After the patient had received some pre-anesthesia, he was moved into the mri room.At that time he was placed on the co2 monitor but it didn't function correctly.The biomed was called and responded but also could not get an accurate reading.Manufacturer response for invivo co2 monitor, invivo (per site reporter): our biomed department spoke with rep.They suggested changing the water filter.This was done and resumed working but it had been changed in past 3 months.Recommendation from manufacturer is every six months.We continue to have intermittent problems with the equipment.The issue is sporadic and often cannot be reproduced later by biomed.In this instance biomed came to mri and was unable to get the co2 monitor to function correctly.
