The following test method is used to determine the module's
rated respiration rate range and the corresponding effects of
end-tidal gas readings accuracy as a function of respiratory
rate:
• The system is set for operation.
• The power connection is verified.
• The module is connected to the PC and power supply.
• A scope is connected to the digital/analog multifunction I/O.
• A digital output scheduler software is opened on the PC.
• Gas connections are checked.
• The power connection is verified.
• The gas mixes cylinders are open, set on the required
pressure, and their condition is verified.
• A BPM setting is selected.
• The module is connected to the gas tube.
• The module is disconnected.
NOTE:
When CO waveforms are generated the CO
2
increases in height and then returns to the selected baseline rate
(BPM).
