The total fresh-gas flow bar graph has three ranges:
Gas consumption depends on patient uptake,
leakage, and the CO
2 volume converted in the
absorber.
If fresh-gas data is unavailable, the bar graph will be
inactive and the text will appear grayed out.
Volumeter Module
The volumeter module shows the tidal volume V
T
and minute volume as bar graphs. The scales can be
configured by the user (see the chapter
“Configuration” for more information).
The Tidal Volume (Upper) Graph
The tidal volume graph increases during the
inspiratory flow and decreases during the expiratory
flow. A blue vertical line remains on the graph to
indicate the inspiratory volume, while the bar recedes
from the line to indicate the expiratory phase.
The expiratory tidal volume is shown in numerics
above the graph. Leakage is indicated by the bar
remaining in the graph at the end of the expiratory
phase.
Indication

color
Meaning
too much yellow fresh-gas delivery is more
than 1 L/min above the
gas consumption
(leak + uptake)
efficient green fresh-gas delivery efficient
too little red fresh-gas delivery less
than minimum flow
required (leak + uptake)
