Nitrous oxide, elevated levels of oxygen and helium can influence the CO
2
measurement. Please setup gas compensation according to actual state.
Barometric pressure compensation is required to meet the stated accuracy of the
CO

module.
Do not place the airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow, as this may
allow patient secretions to block the adapter windows.
Position the airway adapter with its windows in a vertical and not a horizontal
position, this helps keep patient secretions from pooling on the windows.
