• When the message “CO2 calibration is required” is displayed
• When an offset in gas readings is discovered (0-offset)
Zeroing procedure 1. Select the menu CO
2
> ETCO
2
and then the menu item “Perform zeroing”. The
green LED on the ISA sensor is blinking and the Zeroing process is displayed
on the DEFIGARD/PHYSIOGARD Touch 7.
2. When the green LED on the sensor stops blinking, the calibration is finished.
3. Check the etCO
2
curve in the display to see if the connections have been made
correctly and if the etCO
2
value is in the expected range. The curve rises during
expiration.

Incorrect zero adjustment leads to erroneous measurement results.
Therefore, make sure that the calibration is performed in a well-ventilated room.
Avoid breathing near the gas analyser before or during the calibration.
If the ISA gas analyser is stowed in the transport bag, ensure good ventilation of
the bag or check that the gas exhaust is connected before calibration.
• The ISA sidestream gas analyser performs zeroing automatically by switching the
gas sampling from the respiratory circuit to ambient air. The automatic zeroing is
performed after startup and 1 to 3 times per day and it takes less than 3 seconds.
• During zeroing, if ISA’s exhaust gas is returned to the patient circuit, the returned
gas level will be different from the gas level at the sampling site.
