CO2 Specifications
16-8 EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use
CO
2
Accuracy 0 mmHg – 38 mmHg: ±2 mmHg
39 mmHg – 150 mmHg: ± (5% of reading + 0.08% for every 1
mmHg above 38 mmHg)
As soon as a CO
2
reading is presented, the measurement is
accurate to the above specifications.
Notes:
• Accuracy applies for breath rates up to 80 bpm. For breath
rates above 80 bpm, accuracy is ±4 mmHg or ±12% of reading,
whichever is greater for etCO
2
values greater than 18 mmHg. To
achieve the specified accuracies for breath rates above 60
bpm, use the FilterLine™ H set for infant/neonatal patients.
• The accuracy specification is maintained to within 4% of the
values indicated in the presence of interfering gases.
Drift of Measurement
Accuracy
The periodic auto zero function compensates for drifts
between components, changes in ambient temperature, and
barometric conditions. This automatic process eliminates
variances that might otherwise cause measurement drift.
Therefore, the module does not exhibit drift.

The monitor is equipped with automatic barometric pressure
compensation.
Effects of Cyclical
Pressure
Will operate within specifications with overpressure and
underpressure from a ventilation system as follows:
• Overpressure: +100 cmH

1. If the MicroMediCO2 cannot hold the flow within the specified range, the module will stop measuring, enter
Failure Mode, and set the appropriate status bits.
