Masimo CO
8.3. Checking the CO
When you have connected the patient following the steps listed above, you should
be able to see a CO
waveform on the PPM3 display as shown below. The PPM3
2
should also display values for the patient's end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO
fractional inspired carbon dioxide (FICO
alarm limit settings. With either the ISA or IRMA modules there is negligible
impact on CO
measurement accuracy in the presence of O

Figure 28. Masimo CO
To manually test CO
2
use the following approach. First, either connect the patient to the Nightingale
PPM3 using the above procedure or continue as follows with a patient who is
already being monitored. Then, enable the alarms ETCO
Next, lower the ETCO
that "ETCO
< [upper limit]" annunciates as a medium grade alarm. Press the
2
ALARM SILENCE key, and return the ETCO
value. Verify that the alarm is no longer active, and that CO
continues normally. Repeat this process in turn for the RRc and FICO
parameters.
The CO
Monitoring settings and specifications for the Nightingale PPM3 may be
2
found in the PPM3 Monitor Settings and Technical Data chapters. Procedures for
changing configuration settings, such as adjusting alarm limits, changing the
waveform size (amplitude), setting the apnea time, or selection O
compensation values may be found in the Working With Menus chapter.
