CO2 Display and Setup
The CO
2
parameter box displays the inspired
and expired values for CO
2
in Vol%. If CO
2
alarms are disabled, crossed-bell icons appear
next to the corresponding parameter values.
In OR mode, the etCO
2
waveform is always
displayed in the bottom waveform channel. You cannot change its
display location in the OR mode.
In OR mode, Scio is automatically the etCO
2
source, regardless
of previous source selections. (The source selection item on the
etCO
2
Setup menu is for display only in the OR mode.)
NOTE: When you exit the OR mode, the Scio module remains the
etCO
2
source and the parameter labels etCO
2
, iCO
2
and RRc are
displayed with an asterisk (*). In order to change the etCO
2
source,
click on the etCO
2
parameter box and change the source selection
(SCIO or POD) in the etCO
2
setup menu.
