23.2 AG Measurement Limitations
The following factors may influence the measurement accuracy:
â– Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas
â– Mechanical shock
â– Cyclic pressure up to 10 kPa (100 cmH
2
O)
â– Other sources of interference, if any
23.3 AG Display
The AG module can send waves and numerics for all measured anesthetic gases for display on the monitor,
including:
â– CO

, O

O and AA waves
â– awRR: airway respiratory rate
â– MAC: minimum alveolar concentration
â– End tidal (Et) and fraction of inspired (Fi) numerics for CO

O and AA
AA represents one of the following agents: Des (desflurane), Iso (isoflurane), Enf (enflurane), Sev (sevoflurane), or
Hal (halothane).
If only one anesthetic agent is used, the AA waveform area displays the waveform of this anesthetic agent. If
several anesthetic agents are used, the AA waveform area displays the waveform of the primary anesthetic
agent.
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use flammable anesthetic agent such as ether and cyclopropane
for this equipment.
