FiO2 monitor is inactive, the High FiO2, Low FiO2, and Very Low FiO2 alarms are also inactive.

NOTE: The FiO2 monitor is equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation.
NOTE: Performance of the FiO2 monitor may be affected by high humidity, cyclical pressure, or other sources of
interference.
