Monitoring End-Tidal CO2
2000966-386D Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 15-5
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
Only available when in the OPERATING ROOM
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.
CO2 AVERAGING Select a time interval for averaging CO
2
.
CAL SENSOR TO ZERO
CELL
NOTE
Only available with a Mainstream setup.
Zero the sensor each time a sensor is connected to the
monitor.
CALIBRATE SAMPLE
LINE
NOTE
Only available with a Sidestream setup.
Calibrate the module each time a module is connected to
the monitor.
CALIBRATE ADAPTER NOTE
Only available with a Mainstream setup.
Calibrate the airway adapter each time a adapter is
connected to the monitor.
SPEED Select the sweep speed for the displayed waveform.
