Humidity Correction Factor
Either BTPS or ATPD can be selected as the humidity correction factor for the Microstream CO
2
readings. The formula for the correction calculation is:
Rise Time 190 ms for neonatal mode
(measured with FilterLine H for neonatal)
240 ms for adult mode
(measured with FilterLine H for adult)
Sample Flow Rate 50 + 15/-7.5 ml/minute
Gas Sampling Delay
Time
Maximum:
3 seconds (2m sample lines)
6 seconds (4m sample lines)
Sound Pressure Acoustic noise: <45 dBA
Total System Response
Time
The total system response time is the sum of the delay time and the rise time.
