BTPS Body Temperature and Pressure, Saturated
Options: ON and OFF.
When BTPS is turned ON, the system performs BTPS compensation automatically;
when BTPS is turned OFF, the BTPS compensation is disabled.
When measuring the CO
2
content inside the patient’s lung, turn ON BTPS. Normally,
the lung temperature of the patient is 37
℃
and the water vapor is sufficient or
regarded as saturated. But the temperature and water vapor content of the sampling
line are different from the patient’s exhalation. Thus, when the patient’s exhalation
passes the sampling line, the accuracy of the CO
2
concentration measured by the
sensor will be adversely affected. To ensure an accurate measurement, you should
turn ON the BTPS. In this mode, the system adjusts the calculation coefficient
automatically, so that the measured value is just the actual CO
2
content in the
patient’s lung.
When measuring the CO
2
content of the environment or a certain vessel, turn OFF
BTPS. In the standard ambient pressure and dry gas, the accuracy of the sensor
measurement is not affected.
NOTE
z
Set the compensation type according to the practical situation. Incorrect
setting might incur errors from the actual value and cause misdiagnosis.
z
The water vapor compensation is turn ON by default. Turn OFF water
vapor compensation when measuring dry gas, such as when performing
regular maintenance or measurement validation using dry calibrated
gas.
z
The BTPS compensation is turn ON by default. When measuring a damp
gas at the body temperature and of saturated water vapor, turn ON
BTPS; when measuring a dry gas at the ambient temperature and
pressure, turn OFF BTPS.
z
Perform the calculation compensation by strictly following the operating
method.
