CO
and one of the anesthetic agents Halothane, Isoflurane, Enflurane,
Sevoflurane and Desflurane in any mixture. It communicates real
time and derived gas information to the host system. Except for
N O, the monitor saves values derived by the modules in its trend

storage.
CAUTION: The gas information is intended to be used by trained
and authorized health care professionals only.
The Scio module calculates both inspiratory and expiratory O
ues (iO

rate of the Scio module is fixed at 150 ml/min. (±20 ml/min.)

patients with compromised respiratory status, the physician
should increase the fresh gas supply to satisfy the patient's
respiratory requirements.
The Scio module uses infrared light for the measurement of CO
volatile anaesthetics. A small amount of the patient respiratory gas is
drawn through a measuring chamber. An infrared light is shone
through the chamber and the gas sample absorbs different amounts
of light. A paramagnetic cell is used for the measurement of O
cell uses a physical reaction that is proportional to the O
tion. Mechanical shocks during measurement or the presence of
other paramagnetic agents can distort the measurement of oxygen
concentration.
Siemens disclaims all liability for the consequences of product alter-
ations or modifications, as well as for the consequences which might
result from the combination of this product with other products,
whether supplied by Siemens or by other manufacturers, if such a
combination is not endorsed by Siemens.
CAUTION: The Scio module purges and zeroes itself approxi-
mately once every two hours. The purging/zeroing cycle lasts no
longer than 25 seconds. Waveforms flatline and P-box values blank
from the screen during this cycle.
