Operations Parameter Monitoring (Numerics)
5.10.3 Gas (available with the AG module)
The gas monitored parameter group consists of the following parameters:
• Fraction of inspired carbon dioxide and End-tidal carbon dioxide (FiCO
2
and EtCO
2
)
• Fraction of inspired oxygen and End-tidal oxygen (FiO
2
and EtO
2
)
• Fraction of inspired nitrous oxide and End-tidal nitrous oxide (FiN
2
O and EtN
2
O)
• Fraction of inspired anesthetic agent and End-tidal anesthetic agent (FiAA and EtAA, AA
stands for anesthetic agent)
• Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)
•Age
If the parameter data is out of range, it is displayed as “– – –”.
NOTE: The high alarm limit is displayed to the top right of the reading. The low
alarm limit is displayed to the bottom right of the reading.

5.10.4 Inspired O
2
(available without the AG module)
The unit of measure is % (volume %). If the parameter data is out of range, it is displayed
as “– – –”. FiO
2
measurements between 100 % and 110 % inclusive will be displayed as 100 %.
Above this range, the system will display “- - -”.
FiO
2
values above 100 %, although not realistic, are possible due to errors in calibration.
NOTE: The high alarm limit is displayed to the top right of the reading. The low
alarm limit is displayed to the bottom right of the reading.
