c.
The Monitor automatically detects the Sensor and provides calibration options. If the Monitor fails to
detect the Sensor, refer to the Table in
Section I
6. Sensor Calibration
NOTICE! The AirWave System must be calibrated prior to use. When a Sensor is plugged into the
Monitor, the System automatically enters the calibration sequence.
a.
The AirWave retains calibration information for the previously calibrated Sensor. If the Sensor is
accidently disconnected from the Monitor, or if the Monitor is turned off and then turned back on, the
system provides the option to proceed using the previous calibration information.
b. If the system has a previous calibration in memory, the following screen is displayed (see Figure G-22).
If there is no previous calibration, proceed to step d.
Figure G-22
c. Select No (X) to continue using the previous calibration only if the following two conditions are true:
The previously calibrated Sensor has not changed (same Sensor serial number).
The previous calibration was performed for the same model and size ETT. Check that the current
ETT matches the displayed diameter, length and manufacturer.
Selecting No (X) will skip the remaining steps in this section and immediately take the user to the
Patient Monitoring Screen
. Using the previous calibration also causes the system to use the previous
baseline information (if it was set); the baseline can be reset manually if desired (see
–
).
Select
Yes (
✓
)
to continue with a new calibration when using a new sensor or changing the ETT size.
d.
When performing a new calibration, the following screen appears (Figure G-23). Use the up or down
navigational arrows to select the appropriate ETT inner diameter; the system allows selection of tube
sizes from 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm and 6.5 mm to 9.0 mm in half-millimeter increments.
