Note: Refer to the section “CO2 Settings in Parameter Area” for the specific options of the menu
“CO2 Settings” in “Measurement Setup”.
Warning
This monitor does not provide auto atmospheric pressure compensation. Please set a
correct altitude before the first use of the CO2 for measuring. Any wrong altitude could
result in an inaccurate CO2 reading: a reading error of 5% for each altitude deviation
of 1000m.
16.8 Discharging Waste Gases
When nitrous oxide and/or an anesthetic gas is used, you should prevent these gases from
polluting the operating room. Usually the gas discharging outlet should be connected to (via the
gas discharging pipe connected to the sample gas outlet of the host equipment):
A discharging system (used for discharging collected gases) or the patient circuit (used for the
back flowing of collected gases).
Warning
Anesthetics: When an anesthetic which is being used or a patient who recently used an
anesthetic is measured, the gas discharging hole on the module must be connected to a waste
gas processing system or the patient circuit (on the anesthesia machine or the respirator), so
