NOTE:
When the CO
2
monitoring function is not in use, please set the
WORK MODE
to
STANDBY
.
UNIT
: to change the display units of CO
2
and FiCO
2
parameters.
mmHg
and
kPa
are
available for selection.
APNEA ALM
: After selecting the alarm time for
APNEA
alarm (having 7 levels, which are
10S, 15S, 20S, 25S, 30S, 35S
and
40S
), the
CO
2
APNEA
information will appear on the
screen after the corresponding selected time. The alarm level is
HIGH
.
SWEEP
: to adjust the display rate of CO
2
waveforms with
6.25mm/s, 12.5mm/s
,
25.0mm/s
or
50.0mm/s
selectable.
Exit

■
WAVE SCALE
: to adjust full scale size of CO
2
waveform display area with
LOW
or

selectable. The default value is
LOW
.
■
BARO PRESS
: to set the barometric pressure value. For gaining accurate readings,
you should set this barometric pressure correctly.
■
O
2
COMPENS
: to adjust the O
2
compensation concentration as per the selection of the
user. Input the proper O
2
compensate value according to the O
2
concentration of the inhaled
gas.
■
ANE AGENT
: to adjust the anaesthetic compensation concentration as per the
selection of the user. The concentration ranges from 0~2.0%. Input the proper concentration
value according to the anaesthetic gas concentration of the inhaled gas.
■
BALAN GAS
: to balance the gas compensating operations. Select different
compensating types for balancing gas. The compensation types are
ROOM AIR, N
2
O
and
HELIUM
.
■
WATERVAPOR
: determine whether to make watervapor compensate.
Water vapor compensation accounts for the effect of water vapor on the CO
2
IR (Infra-Red)
absorption characteristics. The user may disable this compensation in certain situations.
During normal operation, CO
2
measurements are adjusted mathematically to compensate for
this effect.
The host may choose to disable this compensation when performing dry gas measurements
