April 2019 Nightingale PPM3 User's Guide 22-3
NOTE: Use only certified calibration gas apparatus that has not reached its
expiration date. This cal gas can be applied to the PPM3 patient monitor in
pulses that simulate patient breaths.
1. Connect the supplied CO
2
calibration FilterLine between the PPM3 and the
cal gas canister.
2. Pulse the calibration gas actuator, holding it depressed for 10 seconds and
released for 10 seconds (3 BPM). This will allow enough time for the
ETCO
2
to stabilize in both inhaled and exhaled states.
3. Verify that the ETCO
2
value reads 38 ± 2 mmHg and the FICO
2
value
reads 0 ± 2 mmHg.
NOTE: Factor a ±0.05 correction for every 100mmHg of ambient barometric
pressure above or below sea level respectively.
NOTE: The PPM3 should be returned to Zoe Medical for periodic servicing of
the CO
2
system after 30,000 hours of CO
2
use.
NOTE: Use only certified calibration gas apparatus that has not reached its
expiration date. This cal gas can be applied to the PPM3 patient monitor in
pulses that simulate patient breaths.
1. Connect the PPM3 to a calibration gas canister (5% CO
2
, 21% 0
2
,
Balance N
2
)
2. Pulse the calibration gas actuator, holding it depressed for 10 seconds and
released for 10 seconds (3 BPM). This will allow enough time for the CO
2
values to stabilize.
3. Verify that the FiCO
2
value is 0-2 mmHg and that the ETCO
2
value is
within the range that is defined in the following table:
Current Atmospheric Pressure
Masimo ISA (Sidestream) CO
2
1. Connect a new Nomoline sampling line with male luer lock to the ISA
LEGI and check that the LEGI shows a steady green light.
2. Connect a short silicon tubing with an inner diameter of 3/32” (2.4 mm)
to the Nomoline male luer.
3. Exhale a long breath into the silicon tubing until the CO2 concentration
is greater than 34 mmHg.
4. Quickly connect the silicon tubing tightly to the ISA exhaust port.
5. Wait 1 minute until the CO2 concentration has stabilized. Note the
value.
