NOTE:
The periodic auto zero function compensates
for drifts between components, changes in ambient
temperature and barometric conditions. This automatic process eliminates variances that might otherwise
cause measurement drift. Therefore the module does not exhibit drift.
Environmental Conditions:
Fluid Ingress Protection:
IPX2, Drip Proof
Frequency Response:
EtCO

accuracy applies for breath rates of up to 80 bpm. For maintaining
accuracy for respiration rates above 80 bpm, accuracy is 4 mmHg or ±12% of
reading, whichever is greater
, for EtCO
2
values exceeding 18 mmHg. To
achieve specified accuracies for breath rates above 60 bpm, Microstream
neonat
al airway adapter M1996A must be used.
Gas Interference:
The following liquid anesthetics have been tested and were found to have no effect:
• Desflurane
• Enflurane
• Halothane
• Isoflurane
• Sevoflurane
