Scale Allows you to select the following scales:
FiO2 Level Selects the FiO
2
level. The FiO
2
level is used in gas compensations of the CO
2
measurement to
increase the measurement accuracy. Make sure the level is set if the FiO
2
level is higher than
40%.
Unit Selects the CO
2
display unit: %, kPa or mmHg.
Resp Rate Source
You can select the rate to be calculated from the ECG leads (impedance measurement) or the
CO
2
measurement. If you select AUTO, the rate is automatically calculated from the measured
CO
2
. If impedance measurement is present and the source is AUTO, the respiration rate
calculation switches back to impedance respiration if you press the
Silence Alarms key
during an Apnea alarm.
