Measurement method: Dual wavelength, non-dispersive infrared absorption
Measurement modes: Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal: Sidestream only
Measurement range: 0-99 mmHg CO2 partial pressure
Accuracy
(full accuracy from the time the first
value appears on the screen):
0 to 38 mmHg:±2 mmHg
39 to 99 mmHg:±5 % of reading +0.08 % for every
1 mmHg (above 38 mmHg)
Drift of measurement accuracy: 2.0 mmHg over 24 hours
Quantitative effects of humidity and
condensate on accuracy
Full accuracy specifications are maintained for all non-
condensing humidity levels.
Adverse effects on performance of
cyclical pressures up to 10 kPa (100
cmH2O)
No effect on accuracy
Effect of barometric pressure on
accuracy
No effect on accuracy

temperature, pressure, and saturation
Calibration interval: Initially calibrate after 1,200 operating hours, then once a
year or after 4,000 operating hours, whichever comes first.
The initial calibration should not occur before 720 hours of
use
