17.2 Understanding the AG Display
The AG module can send waves and numerics for all measured anesthetic gases for display on the monitor, including:
CO
2
, O
2
, N
2
O and AA waves
awRR: airway respiratory rate
MAC: minimum alveolar concentration
End tidal (Et) and fraction of inspired (Fi) numerics for CO
2
, O
2
, N
2
O and AA
Where AA represents Des (desflurane), Iso (isoflurane), Enf (enflurane), Sev (sevoflurane), or Hal (halothane).
The AA waveform area displays the primary anesthetic gas’s waveform. When O
2
module does not exist, no O
2
waveform
will be displayed. When O
2
module exists, the O
2
waveform will be displayed only when the O
2
waveform is currently
switched on.
WARNING
To avoid explosion hazard, do not use flammable anesthetic agent such as ether and cyclopropane for this
equipment.
