NOTE: You can use any flow meter that has an accuracy of at least ±2% for the
accuracy measurement of the flow sensors.
NOTE: Set the Gas Flow Analyzer Correction Mode to ambient temperature
and pressure.
To check the measurement accuracy of flow sensors:
1. Remove the bellows dome, then the Bellows and re-install the bellows dome.
2. Remove the water trap.
3. Put the AUTO / MANUAL Lever in the AUTO position.
4. The pneumatic connections between the anesthesia machine and calibration device are as
