Calibrating
Sensors
To calibrate a sensor, follow this procedure.
1. Remove the adapter from the sensor.
Option Function
UNITS Select the units of measure of inspired and expired CO
2
.
NOTE
Respiration is measured in breaths per minute; no
breath is measured in seconds.
CO2 SCALE Select a scale for the displayed CO
2
capnogram. The larger
the scale, the smaller the displayed waveform. A waveform
scale that exceeds the defined display area is flattened on
top.
CO2 LIMITS Select high and low alarm limits for inspired/expired CO
2
,
respiration rate and apnea. An alarm sounds when a value
occurs outside of these limits.
N20 COMPENSATION NOTE

patient-monitor type.
Select the percentage of N
2
O concentration to compensate
for N
2
O-related elevation of the CO
2
value. Obtain the
concentration from an analyzer or anesthesia machine.
O2 COMPENSATION Select the percentage of O
2
concentration to compensate
for O
2
-related decrease of the CO
2
value. Obtain the
concentration from an oxygen analyzer.

2
.
