15.7.5 Set Scale
1) Select the CO
2
parameter area or waveform area to enter [CO
2
] menu.
2) Select [Setup] tab.
3) Set [Scale] of the CO
2
waveform.
15.7.6 Set Waveform Type
1) Select the CO
2
parameter area or waveform area to enter [CO
2
] menu.
2) Select [Setup] tab.
3) Set [Waveform Type] of the CO
2
waveform.
15.7.7 Set Gas Compensation
In some cases, such as ventilating with an anesthetic machine or ventilator, the patient's respiratory gas is mixed
with other gases that interfere with CO
2
measurement, and then gas compensation is required to eliminate the
interference of these gases in CO
2
measurement. The concentration of gas compensation should be set based on
the actual concentration of interfering gases.
Set gas compensation for sidestream CO
2
modules as shown below:
1) Select the CO
2
parameter area or waveform area to enter [CO
2
] menu.
2) Select [Setup] tab.
3) Set gas compensation as shown below:
MASIMO CO
2
Module:
[O
2
Compensation]:
[High]: The default O
2
Compensation is 85%.
[Med]: The default O
2
Compensation is 50%.
[Low]: The default O
2
Compensation is 21%.
[N
2
O Compensation]: set as required.
RESPIRONICS CO
2
Module:
[O
2
Compensation]: Choose the appropriate value according to the O
2
content in the measured gas.
COMEN CO
2
Module:
[O
2
Compensation]: Choose the appropriate value according to the O
2
content in the measured gas.
Please set gas compensation based on the actual conditions, or the measurement results may differ
greatly from the actual values to cause misdiagnosis.
