18.10 Setting the Gas Compensation
The presence of interfering gas affects the CO
2
measurement. To get the best possible measuring result, it is
needed to set the gas compensation. The configured concentration of the interfering gas should be in
accordance with its actual proportion.
For the microstream CO
2
module, gas compensations are not required.
WARNING
•
Make sure to use the appropriate compensations. Inappropriate compensations may cause
inaccurate measurement values and result in misdiagnosis.
For the sidestream CO
2

when N
2
O predominates in the ventilation gas mixture.
◆
Select

2
is less than 30%.
◆
Select an appropriate setting according to the amount of O
2
in the ventilation gas mixture.
■
AG Compensation
: enters the concentration of anesthetic gas present in the ventilation gas mixture. This
could compensate for the effect of AG on the readings.
