Data Output Specifications
Breath detection Adaptive threshold, minimum 1 vol% change in CO
2
concentration.
Respiration rate
***
0 to 150 ± 1 breaths/min
Fi and ET **** Fi and ET are displayed after one breath and have a continuously
updated breath average.
The following method is used to calculate end-tidal (ET) values:
• The highest concentration of CO
2
during one breathing cycle with
a weight function applied to favor values closer to the end of the
cycle.
ET will typically decrease below nominal value (ET
nom
) when respiration
rate (RR) exceeds the RR threshold (RR
th
) according to the following
formula for CO
2
:
(with NomoLine HH Adult/Pediatric Airway Adapter Set)
