Deactivation Of Automatic Xmac Monitoring - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
A B C D E F G H
If the xMAC value rises, the lower alarm limit for
the xMAC level will be automatically adjusted to
the anesthetic gas concentration after
activation (A). The lower alarm limit (B) can thus
reach a maximum value of 1.0.
The lower alarm limit can be recalculated by
touching the Autoset button (C). In special
anesthesia situations, the xMAC low alarm can be
adjusted in this way and consequently also exceed
the value of 1.0 if necessary.
If the expiratory xMAC value falls below the alarm
limit (D or G), Perseus generates the xMAC low
alarm with low priority. If the alarm is not
acknowledged with the ALARM RESET button,
the priority is raised to medium priority after 60
seconds.
Deactivation of automatic xMAC
monitoring
If the xMAC low alarm (D or G) is acknowledged
with the ALARM RESET button (E or H), the
monitoring is deactivated. This prevents renewed
alarms as a result of the anesthetic gas
concentration continuing to fall at the end of
anesthesia (H). If the anesthesia is continued (E),
the monitoring will be automatically reactivated as
soon as the inspiratory xMAC value rises above
the expiratory xMAC value (F).
In CBM mode the lower alarm limit is adjusted both
upwards and downwards so that no alarm is
issued during this time. Similarly, the value is not
limited to 1.0 during this time.
