Calibration Adapter

The  calibration  adapter  is  a  6-inch  Tygon  tube  with  a  male  Luer 

connector on the end. During calibration, connect one end of the tube 

to the external filter (on the monitor) and the other end to the calibration 

gas. 

Alternatively, the calibration gas can be sampled from:
an optional 

Tedlar gas bag 

(P/N 500-0003-000) filled with calibration 

gas,
