Anesthetic gas measurement All data in % by volume at
(infrared spectrometry) 1013 mbar current atmospheric pressure
Sample rate (selectable) 60 mL/min or 200 mL/min
Delay time for sampling Less than 1 s (for a sample rate of 200 mL/min)
Response time t 10...90
at 200 mL/min 300 ms
at 60 mL/min 1 s
Accuracy The measurement accuracy required by DIN ISO 11196 is
attained at the latest 4 minutes after switching on the apparatus.
The threshold for automatic detection is 0.15% by volume.
To check the complete accuracy of Julian, a temperature
stabilisation time of 1 hour at 21°C should be observed.
The accuracy of the measuring equipment used should be at least
5 times and if possible 10 times higher than that of Julian.

Automatic anesthetic gas identification Volatile anesthetic agents are automatically identified.
Manual selection is not necessary and not possible. In the case
of a mixture of two volatile anesthetic agents, the concentration of
the secondary anesthetic agent is displayed from a MAC value of
0.1 MAC. A secondary anesthetic agent becomes the main
anesthetic agent if its MAC value exceeds the MAC value of the
main anesthetic agent by 0.2 MAC. If a mixture of more than
2 volatile anesthetic agents is present, the display is blank.
Cross-sensitivity None with respect to alcohol, acetone, methane, NO and CO.
