The sample line should be place near the dump valve.

Why the one way valve?

Chris Germana the one way valve ensures the INO moves in only 1 direction. Very important with HFOV since the flow is a constant back and forth. The INO had the potential to collect and concentrate in the humidifier if one is not installed.

Rhen Mitchell Thats interesting ,Makes sense. In our practice we’ve never done that and so far no problems.

Chris Germana Rhen is correct, the one way valve is required. Without it you are causing no2 to buildup in your system. Causing your patient to go into methemoglobinemia. I've worked as an RT in quite a few hospitals and have always used a one way valve when using HFOV/INO.
