Installing the Water Trap
Install the water trap into its receptacle on
the Scio module by pushing against the
Scio. A click will indicate that it is seated
properly. Confirm that the water trap is
empty. (For information on replacing the
water trap, see page 18.)
Connections
The Scio module connects to the SC 7000/8000/9000XL moni-
tor via an I
device Communication Power Supply (CPS). Scio functions are
not available in DirectNet mode.
WA RN IN G S :
!
Do not use the module without a Watertrap.
!
Sampling tubing should be kept as short as possible
(but not stretched) to minimize dead space and opti-
mize response time. Long sampling lines degrade
the performance of side stream measurements, may
affect accuracy, and result in slower response times.
!
Always use Siemens-approved Scio sampling tub-
ing (polypropylene). Never use standard pressure-
sensor tubing (PVC). PVC tubing absorbs anesthetic
agents, which it later releases (degassing). The use
of standard PVC tubing can result in erroneous agent
concentration readings.
!
To avoid the risk of explosion, do not use flammable
anesthetic agents such as ether and cyclopropane
with the Scio module.
Connect the module and tubing as follows:
1. Connect one end of the sampling tubing to the water trap, and
the other end to the airway T-connector. (For information on
changing sampling tubing and T-connector, see page 17).
2. Connect one end of the exhaust tubing to the exhaust port at
the rear of the module, and the other end to the hospital's gas-
scavenging system.
