The letter identified the product the problem and the action needed to be taken by the customer with the addendum to the Instructions for Use. If you have a ? in the parameter block and no CO2 waveform on the display, the waveform source is invalid. If invalid, check patient, confirm airway status and examine the FilterLine to make sure it is connected to the device and not kinked or pinched. For more information on the EtCO2 Option see Monitoring Carbon Dioxide chapter in the HeartStart MRx Instructions for Use.
