2.2.3 Connection to network 
If either Cardiocap/5 Network option (N-XNET or N-XDNET) is installed, you can connect the 
Cardiocap/5 to the Datex-Ohmeda Network and iCentral. Use the Monitor-Network cable to connect 
the monitor to the network. 
1. Power off the monitor.  
2. On the rear panel, connect one of the RJ-45 connectors to connector X4 and connect the 
Identification Plug to connector X3. 
3. Connect the other RJ-45 connector to the corresponding Datex-Ohmeda...

• Attach the other end of the line to the ventilator reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir tube 
diameter is at least 2-3 times larger than the exhaust line.  
2.2.6 Scavenging through the anesthesia gas scavenging system 
Anesthesia machines are equipped with an anesthesia gas scavenging system (AGSS), and in some 
machines you can connect the sample gas outlet directly to that. 
For example, connect the sample gas outlet to the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Avance:...

2.2.8 Returning gas to the patient circuit 
In some anesthesia machines, you can return the sample gas to the patient circuit, refer to the 
anesthesia machines manuals. For example, if you use the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Anesthesia Delivery 
Unit (ADU), connect an optional adapter (881644, 5/pkg) to the patient breathing tubes.
