23 - 8 BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual
23.7.4 Entering the Standby Mode
You can set the CO
2
module to one of the following modes according to the module status:
â– Select Measure mode when you use the CO
2
modue for monitoring.
â– Select Standby mode when you does not use the CO
2
module to prolong the serviec life of the CO
2
module.
The default operating mode is Measure. If you are not using the CO
2
module, you can proceed as follows to enter
the Standby mode:
1. Select the CO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the CO2 menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Operating Mode to Standby.
23.7.5 Entering the Intubation Mode
When performing intubation during general anesthesia, you can enter the intubation mode in order to reduce
unnecessary alarms. To enter the intubation mode, follow this procedure:
1. Select the CO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the CO2 menu.
2. Select Intubation Mode.
For the details of the intubation mode, see 10.13Intubation Mode.

2
Module
23.8.1 Setting the Auto Standby
The monitor enters standby mode automatically after the configured period of time if no breath is detected since
the last detected breath. To set the auto standby, follow this procedure:
1. Select the CO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the CO2 menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Auto Standby.
23.8.2 Setting Humidity Compensation
Sidestream and microstream CO
2
modules are configured to compensate CO
2
readings for either Body
Temperature and Pressure, Saturated Gas (BTPS), to account for humidity in the patient’s breath, or Ambient
Temperature and Pressure, Dry Gas (ATPD).
â– ATPD: P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x P
amb
/100
â– BTPS (sidestream): P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x (P
amb
- 47)/100
â– BTPS (microstream): P
CO2
(mmHg)=CO
2
(vol%) x (1- 0.03)x P
amb
/100
Where, P
CO2
(mmHg)= partial pressure, vol%=CO
2
concentration, P
amb
=ambient pressure, and unit is mmHg.
For the sidestream and microstream CO
2
module, you can set the humidity compensation on or off according to
the actual condition.
To set the humidity compensation, follow this procedure:
1. Select the CO
2
numeric area or waveform area to enter the CO2 menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set BTPS Compensation.
â—† Switch on for BTPS.
â—† Switch off for ATPD.
