Cross-sensitivity Compensation Error: Gas measurement accuracy was tested at the gas
levels listed in the following table. The additional worst case error when compensation is correctly
selected (for barometric pressure, O2, and N2O) for the actual fractional gas constituents that are
present is:
0 to 40 mmHg: ± 2 mmHg additional error
41 to 70 mmHg: ± 3 % additional error
71 to 99 mmHg: ± 5 % additional error
Additional notes regarding cross-sensitivity compensation errors:
Xenon and Helium: Constantly bias etCO2 values >= 38 mmHg by up to –5 mmHg
Desflurane: At concentrations > 5%, constantly biases etCO2 values >= 38 mmHg by up to
+4 mmHg
