The fabian HFO CO
2
Monitoring View (Figure 22) displays real time CO
2
data. The displayed data
includes:
• Real time “etCO
2
“values along with selected unit “mmHg”, “kPa” or “Vol%”.
• Respiration rate (RR) named “Freq” in breaths-per-minute (bpm).
• EtCO
2
Waveform.

12.2.4.3 Respironics CO
2
sensor zeroing
The Respironics CO
2
sensor is compatible with a variety of different airway adapters.
• Zeroing allows for the sensor to accommodate the optical characteristics of each of the different
adapter types.
• A zero should be performed whenever the type of adapter being used with the Respironics CO
2
sensor is changed.
• For optimal accuracy, a zero should also be performed whenever the sensor is connected to the
host system.
Before performing a zero calibration (Figure 23), the Respironics CO
2
sensor should be removed
from the patient circuit, and the airway adapter type to be used in the circuit should be inserted into
the sensor.
• Care should be taken to ensure that the airway adapter is clear of any residual CO
2
gas.
• The maximum elapsed time for a zero is 30 seconds. The typical time for a zero is 15 to 20
seconds.
