10.3.2 About the Resp Tile
• The Resp tile displays all respiration in units of RPM with a resolution of 1 RPM.
• If the measurement is invalid, “- -” displays in place of digits.
• Displays all non-alarming text in the configured respiration color when the respiration source is 
ECG. 
• Displays all non-alarming text in the configured CO

 color when the respiration source is CO

. 
• Replaces the digital value with an Apnea message when an apnea alarm condition exists. 
10.3.3 Resp Alarms
Refer to the "Factory Default Alarm Limits" on page 8-5 for additional information.
10.3.4 Message Area
The message area provides information about the current state of the Resp parameter. If there is 
more than one message to display, the messages scroll. 
MESSAGE DETAILS
