ICROSTREAM® ETCO2 MONITORING
etCO
2
Display Features
The monitor reports etCO
2
data as waveforms and parameter values. Current
parameter values appear in the etCO
2
parameter box. For information on displaying
trended etCO
2
values, see chapter 6, Trends.
Parameters
The etCO
2
parameter box displays the following parameters and their current values.
CAUTION: When connecting a
sampling line to the monitor, move
the cover of the CO
2
port to the side;
insert the sampling line connector
into the CO
2
port, then turn the
connector clockwise to secure it in
place. This ensures that gas does not
leak from the connection point and
helps to ensure that measurement
accuracy is not compromised.
