HILO Calibration
Figure 2.2: HILO CAL
NOTE! A HILO CAL procedure should be performed after the
capnography parameter has been on for at least 15
minutes.
NOTE! Remove the device from the patient before performing a
high/low calibration procedure.
To perform a HILO CAL:
If the patient is attached to the capnography module, disconnect 1.
the sample line tubing from the monitor by unscrewing the lter
luer from the module on the left side of the monitor.
If you are using a standard pneumatics module, remove the 2.
moisture lter and attach the calibration adapter (BCI
®
part
number 8223) to the gas inlet.
Connect one end of the “T” assembly to the regulator on the gas 3.
canister. Connect the second end of the “T” assembly to the gas
inlet on the monitor. Leave the third end of the “T” assembly open
to room air.
Turn the rotary knob on the monitor to move the cursor. Highlight 4.
the CO

parameter box name and push the knob to select.
Highlight HILO CAL and push the knob to select.5.
Turn the rotary knob to highlight YES and push the knob to select. 6.
TURN GAS ON will be displayed in the CO

Quickly open the ow control valve on the calibration gas canister. The valve must be fully opened in less 7.
than 30 seconds.
When TURN GAS OFF is displayed in the CO8.
