BAROMETRIC PRESSURE: This setting is used to set current Barometric Pressure.
GAS TEMPERATURE: This setting is used to set temperature of the gas mixture. This
setting is useful when bench testing using static gasses where
the temperature is often room temperature or below.
NO BREATH DETECT TIMEOUT: This setting is used to set the no breaths detected time-out. This
time-out is the time period in seconds following the last detected
breath at which the Capnostat will signal no breaths detected.
O2 COMPENSATION
ANESTHETIC AGENT
BALANCE GAS: Use this setting to correct for the compensation of the gas
mixture administered to the patient. Anesthetic agent is ignored
when the balance gas is set to helium.
CURRENT ETCO2 TIME PERIOD: This setting is used to set the calculation period of the ETCO2
value. The end-tidal CO2 value is the highest peak CO2 value of
all end of expirations (end of breaths) over the selected time
period. If less than two breaths exist in the selected time period,
the value will be the maximum ETCO2 value for the last two
breaths.
CURRENT CO2 UNIT: Continuous waveform mode commands (the CO2 Waveform
