Selecting an Agent ID
You can manually choose an agent type by touching the SELECT AGENT key in
the main menu which opens the agent selection sub-menu. The prompt line above
the sub-menu identifies the detected agent: DES, SEV, ISO, HAL, ENF. MIX is
displayed if more than one agent is detected, and NONE if the agent type is not
identified.
Touching the AUTO ID key sets the analyzer to automatically use the agent type
detected. The five agent keys are the manual agent selection keys. Selecting one
of the agent keys forces the analyzer to use and report the concentration levels
based upon coefficient factors of the manually selected agent.
Agent ID Conflict Detection
In AUTO ID mode, if nonzero concentration levels are reported for more than
2-minutes and the agent type is not detected, a conflict is declared and the AUTO
ID key flashes.
In manual mode, when an agent type other than the selected agent type is
detected, a conflict is declared and the key with the detected agent type flashes.
When a conflict is declared, the agent parameter areas flash on all screens also.
The conflict is confirmed and the flashing of the keys and agent parameter areas
stops when either a selection is made in the Select Agent menu (a key is touched)
or the Select Agent menu is exited.
Conflict detection is restarted if:
• the agent concentration level goes to zero for more than 2-minutes.
• an agent type is selected that is not the type currently selected and not the
first agent type in conflict.
WARNING:
• In the event an agent is selected manually, but not
administered, the analyzer will detect the difference and
begin flashing the agent parameter label area and the
detected agent’s key. This is to alert the clinician to
possible errors.
CAUTION:
• If you see AGNT or MIX next to the numeric values on the
display, wait until HAL, ISO, ENF, SEV, or DES only appear
on the screen to indicate that the multigas analyzer
recognizes the agent you are using. The displayed values
are based on the coefficient factors of the last detected or
selected agent type. If the last detected or selected agent is
different than the agent you are using, you may receive
inaccurate values. Confirm the agent type before you
continue with patient treatment.
