Note that gas metrics and RR are displayed

Ensure that surplus gas is evacuated by the
hospital’s gas evacuation system.
Depending on the type of external system and
current fresh gas settings, expired gas may
be diluted with fresh gas, causing the
measured gas metrics displayed on the control
panel to be lower than their actual values.
Ensure that the fresh gas flow is sufficient to
avoid unwanted CO

rebreathing.

seconds, during which time a dialog is visible.
Fresh gas mix is delivered according to the

ventilation mode.

automatic ventilation mode are displayed.
