Directions
Attach the flow regulator to the calibration gas cylinder. Ensure that the valve is shut off completely.
1. Attach a new EMMA Airway Adapter to EMMA.
2. Turn on EMMA and ensure that the ETCO
2
reading is zero. Otherwise conduct a Zeroing
procedure according to chapter 7.4 above before proceeding.
3. Insert the 15M connector into one end of the EMMA Airway Adapter, and connect a second
EMMA Airway Adapter to the other end (see picture).
4. Turn on the regulator flow.
5. After 30 seconds, record the ETCO
2
reading.
6. Turn off the flow.
7. Determine and record an estimated ambient atmospheric pressure in mmHg.
8. Use the following table to determine if the unit is reading within specified limits.
Column A
Barometric Pressure
Column B
EMMA ETCO
2
Readings should be between
If the unit is reading within the above range then your EMMA has been successfully verified.
If the unit is not reading within the above range, disconnect the Airway Adapter from the gas bottle and
perform a Zeroing procedure according to the instructions in chapter 7.4 above and then repeat the Gas
span check procedure. If verification still fails, contact your local distributor for further instructions.
