16.3 Monitoring Procedures
16.3.1 Zeroing the sensor
You must perform zeroing following the steps when using the new airway adapter.
1. Expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO
2
including the
ventilator, the patient’s breath and the operator’s.
2. In the CO
2
Setup menu, please set the Work Mode to Measure.
3. For EDAN module, select User Maintain > CO
2
Maintain, and click Zero. For
Respironics modules, click Zero in the CO
2
Setup menu.
4. If the system briefly displays Zero In Progress, the process is successful. After the
zeroing calibration is finished, you can start CO
2
Monitoring. If the system displays
Breath detected or Zero required, zeroing has failed. Zero calibration must be
performed again.
