17.5.6 Entering the Standby Mode 
For the AG module, the default operating mode is measure. When you set the AG module to 
the standby mode, the AG gas sample intake pump automatically sets the sample flow rate to 
zero. When exiting the standby mode, the AG module continues to work at preset sample 
flow rate with no need to warm up again. After nearly 1 minute, the module enters the full 
accuracy mode. The standby mode of the CO
2
 module relates to the standby mode of the 
monitor as follows: 
  If the monitor enters the standby mode, the AG module will also enter the standby 
mode. 
  If the monitor exits the standby mode, the AG module will also exit the standby mode. 
  If the CO
2
 module enters or exits the standby mode, it will not affect the monitor. 
 
To enter or exit the standby mode manually, in the agent’s setup menu, select [Operating 
Mode] and then toggle between [Standby] and [Measure].You can also set a period of time 
after which the AG module enters the standby mode automatically if no breath is detected 
since the last detected breath. .To set the standby time, in the agent’s setup menu, select 
[Auto Standby] and then select the appropriate setting. 
 
 
17.5.7 Setting up the AG Wave 
Select a gas’ waveform area to enter its waveform menu. In this menu, you can: 
  Select [Wave Type] and toggle between [Draw] and [Fill]. 
  [Draw]: The CO
2
 wave is displayed as a curved line. 
  [Fill]: The CO
2
 wave is displayed as a filled area. 
  Change the size of the waveform by adjusting the [Scale]. 
 
 
17.6 Changing the Anesthetic Agent 
If the anesthetic agent administered to the patient changes, a mixture of both gases is detected 
by the AG module during the transition. The time needed to complete the exchange depends 
on the type of anesthesia (low flow or high flow), and the characteristics of the agents 
administered (pharmacokinetics). During the exchange, no prompt message will be given and 
MAC value may be inaccurate. 
 
The AION 02-type AG module cannot identify anesthetic agents automatically. Accordingly, 
you must change the setting of [Agent] in the corresponding menu to achieve the consistency 
between the preset anesthetic agent and the actually used one.
