VF4 Infinity Gamma Series Page 5-25
Message: RRc > UL
Message: RRc < LL
Parameter value:
<value>
RRc is outside alarm limits
because of:
• A physiological condition.
• Inappropriate alarm
limits.
• A defective sensor or
etCO
2
pod.
• Check the patient and
treat if necessary.
• Change the alarm limits
• Check equipment and
replace if necessary.
Message: etCO
2
Too
High
Parameter value: ***
CO
2
value is out of range
(high).
• Check the patient and
treat if necessary.
• Recalibrate the sensor.
Message: RRc Too High
Parameter value: ***
RRc value exceeds the
upper range.
• Check the patient and
treat if necessary.
• Recalibrate the sensor.

• Try the sensor again. If
the message persists,
try a new sensor.
Message: etCO

• Shift to Manual mode
and dial in pressure.
• If automatic pressure
required, return to
Biomed.

Sensor
Warming Up
Parameter value:
<value>
CAPNOSTAT has not yet
reached a stable
temperature.
• Wait for the sensor to
warm up (up to three
minutes at room tem-
perature). If the mes-
sage fails to clear, call
Biomed.
Message: etCO

Sensor
Failure
Parameter value: ***
CAPNOSTAT source current
is out of range or sensor
did not warm up within 3
minutes.
• Try the sensor again. If
the message persists,
try a new sensor.
Message: etCO

Sensor
too warm
Parameter value: ***
External heat source is
warming the sensor.
• Remove heat source.
• If the problem persists,
disconnect and recon-
nect the sensor.
• Replace the sensor.
Message: etCO

Place
Sensor on Zero Cell
Parameter value: ***
Last sensor calibration
failed or is not the last
sensor calibrated on this
pod.
• Place the sensor on the
zero cell and wait for
zeroing to complete.
