Calibrate O
2
sensor for sidestream
measurement with 100% O
2
This is necessary for the monthly linearity check.
Prepare a substitute sampling line:
●
Cut the sampling hose through the middle.
●
Unscrew the original sampling hose from the water
trap and screw on the slit sampling hose.
On Cato:
●
Disconnect fresh gas hose from breathing system.
●
Set an O
2
flow of 1 L/min O
2
at the O
2
flow tube and
slide the sampling hose into the fresh gas hose.
●

with the rotary control.
●
Display:
●
Allow O
2
to flow for approx. 2 minutes.
●
Press rotary control to confirm; calibration is then
started and continues automatically. The clock icon
(
✓
) is then replaced by a tick (
u
).
●
Screw the original sampling hose back onto the
water trap.
●
Plug the fresh gas hose back into the breathing
system.
Check linearity
– Must be checked every month.
First calibrate the O
2
measurement used (inspiratory or
sidestream) with 100% O
2
(see above).
Then:
●
Expose the inspiratory O
2
sensor to ambient air for
approx. 2 minutes or,
in the case of the O
2
sensor for sidestream measurement:
●
unscrew the sampling hose from the water trap and
allow it to take in air for approx. 2 minutes.
Display on screen should show between
18 and 24 vol.% O
2
.
If value displayed is outside
18 to 24 vol.% O
2
sensor capsule is faulty.
