Module
While zeroing is recommended the first time a CO

sensor is connected to the monitor,
it is only absolutely necessary when the message “Zero Required” is displayed.
Follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the catheter or airway adapter is not connected to the patient or
close to any source of CO
2
(including the patient's, your own exhaled breath
and ventilator exhaust valves).
2. Using any of the following methods to perform zeroing:
Select the CO2 parameter area or waveform area, and then select【Zero】
button.
Select 【Zero】quick key→Select【CO
2
Zero】submenu→select the
CO
2
to zero.
The screen prompts【CO2 Zero In Progress…】, and the message disappears after the
zeroing is completed.
For Nomoline ISA CO
2
, the sampling tube should be pulled out for automatic zero
when needed.
