6. Return the sensor to the incubator or oxygen hood.
2 Point Calibration (Cal Gas)
A 2-point calibration of the system, to 100 % dry oxygen and room air (21 % oxygen),
should be performed every week:
1. Make sure the monitor is turned on, that the NeoMed pod is properly
connected, and set up for FiO
2
monitoring.
2. Set up the sensor for O
2
calibration following your hospital’s guidelines.
3. Open the FiO
