Sample flowrate
Adult: 70 ml/min, 100 ml/min, 120 ml/min, 150 ml/min
Pediatric, neonate: 70 ml/min, 100 ml/min
Sample flowrate tolerance 15% or 15 ml/min, whichever is greater.
Warm-up time
Iso accuracy mode: ≤45s

Rise time
Measured with a neonatal watertrap and a 2.5-meter neonatal sampling line, or an
adult watertrap and a 2.5-meter adult sampling line:
<400 ms @ 70 ml/min
<330 ms @ 100 ml/min
<300 ms @ 120 ml/min
<240 ms @ 150 ml/min
Gas sampling delay time
Measured with a neonatal watertrap and a 2.5-meter neonatal sampling line:
<4 s @ 100 ml/min
<4.5 s @ 70 ml/min
Measured with an adult watertrap and a 2.5-meter adult sampling line:
<4.5 s @ 150 ml/min
< 5 s @ 120 ml/min
<5.5 s @ 100 ml/min
<6.5 s @ 70 ml/min
awRR measurement range 0 to 120 rpm
