Application Questions
How do I connect the POM O2 universal supply line to my O2 connector/union?
Please review PDF entitled New ISO Tubing Connector Standards for assistance in properly using and attaching the POM Universal O2 Supply Line. In response to several sentinel events around the U.S. involving wrongful mis-connections to medical equipment, the FDA, World Health Organization, and Joint Commission have come together to eliminate the use of “all-purpose Christmas Tree” adapter. This multi-purpose adaptor has allowed for multiple medical mis-connections resulting in deaths. As the medical field moves forward to solve this issue, it has been proposed that all medical systems have an individual International Standard to be prepared in response to the need for a safe method of connecting medical equipment.
Is the ETCO2 port compatible with Philips Microstream capnography monitors?
Yes. POM Medical now offers a connection solution to the Microstream™ monitors. See list of POM MSA products.
What if the CO2 sample line gets in the way?
The Co2 sampling line can be tucked under the left face strap on the mask to place it out of the way.
