Check that the current flow rate is less than 10ml/min, and the alarm message “
CO2 Airway Occluded
”
does not disappear.
This indicates that the module does not leak. If the alarm message disappears, or the flow rate is equal to
10ml/min or greater, it indicates that the module leaks. Perform the leakage test again. If the problem
remains, contact your service personnel for help.

Calibration
For sidestream and microstream CO
2
modules, a calibration is needed every year or when the measured values
have a great deviation. For maintream CO
2
module, no calibration is needed. To calibrate the CO
2
module,
contact the service personnel.
CAUTION
•
Connect the gas outlet to the scavenging system when calibrating the CO
2
module.

Test Method Used to Determine the Respiration Rate Measuring
Range
To determine the RR measurement range, follow this procedure:
1.
Connect the 5% CO2 + N2 (BAL) gas cylinder, reduction valve, rhythm generator and gas sampling path of a
monitor.
2.
Respectively set the rhythm generator to generate a respiration rate of 0 rpm, 6 rpm, 20 rpm, 60 rpm,
120rpm, and 150 rpm.
3.
Verify that it meets the specifications.
NOTE
•
The rhythm generator mentioned above is a sensor/sampling site in Figure 201.101 – Test apparatus
for the TOTAL SYSTEM RESPONE TIME of an RGM of ISO 80601-2-55.

concentration is too
high.
2. Check the sample line and connectors for leakage.
3. Check the patient status.
