What does 'CO2 Check Cuvette Type' mean on Dräger Monitor?
- CCindy BriggsSep 7, 2025
The Dräger Monitor displays 'CO2 Check Cuvette Type' to indicate reduced accuracy. This can happen if a disposable cuvette has been selected on the monitor but a reusable cuvette has been inserted into the breathing apparatus (or vice versa). Ensure the correct cuvette is used and that the cuvette selected on the monitor is correct. Also, the zero may have drifted, so check zero. High inspiratory CO2 concentration may be the reason, so check ventilation settings, CO2 absorber and patient condition.
