17. Manual gas control only
18. In order to reflect time lag due to pharmacokinetics between alveolar concentration and the target organ brain
concentration, the high continuous MAC alarm activation and deactivation are delayed.
19. The high MAC alarm limit is 2.2 MAC, from starting a New Case, until 15 minutes after initial Vaporizer activation.
Otherwise, it will be 1.8 MAC
