Accuracy:
EtCO

readings
NOTE:
Accuracy applies for breath rates of up to 80 bpm. For breath rates above
80 bpm, accuracy is 4 mmHg or ±12% of reading whichever is greater, for
EtCO
2
values exceeding 18 mmHg. This is tested by Medtronic according
to and is compliant with ISO 80601-2-55. To achieve the specified
accuracies for breath rates above 60 breaths/minute, the Microstream
FilterLine H Set for Infant/Neonatal must be used. Above 55ºC module
temperature, ± 1mmHg or ± 2.5%, whichever is greater, has to be added to
t
he
tolerance of the accuracy specifications.
The accuracy specification is maintained to within 4% of the values in the presence of
interfering gases.
Above 55°C module temperature, ±1 mmHg or 2.5% (whichever
is greater), has to be
added to tolerance of accuracy specifications.
Respiration rate, measured in range of 0 - 150 bpm with following accura
cy:
0 - 70 bpm: ±1 bpm
71 - 120 bpm: ±2 bpm
121 - 150 bpm: ±3 bpm
