Numeric Value
RR is represented by a numeric value that ranges from 1 to 149 breaths per minute
(bpm). When an RR value is not available, the value displays dashes (--). The RR
value displays in conjunction with two smaller numeric values, the high alarm
limit and low alarm limit.
Trend
RR values are represented by a trend that ranges from 0 to 150. The Y-axis
(vertical) range is 0 to 150 and is configurable by the user (in the example above,
the maximum value is set to 35). The X-axis (horizontal) represents time; the
range is 10 minutes to 24 hours and is configurable by the user.
Pre-Use Check
Before connecting the NomoLine sampling line to the breathing circuit:
1. Connect the sampling line to the NomoLine capnography Light Emitting Gas Inlet
(LEGI) connector.
2. Check that the LEGI connector shows a steady green light (indicating that the
system is OK). See NomoLine Capnography LEGI Indicator on page 60.
3. Breathe briefly into the sampling line and check that a valid CO
2
waveform and
values are displayed.
4. Occlude (obstruct) the sampling line with a fingertip and wait for 10 seconds.
5. Check that an occlusion alarm is displayed and that the LEGI connector shows a
flashing red light.
6. If applicable: Perform a tightness check of the patient circuit with the sampling
line attached.
