Additional notes regarding cross-sensitivity compensation errors:
Xenon: The presence of Xenon in the exhaled breath will negatively bias Carbon Dioxide
values by an additional 5 mmHg at 38 mmHg.
Desflurane: The presence of desflurane in the exhaled breath at concentrations greater
than 5% will positively bias Carbon Dioxide values by up to an additional 3 mmHg at 38
mmHg.
Ethanol, Isopropanol, Acetone, Methane: CO2 accuracy will not be affected by the
presence of 0.1% ethanol, 0.1% isopropanol, 0.1% acetone or 1% methane.
Quantitative effects of humidity and condensation: Full accuracy specifications will not
be maintained for all non-condensing humidity levels.
