9-7
The A-type AG module can identify anesthetic agent automatically. When one anesthetic
agent decreases below the threshold value and another anesthetic agent plays the dominant
role, the anesthesia machine can identify such exchange automatically and displays the name
and data of the dominant anesthetic agent.
9.7 Measurement Limitations
Measurement accuracy may degrade due to:
Leakage or internal leakage of the sample gas.
Mechanical shock
Cyclic pressure which is greater than 10 kPa (100 cmH2O)
Other interference source (if available)
9.8 Troubleshooting
If the gas inlet (including watertrap, sampling tube and airway adapter) is occluded by
condensed water, airway occlusion will be prompted on the screen.
To remove the occlusion:
Check the airway adapter for occlusion and replace if necessary.
Check the sampling tube for occlusion or kinking and replace if necessary.
Check the watertrap for water build-up. Empty the watertrap. If the problem persists,
replace the watertrap.
If the problem persists, internal occlusions may exist. Contact your service personnel.
