1) Exception: At a Desflurane concentration of more than 4 Vol% a mixture will be detected at the latest when the concen-
tration of the second anesthetic gas increases to over 10 % of the Desflurane concentration.
2) The respective value depends on the PGM used which is displayed on System Information page.

Compensated by cyclic zeroing. Zeroing is performed auto-
matically and with ambient air. This means there is minimal
change to the gas concentrations in the breathing circuit.
