Quick Reference Table – etCO2 Setup
The following table explains Microstream pod etCO

setup functions.
Calibration
Calibration of the Microstream pod is not necessary unless the calibration check fails.
A calibration check should be performed when the monitor displays the advisory
message Calibration Required. An initial calibration is requested after the first 1,200
operating hours. Afterwards, calibration is required annually or at 4,000 operating
hours, whichever is first.
Calibration is a Biomed function and is password protected. Consult your hospital’s
technical personnel for further information.
