Configuring Gas Measurement Alarms
Gas measurement alarms are divided into two groups, each one with its own adjustment
allowing its alarms to be activated or deactivated.
1. General audible alarms (configured from the General tab) are:
awRR, etO2, inO2, etCO2, and imCO2
2. Anesthetic audible alarms (configured from the Anesthetics tab) are:
etN2O, inN2O
1
, etHAL, inHAL, etSEV, inSEV, etENF, inENF, etISO, inISO, etDES, and
inDES
The alarm limits and measurement values are displayed as configured by the user in the
Gas menu.
Notes
• The anesthetic values and their limits always have one digit after the decimal point.
• The N
2
O values and their limits are whole numbers when the selected unit is “%” and has
one digit after the decimal point when the selected unit is “Mac”.
• The CO
2
values and their limits are whole numbers when the selected unit is “mmHg” and
has one digit after the decimal point when the selected unit is “%” or “kPa”.
• The O
2
and awRR values and their limits are always whole numbers.
The patient monitor displays the waveforms on the left side of the screen and numeric
panes on the right side of the screen. Two Gas waveforms can be displayed on the
numeric pane, Gas Page 1 and Gas Page 2.
When the first Gas waveform is selected, the Gas Page 1 pane is added to the right of the
screen. When a second waveform is assigned to the screen, the Gas Page 2 pane is
added to the screen.
Above and below the Gas waveform are lines which mark the minimum and maximum
levels. These scale lines are not at the absolute edge of the waveform region, but at
1.
The physiological alarm “inO
2
Low” cannot be disabled.
Note: the waveforms above have been compressed.
